Has anyone ever "Barrel tipped" a flatine? (As in putting a little piece on the end for looks?)

Yeah, why would someone do that? The barrel already looks pretty mean because of its fat sleeve. There are different sleeves for it though...

It seems that not answering a question is a common thing around here.  I would do it because I feel that it would improve the look.  Now my question remains on my first post.

No, no one has ever done that.

Do not speak of this matter again.

I have not seen it done, and it is probably very hard or impossible to do. I have however seen different shrouds. Check out www.specialopspaintball.com www.opsgear.com  and www.undergroundmodshop.com for some shrouds.

It was a really short PVC thing tha tlooked like a silencer on the end of a 98c Flatty. The tip was open though...

I thought my question was clear enough that I haven't seen such a thing or have done it myself. Anyways, what kind of design would you want on it. Maybe a cool anno job on the tip with flames would be neat.

Nothing fancy on "design" it depends what kind of look I would be going for and in this case that would be a C7 (sorry to the American's that's pretty much a fully metal M16).  So instead of having the big, bulky Flatline as the "barrel" it would become the handgaurd and the barrel would be in front of it.

at ops gear they have a  7/8 inch Barrel M4 Muzzle Break that they say fits the flatline...and i think it might be relative to wut ur lookin for.
