if u play woods, then get the flatline. But i would also recamend the j&j ceramic and Lapco bigshot. They are cheap and very good barrels! good luck! ------------- i hate paintball |

I found the J&J for like $35 on some mail order site
on the net... I think maybe 888paintball.com possibly.... I don't remember.... search around EDIT: btw, I use a Flatline and a J&J. The flatline gives really good distance, but isn't the most accurate barrel I've shot. I got the J&J mostly for when I play speed... -------------

I'd get two barrels. For woodsball get the flatline. For speedball get a Lapco bigshot or a j&j ceramic barrel. ------------- Avoid shooting at birds, squirrels, rabbits, etc. or PETA members will try to ban paintball forever!

I wouldnt pay $150 for a bent tube but thats what christmas and birthdays are for!! but for us in the woods the flatline is not very good up close. you already got a progressive which is good. i suggest a J&J ceramic. -------------

The flatline is great in that there is a greater distance and it shoots almost perfectly flat. Most accuracy problems come from the barrel being screwed in too far to the left or right. It may be a pain at first but its well worth it. I like the 2 barrel set up of a jj ceramic and flatline, good combo. I play w/ a flatline and a 03 PMI RAzzor[hey, i had no clue what i was doing when i bought it] |
