| I play woodsball, so the flatline. The flatter trajectory is wicked. |

| I love my Boomstick, and Ceramics are really nice, but if you play woods, the Flatline is ultimate. |

if you play speedball i would get a dyeboomstick but if you playwoodball i would recamend getting a flatline for one it add on a 100ft it is very accurate if people say it is inaccurate it because they put in on wrong but the reason the flatline barrel is not good for speedball it to big way to highprofile an its not good for closer that 40 or less because the ball is still traveling up ------------- http://www.imageshack.us">

My two suggestions would be either the Lapco Bigshot
or the Flatline. I have shot both, and it is up to you and your
price range to make the decision.

| Personally on your 98 i would go with a Freak junior kit,it works well all around,is versatile and is a system you can grow with when you upgrade to a better marker(the insert and barrel front will be compatibale with any other freak barrel system back for another marker)hope this helps. |

Go for a Bigshot in the woods. Flatlines are overrated.
Dye Boomsticks are sweet barrels also you can get them off the internet for cheaper than in say a sporting goods outlet. I would definately sport a Bigshot before the flatline though. ------------- 98C 8 inch Lapco Bigshot GTA Expansion Chamber RT Trigger Collapsable Stock Hose-Co2-Quad Harness I shoot Marbs/JT elites |

| get a J&J for speedball, or woodsball if you're hesitant. the flatline's flat trajectory is wicked. only problem with the flatline is that its what some people say, "high maintenance" such as keeping an eye for what paint to use. check the stikies (if they're still there) to see all the facts about the flatline. if not then go with the J&J 12inch(it self cleans!) |

For woods definately get a flatline If you play mostly speed and some woods, the freak barrel is pretty accurate (i have personal experience with it) and depending on how much ur budjet is, a Boomstick or a lapco bigshot |

I use Evil paint and have fooled around with the thing for quite sometime but still havent been able to get it right. i plan on gettin rid of mine and gettin something else. im not dissin the flatline, some people have great luck with it, and some just dont ------------- Shoot first ask questions later |

ok so anyone who says its not accurate just put it on wrong huh??? ive shot several guns with flatlines and did a lot of research cuz i almost bought one for my a5. they are really picky with paint. what i mean by that is that since it puts backspin on the balls its really easy for the wind to catch the smallest dimple in the shell and send it way off course. it doesnt matter what kind of paintball u play it will be just as accurate in the woods as it will at the 50. i like smart parts barrels (progressive, teardrop, all-american, freak) but dye barrels are great too. ------------- Rockin' the Ironman Intimidator.
