balls go slow eh? weird, i thought all guns were suppose to shoot at 280 fps on a regulated field... it only appears like the ball travels slow because its such a flat trajectory. the ball is not droppin like it normally would if it were shot out of a regular barrel so it appears to be traveling slower, but in fact the ball would be traveling just as fast at that particular distance if it were shot out of a regular barrel.

In actuality the ball would be traveling slower at say 150 feet if it were shot out of a regular barrel instead of a flatline because the ball would be rolling on the ground.:)

The ball doesnt go any slower or it would register a slower FPS when chrono'd. My friend has a flatline with an L/P and a R/T trigger and it works great. He has a halo and has cranked that thing WAY up it shoots SO FAST, and doesnt break a ball.



I had to see it to beleive it. :)


So those who say the flatline doesnt work well with the R/T obviously havent tried it. :)

does the r/t, reactive trigger, make the tippmann full auto???

not technically, what it does is when you squeeze the trigger it pushes your finger back out so if you apply light pressure on the trigger it will keep firing.

Once you get good at using it you can pop off an amount of rounds you want. Its a pretty neat upgrade :)
