Ok since no info. seems to be coming I'll say Flaltine because it owns snapshot in range and is pretty much as accurate.

^Got the range part right but not the accuracy.
The flatline is more of a cover-fire barrel. Good for laying down fire from long ranges. The snapshot would be a better choice for more precision shooting.
Let's say your style of play involves you snapshooting 3-5 shots at someone then returning back behind cover. In that case the snapshot is your barrel. Now if you find yourself playing back and laying down paint or shooting lanes then the flatline would be the good choice.
And the snapshot is Lapco's answer to 2-peice barrels not kits. The accushot is their kit.

not 8.99, its the same price as all lapco barrels. Don't piss on what you don't know. The snapshot is a smaller bore bisgshot, I think it is .687, versus .689 with the bigshot. Its a nice barrel, just a smaller bore. If anyone wants to compare a snapshot to an 8.99 wal-mart barrel, I won't flame you. I will reach through cyberspace and beat you over the head with my left, pink, chuck taylor. I hope to god you know what chuck taylors are.

^Wrong. As I stated before the Snapshot is Lapco's 2-Peice system. The Microshot, Autospirit, and Picoshot barrels are Lapco's smaller bore barrels. Before flaming someone for posting misinformation you really need to learn how to get your own facts straight and read the post above you.

Well first of all, you can get a snapshot as a kit.  You can get 3 backs with .687, .689, and .691 or whatever and a 12" and a 14" front.

Unless you feel the need for a lot more range, I strongly recommend the Snapshot.  I have one and I think it is an excellent barrel.

Do what you want with your money, but you can't go wrong with the Snapshot.

I said pretty much which infers that that the snapshot has better accuracy but not so much that it will knock your socks off to see the difference.

And you can, as someone said, buy the snapshot as a kit.

the flatline slows the paint down. TRUST ME!! i have one. im not saying it S L O W S it down but it sure as hell doesnt get there as fast as my friend 98 with a progressive. but it does maintain breaks. it does. but NOT A GOOD IDEA FOR SPEED BALL!!!! i used it for sb, therfore, i am a dumbass.

Still are one.
The Flatline does not slow down the ball. It gives the illusion that the ball is moving more slowly. However, a ball from a flatline will reach a spot just as fast as a ball from a conventional barrel. The flatline is a fine barrel for a backman in speedball since it's really more for shooting lanes and posting as opposed to sniping or snapshooting.

BTW guy above me, I'm kidding about the dumbass comment. Please do not take my jab personally.

Oh, and again the snapshot is not a kit. The accushot is the kit. Same barrel but different names.
