The Flatline simply does what it says it will do: adds a bit more effective range and makes it so the ball fallows a flatter line. Is this what you want? Remember now, the accuracy is no better than that of normal straight bore barrel, so if you cannot consistently hit targets from 20 yards away in game conditions...you will not be able to do so from 40 yards, I'm sorry to say. You also have to look at the expense: it requires good, fresh, paint of a small bore. Is this going to bust the budget? Is this available to you? If your local field only allows ZAP Seconds, then no. And do you want the ability to lob shots in? This can be just as effective as being able to fire flat shots. It really depends. |

Well if you play speedball you probably wont want it. But lets not get into that. If you play woodsball youll love it. I have had one for a year or so now. Its amazing. It lets you shoot alot further on a flatline tragectory than any other barrel. And the accuracy is pretty good on it also. The only real problem is though that if you are shooting at someone from a long distance the ball will slow down just like with a normal barrel. This means you will get bounces if you dont hit them sonwher like the marker pack or mask. |

umm no. The Flatline is the best barrel for woodsball but not good for speed. |

I need to find smaller pictures for my profile.

The best barrle for speedball would be to get a barrle kit such as the freak or the evil pipe bom kit. I have tried the freak and I own an evil pipe bomb kit. The only real difference between the two is that the evil can shoot through broken paint in your barrle better than the freak can.

Ever read about what it does to you? The autopsy which was leaked on Dr. Atkins wasnt exactly a bill of health.
Atkins Diet ... all hype. You lose fat and muscle. Weight is a bad measurement of health. |

I love my flatline barrel. And you can mount a regular scope to it (even though people have mixed opinions about the scopes)
