idk. Do a test. Set the gun on a rest and fire like 20 shots at a target without moving the gun, count the number of shots that hit, then do the same with the other barrel.

accurate? the Armson barrel. but the flatline will have more range.

Now I just came across another barrel that is rifled also. 

http://www.hammerheadpaintball.com/barrels.html

you get the barrel and you can put them on as many guns as you like. just need to get different (fins)

thinking about getting one for my A5......when I have some money

1 case of paint=$50

i have both, i origanaly used the armson in a spyder cause it had about the same thread and it was 50$, and i bought a 98c and i had to get an A-5 to 98 thread adapter but i never found it, so i eventually bought the A-5 stealth kit and i took the flatline out and saw that there isn't any threading in the gun, it only came with the flatline adapter built in so i have to find the A-5 thread adapter to put into the gun in order to use the armson barrel. would anyone know where to find an adapter like that

Rifled barrels dont work people....even if they did sucessfully get the ball to spin, it would be the same spin as a curveball in baseball, and that doesnt fly straight does it?
