Topic: Flatline Posted: 03 June 2004 at 3:39pm |
I am trying to find other ways to trick out my a-5 and i am seriously thinkin about getting a flatline barrel. Im just wonderin if it is worth it or not and how acurate it really is.

if u play woods, then get the flatline. But i would also recamend the j&j ceramic and Lapco bigshot. They are cheap and very good barrels! good luck!

I found the J&J for like $35 on some mail order site
on the net... I think maybe 888paintball.com
possibly.... I don't remember.... search around
EDIT:
btw, I use a Flatline and a J&J. The flatline gives
really good distance, but isn't the most accurate
barrel I've shot. I got the J&J mostly for when I play
speed...

I'd get two barrels. For woodsball get the flatline. For speedball get a Lapco bigshot or a j&j ceramic barrel.

Avoid shooting at birds, squirrels, rabbits, etc. or PETA members will try to ban paintball forever!

I wouldnt pay $150 for a bent tube but thats what christmas and birthdays are for!! but for us in the woods the flatline is not very good up close. you already got a progressive which is good. i suggest a J&J ceramic.

The flatline is great in that there is a greater distance and it shoots almost perfectly flat. Most accuracy problems come from the barrel being screwed in too far to the left or right. It may be a pain at first but its well worth it. I like the 2 barrel set up of a jj ceramic and flatline, good combo. I play w/ a flatline and a 03 PMI RAzzor[hey, i had no clue what i was doing when i bought it]
