couldnt they make a barrel kit for the flatline so it could use more sizes of paint more effectivly .. i know the barrel is curved but maybe instead of it screwing into place it could slide over the attachment and have some sort of clamp to keep it together.  would be nice considering there so picky with there paint.

it's not that hard, just use small or medium bore paint. there's no need to have different barrel sizes.

Thats why the Flatline barrel is "truly unique" compared to all the other barrel systems on the market.

Not all barrels....there is one barrel that can match the same distance as the Flatline, its called the Hop-Up barrel, but its only made fer Armotech or Warsensor markers only.

Having different bore sized flatlines would be stupid. With the flatline, you don't want a good paint/barrel match, you want small paint. Matching the paint and barrel size would make it break all kinds of paint where it starts to curve.

To tell you the truth, I would love to get the Hop-Up barrel, but Warsensor wont create a barrel adapter fer it and since the Hop-Up doesnt have any threads as well and Im pretty sure some Airsmith out there has considered of doin it....I wish it would happen.

The thing with the flatline is that it really is a large bore barrel. But you, as Jeep said, want to use a small bore paint, because that will give it room to spin in the barrel. Weird, eh?
It is the strong that make the weak.

Look up the Warsensor or Armotech webites the Hop-Up barrel is in one those, but like I said its only fer that marker only, you cant use it on any other type of marker.

I found that hop up barrel on warsensor.com

if they made an adapter for a 98c I would prolly buy it

but about flatline paint I just use ZAP tork paintballs I have had 1 break in about 1500 shots and honestly a flatline isnt hard to clean if you play w/o the shroud on
The difference between the possible and impossible is determination.

The paint I tend to use is PMI/RPS. It has never failed me yet and haven't once broken a ball in the FL.
