best barrel for A-5

depends on the paint you're using.

A gun is not a weapon... It's a tool. Like a butcher knife, or a harpoon, or...uh, a...an alligator.

out of those the ultralite because it is the same as the boomstick but cheaper and you can anodize it.

if it moves it becomes a target.

Tippmann A5
E-grip
smartparts all american

hpa fund: £12.50/150

Woodsball = Flatline

Speed = Boomy

MacDev Militia
Alien - Because winning is more fun.

Flatline. Cant beat it.

A-5
E-Grip
JCS Dual Trigger
DOP X-CORE 8 stage x-chamber
Lapco Bigshot 14" Beadblasted

Optional setup:
R/T
Dead on Blade trigger

Personally I'd go with a Lapco Bigshot, but whatever floats your boat man.

If not, go with the Flatline.

First to play, last to stay. MN Militia.
SETUP
Tippmann C98
12" All American - Opsgear M4 Foregrip - M4 Mag Kit - Solid Stock

YO "You Won't See Me" i installed it right you

....

The barrel unless you have exact paintball match sucks even the guy who sold it to me said you needed tourney paint so i would know i bought one and it can't shoot straight. I probably know more about it than you do. i know way too amny pros who told me that it sucks and if it is so good then why doesn't tippmann effect use it or any people i know???

First of all...Tippmann Effect doesn't use it because they play speedball. Most people don't like the flatline for use with speedball.

Secondly, "The barrel unless you have exact paintball match sucks " The flatline needs small bore paintballs!! It needs space for the ball to roll through the barrel. Also, you should probably learn how to make sense.

The last point im going to even attempt to bother with is ...."I probably know more about it than you do. i know way too amny pros who told me that it sucks " Yea looks like you know more about it than me.

The "amny" pros that don't like it dislike it because of the fact that they play speedball and the flatline is primarily a woodsball barrel

Please, oh please, come back some other time for another schooling. Till then don't post.

The barrel you use doesn't depend on the paint...the paint depends on the barrel.

not if you play at fields with field paint only... or if you can only get certain paint.
