Silencer~ Flatline

Nope! So, get use to it.

im gonnaa have to agree with hybrid sniper. who cares any way just become a better player

 

Blowback is the issue not the barrel.

Ive heard of people stuffing cotton balls or styrofoam into the shroud of the barrel.

You heard right, but it doesnt do anything....the Flatline barrel isnt ported.

Thats fine wit me.

evil fingerts is right A: it won't do anything B: It could hurt your flatline C: Try explaining to tippmann that your flatline doesn't work because you tried to mod it yourself and now it doesn't work and you'd like your money back.

Tough luck, but welcome to the forum anyway. The flatline is a nice enough barrel you should be able to hit your opponent in one shot.

if your 80 feet or a little more away @300fps, your enemy will be hit before he hears it. so work on that.

try drilling some porting holes in the bottom of the barrel and let us know how it works...

lol...idk why everyone wants their gun quiet.....i like mine to be loud as all heck cuz it sounds crazy and when peopel hear they are like AHHHHH

you got two schools of thought going here. flatlines are made to reach out and touch some one with the accuarcy that other barrels do not have.that is what a sniper wants. in the real world, you can have both distance, with the accuracy AND the silencer. with paintball, you sacrifice one for the other. what I mean is this. you cannot silence the flatline without having a barrel extension over the muzzel, and as I read above, what would be the point. you would be far enough away with the distance to keep the other players guessing to your exact location. you can silence (not completely) a ported barrel and have significant noise reduction at closer range, which could save your butt if you keep from shooting 30 balls at the guy. after a couple shots, no matter what you have done to your marker barrel, you will be sighted or homed in on. unless of coarse you are playing with the rainman. at which case he will just tell you how many shots you fired and how many you have left in your hopper. bottom line, just be more stealthy in the woods and use less paint. play around with a ported barrel for sound, but forget the flatline. it is good enough as it is. adjust your playing to it if you plan to keep it.
