cause i was only shooting at around 210 with my flatline.. which i feel is retarted somehow.. but the chrono at the field said i was only shooting 210, we adjusted the velocity screw are it didnt move one bit....
the remote that i was using had a bleeder valve, and it was leaking through the valve and i didnt know it untill later that day...but i chronod the gun with the remote on it not knowing it was leaking. and it was at 210, i dont know if that was the problem or what...
when i first bought the gun and used the regular barrel the velocity i think was around 285 - 270 .. this wasnt so long ago maybe a month and a half ago.
The remote is most likelycausing the problem. My tippmann would max out at 240 fps when on a remote. Thats one of the reasons I dont like remotes. Its a common problem.
maybe the problem is with remotes w/bleeders?
I'm running a thick 32degrees, and regularly have to turn down my VA due to high chrono readings from my custom
One question,
When you open your valve on your remote, do you open it all the way? If you are, that's your problem.
I found that you ALWAYS need to back-off your remote valve 1/2-3/4 of a turn.
If you don't, the internal rod from your valve will be too far extended and interfear w/flow.
Some players just crack it open with out continuing until the valve stops...I tend to back it off after reaching the bottom.
Hope this helps,

i hope it was the remote...a couple days after this incident happend , i took the remote apart and took the bleeder off. i used teflon tape, sealed it, and put it back together without the bleeder.
as for turning the valve down on the remote, i did that, and it wasnt the problem. i would turn it down a little and heard the co2 starting to escape through the bleeder.
It could've been the CO2 tank being so cold it lowered the velocity.
Then again, that's just a theory.
