I see you play in the woods so i would have to say Flatline. The flatline will let you reach out there a little bit further but its not as accurate as the freak at close range.

Being that there are no snipers in paintball, both barrels will do you good, The flatline WILL get you more distance, but the extra distance is not accurate distance, The advantage is that the flatline give you a Flat trajectory, not unlike that of a rifle. Whereas the freak will give you accuracy by volume.

Either one is fine. Get what you like

Freak kit

pros

-Gives you good accuracy

-Lets you adjust to bore size so you can use any kind of paint

cons

-Not very gas efficient

-compared to the FL it doesn't give you extra distance

-Pretty expensive

FL barrel system

Pros

-Gives you extra distance

Cons

-Not very accurate

-Very loud

-heavy

-finiky on paint (you have to use small bore paint or you might have problems. Also its kind a a pain to clean compared to a staraight barrel.

all right let me says this....SNIPER ARE IN PAINTBALL its a senorio he probley lays down so he cant be seen wait for his victom and start filling him in....flat lines ARE NO heavy they dont even wight a pond. well mabey they wight 1. I personaly think the flat line isnt all that loud and really who care...think about it as soon as their hit they cant shoot...plus the extra feet who cares if it not close to hitting. once you get use to it you can hit them....with the freak you wont even be able to shoot that far.so just because u can aim well with it at long distian is better then now being able to hit that far away....i am sorry for my spelling i know i am not to great at that

Althought the ability to take an enemy out from a distance is one of the many skills that snipers are valued for, its not the only thing that defines them. Snipers are scouts they are used to locate enemy positions, fuel/ammo deopots, observe enemy movement, support advancing troops, hunt other snipers etc. Now how can you say the use of a sniper isnt in paintball? scenario especially.
