flatline?good decision?

i play woodsball, and recently bought a flatline for my 98 custom. but now im not so sure it was a good thing to add to my gun, do they really make a big difefrence for woodsball? and is there somehting out there that might be better?

It wasnt a good idea for the 98 cause youll just chop(break balls in the barrel or chamber of the marker.)balls quite a bit. Two ways to get rid of this problem are 1. buy really hard shelled paint. or 2. Get rid of the flatline and byu a dye ultralight barrel for your marker instead. And yes it is an improvement over the stock barrel in terms of range. The curve in the barrel puts backspin on the ball as it leaves the barrel whick is supposed to make the ball fly further.

(I've never been bunkered by a girl, heck ive never been bunkered.)

it's was a good decision, but you may want to look into getting a
expansion cghamber or remote line to add consistancy and accuracy,
then it'll be SWEET. it seems like a let down when you first buy it, but get
one or both of those, and you'll be happy person. and it doesn't lob em,
it's called a FLATline barrel

Its ok for woods ball but its not great. It will only add distance not accuracy to your shots. The FL barrel is not very accurate. Also the FL barrel can be finiky and pickey. You have to use small bore paint or you'll have problems with chopping and barrel breaks. Also you have to make sure the barrel is prefectly aligned or it will cause barrel breaks. IMO im not crazy of the FL barrel and unless you really want distance it's not worth the money.

i have one for my a-5 and its great. it doesnt chop like crazy like some of you say and it's pretty dang accurate (with the right paint). and the distance it adds is incredible.

I really dont like the flatline.  My buddy let me use the flatline on my gun and i think my 14'' progressive rifled barrel works nicer for me when i play woodsball.  Also, get a 14'' barrel (doesnt really matter what brand but try to get a progressive or 32 degrees).  Some people say 14'' barrels hit trees and bushes alot, but mine is still in like-new condition.  Hope this helps.

yea , im testin it out tomarrow.  so il let u guyz know how it works out.i think my biggest problem was that the barrel wasnt perfectly straight. putting the FL on my gun was a mission. i had a hard time with it. but now its fixed and straight so i should be ok. but thats true about the paint, i switched and tried diablo balls, and had way less barrel breaks.

well... i took the flatline off. it does work only and only when it is on straight, but its a hassel to worry about fixing al the time.so i switched over to the 16" tippman barrel. so im happy with it and its working much better now.

If you play woodsball thats the only barrel you need trust me, ive been taken out many times by them when I wasn't even close to reaching the person shooting at me. Just make sure its installed right and an x chamber will help.

 I have a FL on my 98 an its awesome. I've played woodsball and speed ball and its great for both. I've nailed guys with high markers like a Karnivor off the break on a 225 ft. hyperball field in the mask, this thing kicks, plus I can out shoot my 98 and still not break paint or chop. It really helps in woodsball too.
