Well, theres no legal way to make it quiETER.

The only upgrade that would help even a little would be the LPK. Or a barrel with lots of porting. But it doesnt really matter how loud the gun is, if you shoot, they're gonna hear it.

You could dill some holes in your flatline for porting, I would recommend against that though.

Drilling holes could leave burs in your barrel, that would bust the paint.

Don't get a remote (belive me they are crapt)I used one for a while (did not like it)Remotes get in the way ,way to much.(plus they can shoot it and your out)plus the whole ""quiet"" thing is dumb.just shoot them first and don't worry about it.

I have the same thing.  My A-5 doesnt seem loud but just shoot the other team before they can react!!!  Let them hear your gun when they are out.

It's a Tippmann.  It's loud.  Learn to love it.

Well, I have heard of guys filling the void in the flatline sleeve with foam to help reduce the trademark ping. I doesn't "silence" it, but supposedly makes it less obvious that a flatline is shooting your way. I don't own a flatline for my A5, so I can neither confirn, nor deny such claims.

Heys is going to be loud.  Its a Tippmann after all.  the remote is a good investment if you dont want all that weight on your marker.  I use one.  If your worried about it getting caught and stuff, then run it thru your shirt (of course you need to cut a hole in the shirt you use).  In a way the remote gives the co2 time to expand into gas, so it would help out alittle bit.  well Have fun with you marker.

A-5 RT$380
Double Trigger$29.95
Flatline$149.95
16in All American$75
WGP 70ci 45 CarbonFiber$200
ETC = $1026.75
Whomping newbies who have Markers that cost more than my entire setup...PRICELESS
