The 98c FL doesnt perform better than the A5 FL, cus theyre both the same type of barrel, one is jus longer than the other and vice versa.... |

I have....and yes its true, they both perform in the same way and like I said before the only difference between the 2 is the shroud and how they are intsalled.

what? the A-5 flatline shoots the same exact length as the 98 custom one. The extra length doesn't make it shoot any farther, thats been proven with every other barrrel also. And have you even shot both? |

the 98 flatline is much more effective then the A-5 flatline. it is 14 inches which is the most effective length for a barrel. so if u want range. stay with 98 |

i would say if you want to get rid of that plastic shroud, get this: http://www.tippmann.com/accessories/proshop/special.asp this is just a metal shroud. it would be all metal so there you go. i havent owned either flatline. i hear its good and have some friends who have them. they say they're really good. i would just get the metal shroud for your 98 flatline. |

The A5 Flatline is basically a 98c Flatline barrel, but an inch shorter, as fer performance, accuracy and the paintballs to use to get the best results, theyre both the same and the only difference between the two is the shroud and the installation process.

i like it but only for woodsball if i'm playing speedball (why i would play speed ball with my A-5 over my Autococker i dont know) i use a diff barrel because its hard to stay tight into your bunker with that thing but its nice for the woods. you know defend the fort. i sit up in a tower and pick them peeps off

Would u rather have something that looks good or something that helps your gun more. Ne ways i love the flatline, the range is awesome and accuracy is good too, i have no grudges with the flatline so far. |

I have a flatline and it is a myth about the ball floating. And even if it does float its comming at you a 280 fps. You can't move that fast. |

I never used the 98c flatline but i have used the a-5 flatline and i love it. and i have never had a barrel break in over 15 cases of paint, and i have run some prity cheep walmart paint through it. its more keeping the marker upright that most players forget to do but with the more compact hopper on the a-5 its not as much of a problem. you see on most top fed markers the hopper will stick way out and give you away. with the a-5 the hopper is lower than a head sighting on it so you dont have to worry. on top of all that the a-5 flatline just looks realy cool, and is made of better materials. |

Negative. Its an optical illusion, same as if you stood on a racetrack and a car drove past you, it would appear to be going very fast, but as it got farther away, it would appear to slow down. Same principle. As for people dodging long range flatline shots, well if they have more time to see it coming, they have more time to dodge dont they? Lets move this to Upgrades where it should have been posted in the first place. Edited by Enos Shenk |
