i used to play paintball and never saw a paintball rise, even when shooting at grossly over-the-limit settings. i dont remember what normal fields limit you to, maybe like 275 FPS or something like that, but even with my Impulse cranked up to essentially it's maximum before it breaks, balls still dropped.
Come to think of it all my shots eventually dropped as well.
I suggest however that a few of them rose before they dropped. You just weren't paying attention.
I don't think your barrel was rifled, the balls certainly are not, consequently, the spin is not always consistent. The Impulse is a good gun but not above shooting a knuckler on occasion.
