Barrel Help Flatline or Bigshot

Hey guys im just about to get a new barrell and i have read so mayn good reviewws on both the flatline and ths bigshot. the bigshot is half theprice but the flatline shoots so much further(from wat i heard) so im just looking fro soem help so if ya could please help me decide between the Bigshot and The Flatline. Additional info to takein is that im a 100 percent woodsball and i use cheap paintthe main three are core, heavy metal, and bigshot. Just take that into concideration and please help. thanks guys

nicely said, no matter what people say, the flatline dose loose the power to break the balls from long range.

ok thanks but i still need more opinions

well how new are you to paintball? i'd say if you are still semi-new i'd get a lapco bigshot. but if you are more experienced, get a flatline. also some anti-flatline people would say that you should instead learn to be more tactical and learn to get to your opponent closer and take them out. also it dpeends on your current budget. if you ge tthe lapco, you cans ave money on other upgrades, unless you already ahve a steady setup. in the end, it is all on personal reference

flatline needs good paint..

bigshoot, just needs paint... i used both and preferebly like the flatline more IMO!

i have a bigshot and am very pleased with it    for all of the bad reports i have heard about teh flatline i would not say it is worth the money      i would definately suggest the bigshot    if you want some specs of my suggested  bigshot  they are    14 inch   bead blasted   there you go.

Get a 12 inch Bigshot just straight, no bead blast.  Any longer than 12 inches is more of of a waste of space than a barrel that can strike fear into the enemies eyes.  Bead blasting isn't really useful, although if you want to spend the few extra bling to get it that's cool.  Flatlines can have some problems while game play.  Breaking balls seem to be the top of the list.  If the tube on the flatline is inserted wrong it'll shread balls right off.  And really important, if you have an automatic upgrade in yourgun, such as an R/T or E-bolt, those balls will lose all accuracy.  Bigshots are more fun, because you can not only attack from a far but also have the same accuracy up close.  In woodsball (which is my favorite too) it's more important to move up and hold a position and flank than it is to hide and pick people off.  The sniper can always be sniped.

ok

i use the flatline in speedball as a FRONTMAN! i have used various barrels such as the bigshot and j&j ceramic, dye boomstick, dye ultralite, most of the 32* barrels, and i hate them. for all you people that say the flatline sucks in speedball have probably had never played with a flatline on a real speedball course. oh for woodsball, the flatline is #1, no doubt about it. my brother with the bigshot would just lob shots at me so the roll right past me and i would watch the paint going outta my flatline and it was SO AWESOME when i saw one going right for his mask and then seeing the spray! oh i also was playing another game of woods, and my dad was about 40yds away and all i could c was his head so i shot ONCE and nailed him right in the neck and i use core paint too. i say get the flatline, and you wont b dissappointed.
