Pros: It puts distance on the ball, good idea,
Cons: innaccurate, wind easily blown balls because of the spin put on them, ugly, big, expensive, discrace.
The flatline isn't the worst barrels. It was just another invention that was made wrong.

Flatline owns, It never blows balls or chops or spins or any of that other crap that people say. Only downside is that its heavy (well on the A5). And not just a little heavy, its heavy to the point that it bothers you. Overall thou its a great barrel, has always worked well for me and I like it.
the 98c flatline is also pretty good, cept that its heavy.
Yes, the downside to both is that they are expensive.

Hey, don't complain about weight until you've had to carry around a Browning Auto Five for a full day of rabbit hunting.
Now that is heavy...

pros
Distance
Flat Trajectory (no need to lob)
Improved accuracy over stock barrel
cons
other aftermarket barrels seem to be more accurate
if installed wrong it shoots weird
picky on paint
paint breaks are very very hard to clean on the field
gun must be held somewhat straight when you shoot (no weird shooting angles if your in a tight spot)

If you are a back player then this barrel will be a good choice. You can sit back 65-75 feet out of evreyone's range and still pick people off without cover. To me that is the only use for the barrel.
You do have to keep the gun straight up to stay straight. If you have your gun angled you can get some pretty wicked curves going. Which can be a good thing if you understand how the angel will hook your ball.

I think I can provide the most accurate responce. (BTW Search b4 u ask)
Pros
Only way to increase range
Flat Trajectory
Mostly Range
Cons
A little less accurate then the best barrells.
Puts a curve on the ball at angles
Bottom Line: It is as accurate as others, but increases range like no other.
Most people think it's inaccurate because it goes farther. Any barrell at that distance will be inaccurate. If you play woodsball I say it's a mandetory upgrade.

Pros: convinces long ballers it will improve their game
convinces players they know something more than the pros and tourney players who dont use it
these guys are playing for the other team
Cons: these guys might be on your team

Add this to the pros:
It makes overweight people lose weight when being targeted by a Flatline.

And please engineering wiz, how would you have made it that it would have been far superior?
