Is this because my guns velocity is to high, or is it the barrel. I was shotting the crappy paint that comes with the Wal-Mart pods.

**Stan** · June 24th, 05:01 PM

it was probobly because of a bad paint to barrel match, or you balls might have been dimpled, causing them to curve, the problemwas porbobly not caused by the velocity

**Number One Andrew** · June 24th, 05:08 PM

So it was the paint?
I'm gonna go try out big ball, theyre much better then the paint I was using.

**Number One Andrew** · June 24th, 05:14 PM

The Big Ball kinda surved, but its 2 week old paint. I might buy a tear drop barrel soon anyway.

**Mangudai** · June 24th, 05:58 PM

yea man. Its weird because I did the paint to barrel match with my friends gun that he jsut got and that **** fell right through. It stayed in thee once tho. Well the point is...the balls curve.

**Number One Andrew** · June 24th, 06:04 PM

The barrel has paint in it, but I'm to cheap to buy a squegie.

**gil_ong81** · June 24th, 06:12 PM

rinse it out with warm water??

**Number One Andrew** · June 24th, 06:16 PM

pfff, you get up outve the computer chair and do it.

I dont use water, I shove a paper towel through it with a stick thing.

**gil_ong81** · June 24th, 07:14 PM

LOL. i guess THAT's one way to do it.

**Szczuldo** · June 24th, 07:31 PM

*sigh* and i thought i was the ghetto lazy russian...but that beats it, if your using the stock barrel it's because the the barrel, buy a teardrop or all american (both work well, all american cleans out easier after a break.

**Number One Andrew** · June 24th, 07:31 PM

Yea, it shoots purty straight now. Thanks all.

**ChaosTheory** · June 24th, 08:10 PM

the paintball is supposed to get stuck in 3 spots on the barrel and if the ball is too small it well cause it to swerve like you said. make sure the balls arent to big though. pbn has a barrel to paint chart that tells you what paintballs fit which barrel so that will also help you out

**gil_ong81** · June 24th, 08:17 PM

which 3 places?

**ChaosTheory** · June 24th, 08:46 PM

i think it is supposed to be both ends a little ways in and in the middle. if it gets stuck like it it supposed to u can try to blow the ball out also and if it comes out easily then its fine. but if u need to blow pretty hard then its too big. i think all barrels and paintball should be the same size. anyone know why there not

**Szczuldo** · June 24th, 09:01 PM

Both ends don't work, the front end of the barrel is usually always bigger than the back, just put it in the back and if it fits around the diameter of the ball then its good, give it a blow and it should go through easily.

That's a good point.

the only reason i can think of it marketing; product differentiation. It also generates more revenue when people have to start buying different barrels for different paint etc.

those sneaky bastards.

**Szczuldo** · June 24th, 09:53 PM

thats why you just buy a multi bore barrel kit, solves that problem very easily, no money, go for empire 4 piece or 7 piece, or if you have money, go with the Evil Pipe (Don't take freak...the inserts are a pain and the pipe looks much much better imo)

**gil_ong81** · June 24th, 10:12 PM

true. but ultimately, you still end up owning more than one barrel.

**Number One Andrew** · June 26th, 12:42 PM

I dont plan to own my spyder for ever, so i'm just buying a teardrop. The lady who sells me paintball stuff, is selling one for 55, so i'm looking on the net. Or is that a good price?

**foot1116** · June 26th, 12:59 PM

you could get a teardrop barrel for less but its probably convienint to just get it from the lady...its not a rip-off or anything
