    Posted: 19 June 2004 at 10:12pm

I just got a flatline barrel for my 98 Custom and i was wondering what balls worked well for it?

Also the barrels can move a little if its not tightened and i was wondering if it had to be perfectly aligned to work correctly?

Thanx

umm, first thing i would like to say is that careful of people that will flame you about searching and all.

also, small caliber paint such as marbalizers or the better diablos should work great.

and yes it is better to have it perfectly aligned

also, welcome to the forums!

if you call tippmann they will say to use MARBALIZERS........just wondering but since tippmann makes "werks" paintballs shouldnt they be the best for the flatline? you would think they would make them specificaly for the flatline

Marballizers do work good for the flatline. They may be a little more expensive though. For your flatline it would help the accuracy if every thing was aligned real good.

how did you know he was new?  naw im just kidding. to tell you the truth, marbs, fule, and all the expensive stuff is the best but all paintballs will work. thats a big myth about the sport is that cheap paint breaks in barrels easyer.

   Yes, small bore paintballs are the best for flatline. I find that draxxus
are very good with flatlines.

I tried evil the other day and it worked great in my flatline. I usually use marbs but I think the evil worked better. I've also had good results with team colors, midnight, and blaze. Any of those should work well for you. PMI premium works pretty well too if it's easier for you to find that.

Ok, well, the best thing, is search for small bore sized paint

You can find that out here

And if the barrel is a little bit loose, use some teflon tape, and wrap it around the threads of your barrel...and that should do it.
