I have a 98 custom and I'm wondering weather to get a Flatline or an All American. I play woodsball and like to sneak around and hit people with one well placed shot.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Flatlines are for distance, not one shot accuracy. Go for the AA.

Flatlines are great for woodsball because the have no arc and are actually rally accurate.

Flatty = distance

AA = all other categories

I have an AA and I love it so accurate but I am actually thinking about buying a flatline now. I just play too  much woodsball and the flatline would give me a nice advantage.

Accuracy, sound, looks... a lot more. Anyway...I would say go for the AA. If your looking for a 1 shot kill then the AA is your best bet.

So...you like being close enough to get shot when you take your shot?  I love long balling.  I use the flatline and love every inch of it.

Yeah, for woodsball, there's really no beating the flatline for distance.  With other barrels, you have to arc the gun to get the same distance and that doesn't work very well with all the branches and leaves in the way.

ive got both of these barrels and i personally am using the aa right now (its a ten inch) its nice and small and it makes muy gun alot shorter. flatline give you more distance obviously when they are installed correctly but i'd say save some money and buy an aa. aa is really accurate and tight. this is great if you like to get right up in the action and you are a leader for your team. the flatline seems to fit more of a back player who never gets anyone out but brags that they have a flatline and can shoot far. they dont usually get out but they dont add as much to the team as someone who is right in the fray. flatlines will turn you into a less agressive player and thats certainly not what i want.

and now ive run out of the house... naked... somehow

AA = perfect for one shot accuracy, especially with the 98 custom. It's an excellent barrel. I recommend 12"

Here is a picture of my 98 w/ AA barrel.

I like to hit them on the first an only shot so I don't give away my position. The farther away from the enemy I can do that the better.

Thanks
