Pros: It puts distance on the ball, good idea, Cons: innaccurate, wind easily blown balls because of the spin put on them, ugly, big, expensive, discrace. The flatline isn't the worst barrels. It was just another invention that was made wrong. -------------

Flatline owns, It never blows balls or chops or spins or any of that other crap that people say. Only downside is that its heavy (well on the A5). And not just a little heavy, its heavy to the point that it bothers you. Overall thou its a great barrel, has always worked well for me and I like it. the 98c flatline is also pretty good, cept that its heavy. Yes, the downside to both is that they are expensive. ------------- So, What button draws my gun? Oh we dont get guns, were ninjas, we get "zappers" Wtfs a zapper? Why did we choose ninjas if we dont get guns? Because everyones afraid of ninjas, even black people. |

Hey, don't complain about weight until you've had to carry around a Browning Auto Five for a full day of rabbit hunting. Now that is heavy... ------------- Most importantly - People suck. |

pros Distance Flat Trajectory (no need to lob) Improved accuracy over stock barrel cons other aftermarket barrels seem to be more accurate if installed wrong it shoots weird picky on paint paint breaks are very very hard to clean on the field gun must be held somewhat straight when you shoot (no weird shooting angles if your in a tight spot) |

If you are a back player then this barrel will be a good choice. You can sit back 65-75 feet out of evreyone's range and still pick people off without cover. To me that is the only use for the barrel.
You do have to keep the gun straight up to stay straight. If you have your gun angled you can get some pretty wicked curves going. Which can be a good thing if you understand how the angel will hook your ball. eric ------------- 98C LAPCO Bigshot Rocket Cock Double Trigger Red Dot RT XCore Regulator |

I think I can provide the most accurate responce. (BTW Search b4 u ask) Pros Only way to increase range Flat Trajectory Mostly Range Cons A little less accurate then the best barrells. Puts a curve on the ball at angles Bottom Line: It is as accurate as others, but increases range like no other. Most people think it's inaccurate because it goes farther. Any barrell at that distance will be inaccurate. If you play woodsball I say it's a mandetory upgrade. -------------
