I've got a custom 20th anniversary edition, and i was thinking, if i want to be as close to a sniper i can be, what is the best? A flatline barrel??? or should  get a sniper barrel of 16 inches? longer?

A longer sniping barrel needs something to be changed in my gun or a special something on my air(co2) supply???

Help me get the longer, precise(i mean a good grouping) shots i deserve as a sharpshooter!!!

 

Please respond to me at zee_kav@hotmail.com because i'm not sure I'll see it if you post it on the forum!!!

As I said in your other thread...

It's amazing how far the flatline will shoot the ball, but often it curves. I you don't mind having to shoot 3-8 balls to hit your target, the Flatline isn't a bad choice.

The Lapco Bigshot shoots as far as any ordinary barrel would, but the accuracy is amazing. You can hit anything within range with just 1-2 shots. One time when I was just test firing my gun, it took me 2 shots to get a ball through a 2" gap between the limbs of a tree, and I was even using bad paint.

Whenever I play, I use my Bigshot over my Flatline.


The length of the barrel means nothing. It doesn't make the paintball shoot farther, shorter, more accurate, less accurate.

give me a 20th anniversary gun and you'll get to see an ebolted one.


anyway... i'd go with a 14 inch cp barrel... you won't get as much distance as you would with a flatline, but it's one of the best barrels out there for the money.

Sniper....lawl

Go with a 14" Bigshot. You will not be dissappointed.
