first off welcome to the forum.

im personaly not a big fan of the flatline. and the 22" barrel is just going to get in your way. id go 14" J&J barrel or a BT apex barrel.

besides that i think your good.

Tippmann X7,

Decent marker.

Flatline Barrel,

Good barrel, but picky on paint, weather sensitive, and accuracy is gone when paint from a break gets in the barrel.

22" barrel,

Way too long.  The advantage of a longer barrel is quieter shots and the ability to stick it through thick foliage to shoot while firing from relative safety from return fire.  Disadvantages include them being harder to clean breaks out of, harder to move through thick brush with and harder on paint because of increased barrel/paint contact.

If you had asked on the forum first, many people would have recommended a J&J Ceramic or Lapco Bigshot in the 12 or 14 inch lengths.  Don't get me wrong, I like the Flatline (F/L) barrel, I just don't consider it a good barrel for new players.

Laser,

Unless you play indoors you will find the laser to be of limited use.  Most are not bright enough to be seen at any distance in full daylight and many of those that are present a hazard to other player's eyesight.  In conditions where they can be seen they can give your position away.

X36 Stock,

Stocks are a very personal issue; some players like the way they feel and balance out the marker and some don't.  This is definitely something you'll have to try to see if it suits you.

Tactical Bipod,

I consider these to be just extra weight.  As they should be easy to install, you should try playing with it, but don't be surprised if you use it so rarely that you end up removing it.

Ris M4 Barrel,

Barrel, or barrel shroud?  If this came with a barrel shorter than 22" this is the one I would try on the marker first.

G36 Carry handle,

These are also a personal preference issue.  If you decide to keep the stock, you will need it however to raise the red dot high enough to easily use with your mask on.

Red Dot Sight,

I like red dot sights.  It is very nice to be sure that the first shot from an ambush will result in an elimination.  Just keep in mind that paintballs are not really accurate so getting it zeroed in perfectly is very unlikely.  Also realize that due to the arcing trajectory of paintballs fired from most barrels you will have to choose what range to zero it at and adjust the point of aim at different ranges.

Handgrip...

Assuming you mean some type of vertical handgrip, I consider these to be good additions to a marker.  The vertical handgrips provide better leverage for tucking a marker tightly into the shoulder which provides a more stable firing platform.

What do you think it should be better?

Last question,we're a group of italians that lives in Dominican republic,so you can imagine how is hot here,we're having problems with the masks,can u tell me which are goods for high temperatures?

I've had good results with V-Force, but it's not real humid where I am.  You may want to look into anti-fog treatments.  (I've also known people who use a bit of dishsoap or shampoo as an anti-fog treatment.  I suggest an internet search for other possible solutions.)

Thanks a lot,and sorry for my ridicolous english!!!!!

Actually, your English was significantly better than what is used by some of the people on the forum for whom it is supposedly the primary language.



Edited Note:  I suggest reading this post and some of the other "stickied" posts for additional/more in depth information.

Look into an apex barrel and nothing over 14". AS for the masks, your going to have to spend some money and get a good one, not the low priced stuff. I personally have a v-force profiler and never have any problems with fogging up.

sounds good. as per the barrels, you may want to try a 14" whisper. i had one for my 98 and my a5 and never had a problem with either. i use a Scott mask in the summer, with a thermal lens. it never fogs, and i got it for $10
