Explain to me what other barrel reaches 100 feet straight out, without pretending to be field artillery??? As for the wind effects, try this correlation... The longer the ball is in the air, the more prone it is to wind effects. Obviously, the flatline is more prone to wind since it travels a heck of a lot farther and is in the air longer.
I disagree about the rapid fire issue from another post. Try the same test with your marker bolted to a stand. Now test the accuracy with a low and a high ROF.
As for your choice of barrels, I would still go with the flatline. I use it in both speedball and woodsball. The flat trajectory is the key for speedball. You can actually aim without arc.
The only drawback to a flatline is the noise. When you shoot the flatline (at least the A5 version), EVERYONE on the field will know where you are to some degree. It's extremely loud and metallic sounding. Of course, if you play it right, that can work to your advantage.
