I just returned the flatline I bought last night, I was so excited to finnaly have one, but alas it was not meant to be.

I don't know if it has anything to do with the fact that my 98c is nearly seven years old or not, but the clamp that screws into where the barrel goes doesn't fit. So I will have to find a somthing else. :<

No, no, thats not what I meant, I mean that it is to short, it screws in just fine but by the time it tightens ( like you screw in a normal barrel) the part where you put the screw in to clamp down the barrel is off to the side.

Don't bother, it's a flatline, don't waste your time your money or brain cells over it. I've got two I'm trying to get the hell rid of and I can't becuase they are *bad* The accuracy sucks, and the range is a joke.

Flatline's are fine... I have yet to have accuracy problems with mine. At ranges that the JJ can go they do about the same as JJ.... If you're expecting it to be accurate after it flies over 100 yards... you're very stupid.

Meh, yay for people with 66 Mustangs who don't know how to polish or wax. Anyway, Flatlines are very good. I can't go back to regular barrels because I'm so used to the flat trajectory and distance. You get hooked :-P Curve Balls are fun to do with it too once you master them.

His comment was in no way directed towards you, so why did you feel the need to insult his Mustang? Not to mention that your opinion doesn't count on this forum.

Agreed... range kills every other barrel out there, the apex comes close.. but dosen't beat it, and the accuracy is fine...people expect it to be very good at long ranges.. it isn't, thing about it, it's a ball, it hits wind resistance, and more resistance as it travels farther, therefore it will not be DEAD ON. Same with all other barrels atsept they can't shoot as far. Flatline = Great for supression fire.

Owned.

And flatlines are rather nifty things. If you want to get rid of yours I'll gladly take it off your hands.

Mine was like that too, but I took a wrench and got it in just fine.

You're thinking of Rambino, chief.

EDIT:  I don't care if I've been beaten.  I'm better.

Sounds like someone's jealous he doesn't have the braincells to use a Flatty.

Really? Didn't know that my opinon "didn't count" on this forum. I have a very deep hate for Tehgangster. And why insult his mustang? I hate people who show off thing's that just aren't good. Until about.. two days ago, I was never mean to the 'lil punk, but I got fed up with him geing such an *edit* to me on about every thread. Then people here get annoyed because I'm being mean back to him? Wow....special. And Ragriz have you  EVER fired a flatline? I'm assumeing you haven't since you call it a "gimmick"... do you really not see the massive amount of added distance while useing the Flatline? I have never heard someone say such crap about the Flatline. I can compare it to any gun on the field I play at, none of them shoot as far as mine. (None of them have Flatline.. a few have Apex barrels)
