the flatline may add 100 feet to your shot but it costs (in canada) 250$
you can't use your stock sight personall y I think it's to bulky and ugly and I've never used one but I heard it's not very accurate and I've also heard if your gun is moving when you shoot and use the flatline the ball actually makes like a 90 degree turn as it flies.

Why cant you use your sight?? I have an A-5 and the only reason my sight is a little obscured is because of the hopper... And as far a moving and the ball makes a 90 degree turn, with my A-5 it doesnt happen.  As far as the cost I'm sorry about that... I bought mine fore ALOT less here in america....

as long as your velocity is set and the barel is alligned ritethen you shouldent have a prob     and if ur moving there is no difference in accuracy  also it has a slot for your sights to use them correctly with the curve of the barrel its good if you have it on correctly     i prefer a-5 flatline   its sooooo simple to install

no, there was an experiment on some paintballing website, paintball times i think and they measured the velocity of the paintball at different distances, they used a j&j ceramic to compare to the  a5 flatline. the results were not what were expected, all the way the flatline had a higher velocity (they didn't change any settings on the gun and they started with the same velocity coming out the barrel) until the paintball on the j&j dropped.

you can't use your stock sight How do you know this?

personall y I think it's to bulky and ugly Are you sure? What gives you the right to judge it?

and I've never used one OHH... OK, so this gives you the right to judge this barrel? You judge a barrel and make all of these assumptions, but yet you've never used it.... Nice job...

but I heard it's not very accurate If you read the mantience archive (I think that's the name of the thread) it will show you why this staement is false.

and I've also heard if your gun is moving when you shoot and use the flatline the ball actually makes like a 90 degree turn as it flies. You've heard this from someone, and believed it, but you've never seen it happen first hand? Nice job...

Consider your thread completely, and totally pwned...

You just got pwned by Belt, nice job....

and varying on the weather accuracy changes  EVERY barrel's accuracy is varied by weather changes. No matter if it is an real fire arm, air soft, BB gun, paintball gun, howitser, Paris gun,  or Atomic Annie. All barrels are affected by weather, and quality of ammunition.

also canada DOES NOT rock You forgot those two words.

its the birthplace of the coolest sport on earth HOCKEY! Hockey is not a cool sport. I'll tell you some cool sports:

hunting, target shooting, PAINTBALL, rock climbing, <insert other awesome outdoorsmen sports here>

so lay off man Why are you attacking me? All I'm trying to do is shut this guy up. He makes several threads, which are all nearly identical and are full of assumptions, and then I step in and...

Screw it... Canada still sucks.

After this do a search of all forums. Search for the username c98_sniper_dude.

Read the first post of the thread he created.

Almost all threads are exactially the same. He basically triple posts everything.

For the sake of any who may take this thread seriously...


The Flatline barrel doesn't slow down paintballs, which ought to be very obvious. If you get a flatline equipped marker chrono'd at 280 fps that's the exact same speed as any other barrel at 280 fps.  fps= feet per second... its a measure of velocity...laws of physics.

It is true that at the far end of their flight the balls are travelling slower...again physics at work...but paintballs out of all other barrels have already come to a complete stop on the ground.


Regarding accuracy, the flatline barrel is not inaccurate. It will be competitive with other barrels at comparable ranges.  At longer ranges yes, accuracy suffers. The fact that paintball guns are smooth bore makes pinpoint precision impossible and since distance exaggerates deviation...the longer the range the less accurate the shots will be.  And that applies to poor marksmanship as well...shots you might get away with in close will be clean misses at long range.

i personally got the flatline so id have really accurate shots at 100-150 feet   the fact that it can go 200 feet is a bonus but i rarely use it because of the fact that stuff curves    ive heard ppl say they can catch a ball from a flatline at 150 feet *ha* i made them test it out    at 150 feet all they came away with was a welt on their palm and a painty hand
