Putting 500 into a Tippmann is borderline retarted...unless you really like Tippmann.

Remember, flatline doesn't shoot fast. You don't want r/t or switch your Ebolt to f/a with flatline. I personally don't like the r/t to begin with..

I agree with tippmann89c, don't get an R/T and don't sink 500 dollars into a tippmann, just get another gun.

Stainless steel remotes? Ugh! The spiraled ones work better (move easier). The things you need the most aren't on your list. I'd highly suggest a Palmer Stabilizer (or expansion chamber) before getting the R/T or E-bolt. You've got the barrel sizes down, now pick what kind. You'll prolly want to figure out what kind of fast hopper. Check out Halo's or the Empire Reloader. Get a Flatline for the woodsball gun, and only get a 14" barrel for the speedball gun. That'll save you money. I'd skip the R/T because some fields don't allow them for tourneys, and go ahead and get the E-bolt for both. I'd also get the BSI E-bolt not the GTA E-bolt. You wouldn't really need a double trigger for the E-bolts also. I'm not sure what you mean by barrel adapter, but I'm guessing you meant Drop Forwards? Oh or you mean like what I've got- xxx thread to Tippy Thread.

What do you mean a flatline doesn't shoot fast.

I'm very disappointed in you considering you own one.

A flatline is perfectly capable of shooting full auto. No matter how fast your shooting you only have 1 ball in the barrel.

i dont know what youre talking about. i can rip 15 bps out of my flatline with no problem and no breaks. ive seen people go full atuto with e grips and their flatlines as well. plus tippmann proved using chronographs at separate distances apart that the flatline actually maintains it speed longer than a ball fired out of a normal barrel. the flatlines velocity dimished far less than the straight barrels. so dont believe the anti flatline myths, theyre just made by people who got owned by one or who have never fired one.

Actually no it's definitly not.

NEways, for the woodsball one i recomend the flatline barrel for the best range and accuracy, I recomend the R/T over the E-Bolt unless you really are going to utilize all those modes of fire, and a stock-preferably the collapsible one made by tippmann since it has 3 modes, and an electric hopper.

For speedball/tourny the boomstick 14" and going HPA with a LPK.

Those will probably total out to over 500 bucks so just remove things that you don't like for your playing style.

I need to find smaller pictures for my profile.

personally, i'd just sell one guy, and use the money to mod out one.  you can always interchange peices (barrels/hoppers) and stuff to fit your playing style for that day.  I don't imagine you'd be playing woodsball and be like Oh, I think I'm going to play speedball now... and waltz over and play a different style of game.  Seriously, get the E-bolt, low pressure kit, flatline AND whatever barrel you want for speedball, and a good hopper.  but it's your gun really, and to make it really yours, you have to decide what goes into it and what doesn't.

I mean seriously, am I wrong for thinking it really isn't that big of a pain in the ass to switch out a barrel?
