What do you think will happen in the future to the barrel?

I think the rifling like done in the cmi tru-flight will be perfected and put in all barrels.

Or mabye ?

Rifling in paintball barrel simple does not work. Seems on paintballs stick out slighly more than the rest of the ball as we all know. Well rifling was created for seamless projetiles like bulets. The objective of rifling is to put a stablizing spin on a bullet, and it works, for bulllets. The seams on a paintball catch rifling and spin the ball, but the seem catches wind and spins on a 3rd axis, giving it irradic flight patterns. Technically, if you lined up the seams every damn time, it would work, but as of right no, it's not happening.

I know it dosn't work, that's why I said in the future something will be done to make it work. THis is a what if, kinda thing. Not a all logical kinda thing.

Barrels technology will provide chronys inside, so you can see the velocity easilly!
