Yes. It's the REST of the A-5 that sucks.

If I attack, follow me

If I flee, kill me

If I die, avenge me

I have one for my A-5, but don't use it anymore. I find its not very accurate,
and doesn't even get the same distance I get out of the flatline for my 98.

I didn't like it, if you plan on hitting something far away, you can't because of the accuracy. Even up close it got annoying.

Please for the love of god don't get a flatline.

Gee Hway, don't hold back...tell us how you really feel.

I've had an A-5 and a Flatline for 2+ years and had no problems with either. I've also never experienced these "up-close" accuracy problems people are talking about with an A-5 Flatline.

As for long range, yeah it's not that effective for several reasons, most of which have been discussed ad infinitum (A quick search should turn up lots of threads on the subject). However, in all the threads I have ever seen on Flatlines (A-5 or 98C) and Hop-up barrels never once have I seen ANYONE point out that it's simply harder to hit things that are farther away. Sometimes it's not the barrel, it's not the paint, it's not the wind...it's just YOU.
