Get the flatline barrel. I have one for my Tippmann A-5 and I love it.
It adds distance and is really accurate.

I do believe that may be the only draw-back to the flatlines... small paint is usually expensive, medium is somewhat affordable.........
Flatline = Range
J&J/Bigshot = accuarcy
I was gonna get a flatline but decided to get a lapco bigshot!  Then again I heard the goods and bads about the flatlines like forever in the tippmann forums..

I have a flatline for my A-5 I mostly buy Nelson Hot Spot and some RPS Stingers.  I have shot many different varieties of paint, and have yet to break a ball or notice a problem with accuracy.  And the flatline on the 98c just looks bad a**. IMO

k ty for the help. the bigshot barrel sounds nice but id go for distance. and yes i agree, it does look badass!

 

i really love to get my 98 custom to look like the image. maybe slightly different though.

wow first topic ive seen that nobody said apex.

apex is better than flatline in every way but looks. it has a bit of a learning curve but its worth it.

Hmm... well maybe i might start a poll to see what gets more votes. if apex gets more votes i might get it.
