Just bought a Tippmann A5 it seems most of my paintballs shoot straight but some shoot down?
I was shooting into the breeze and down a hill and i’m using the cheapest piece of crap paintballs cause its just practice is it because of the paintballs? or could you explain why? please no haters 
I love my gun!!
Assuming this is a new gun, if not check the gas regulator.
What I’d do is start off by cleaning the barrel, as this can sometimes cause issues. I’d then try and get it when there is no wind and on flat ground, so you get a better idea; perhaps it’s just gusts of wind further down the hill which you can’t notice from the top. If some still spin down, I’d try firing it upside down (pain I know having to rattle it around to get bullets to feed). This way you’ll be able to see if it’s spin being put on the bullets, or just some form of gravity (if the odd few fly up its due to spin). If some do spin up, I’d try some better quality paint, even though it’s unlikely it’s down to them.
P.S. you’re not picking up any paintballs you’ve dropped are you? This would also explain it.
