the 21 in sniper barrel will just waste more gass you only need 14 inches of barrel to get good accuracy

There are 2 or 3 21" barrels on the market. One (Tru-Flight/Thunder Pig) is one of the worst barrels on the planet, and the others aren't great either. But, as noted above, the super length won't help you with accuracy anyway, and only the Flatline adds distance. |

When deciding what length of barrel you need, you need to learn how a paintball gun works. When the trigger is released, gas is released into the chamber behind the paintball. As this gas expands, the pressure pushes the ball down the barrel. The valve only stays open for a short time, allowing a certain volume of gas to be released. As the ball travels down the barrel the pressure pushing it will decrease. So depending on how much gas is released per shot, a longer barrel may cause a loss of velocity and accuracy, as the ball will have begun slowing down before it leaves the barrel. Unless you use more gas, which means less shots per tank, anything over about 14 inches won't help. |

i bought the 21 incher
Biggest waste of money ever. All it does is look intimindating, you don't get better accuracy (infact you may get worse), its not quieter, and its very long i.e.: hard to move around with it. I got the flatline now and am VERY happy with its performance... Now if they could just do something about that price, lol. |

21" will use up too much CO2 to get the ball out the barrel. i personally would get the 98c with flatline and some other ups but if you want the A-5 id go for the flatline.

I do, it's not accurate, but it goes far, I've seen it when I played with it. |

Asking for trouble here freind. The flatline is more than accurate for paintball. No matter how accurate your barrel is you still have to hit the target. If you take the time to set up your marker for your playing style and practice often. You will be rewarded with great accuracy. In my case, my marker with a flatline is set to center on the sights at 90 feet. I can get groups of 10" or less with a snap shot, or groups of 4" aiming at this distance. Note that your head makes a nice 8" target. |
