Hey I was wondering what if I should get a flatline for my 98c.  I mostly play woodsball and I'm wondering if it is worth getting. I hear it is not very accurate but has more distance than any other barrel.

That depends. Do you like to sit back and "suppress," or do you like to play closer to the front lines?

It is a good barrel if you want to add distance. Especially in woodsball because it makes the trajectory more straight so you don't have to lob the paint. It is a little picky on paint but read some reviews on www.pbreview.com  There are a lot of pros and cons to the flatline. Sometimes you just have to make a decision yourself.

Then the flatline probably isnt for you. I would go for a 12" LAPCO bigshot or a j&j ceramic. or if you have the money get a broomstick
