I noticed the my accuracy was very poor in windy conditions. Probably has something to do with the upspin that the barrel uses....anyone else have this problem??

or you on crack!...of course it wont shoot accurate in the wind...its a small ball with a relativley nice weight to it....what do you think the wind should do to a paintball?

thats not what i am saying...I have shot my gun with the flatline on that day and a jj ceramic, both were not as accurate as usual. But the jj wasnt near as bad as the flatline. It wasnt even worth playing with it on, you couldnt hit crap

It has to do with physics... If a paintball is shot out of ne barrel putting front spin on the ball the ball tends to cut through the wind. If a ball is shot through a barrel placing back spin on it the ball tends to use the wind as it's updraft to increase range. But in a strong wind that updraft causes the ball to veer off course or rise way to high. This is y i dont recomend the flatline
