Well I just went out to buy a Flatline but i changed my mind. I know I put i have one but its just because I am going to get one but only after I get some help on one little thing... I need a new mask(price doesnt really matter under 100) so if you could list some that you think are good thanks a bunch(too many problems with getting fogged up so have to wipe it off every 5 minutes) and if you know of any I would really appreciate anything else that has to do with upgrades for my A-5. ------------- Tippmann A-5, Remote System, just got my flatline b*atch! *Soon to have pic* |

V-force masks are just about the best ones out there for the money. Not to expensive and the lenses are easy to clean and/or replace. ------------- Model 98 Armson barrel Flatline barrel 47psi/3k HPA 20oz CO2 Tippman expansion chamber |

I think the profiler runs about $80. I own the lower priced model and have no complaints. ------------- Model 98 Armson barrel Flatline barrel 47psi/3k HPA 20oz CO2 Tippman expansion chamber |

Oh and by the way, when I get my flatline what would be a good paint to run through it, dont wanna use some crappy stuff thats gonna decrease my accuracy.(or mess with my gun) ------------- Tippmann A-5, Remote System, just got my flatline b*atch! *Soon to have pic* |

| The V-Force does not use a Thermal Lens. The design of the mask prevents the fogging. Mine has fogged once, but it was playing in an Indoor Non-A/C'd field with high heat and very high humidity. Never fogged again. |

PMI Premiums and RPS Marballizers are the best paint fer the Flatline....no chop and breaks. ------------- Do not steal....the government hates competition!

I have tryed on almost every mask out there, and played in a game with a lot of them. It is safe to say I like my v-force profiler more than anything else out there. Also I would use evils for the flatline. |

I have heard nothing but good comments about the V-Force Profiler , I play with a JT mask (thermal lense) and for the money , $45.00 , its a Great mask !! it may be a proteus also , but I am not sure .. AS FAR AS THE FLATLINE , do your homework ,it will not have one foot more effective range than any aftermarket barrel out there , PM me and I will explain why this is true , but here's the opening comments to it,, All paintballs leave the barrel with the same Velocity , assuming you are on a field where chrono is used , friction of a ball passing thru the air slows the ball down , no matter what the spin on the ball is . Newtons law says gravity and friction will affect any moving object ,including paintballs .Paintballs need a certain amount of velocity to break upon impact with a target , this is called impact energy , impact energy from a flatline at 150 feet will be equal to impact energy from any other barrel at the same velocity at 150 feet . the flatter trajectory that a flatline has ,is from the aerodynamics of the backspin it induces on the ball as it is shot , it shoots flatter, not farther.. your impact energy will not be improved by a flatline ,,, think about it,, ------------- SL68-II , micro honed and polished .688" bore .

GET THE DYE INIVISION, THEN BUY A FAN FOR IT. THE BEST MASK. PERIOD. WHATS SO GOOD ABOUT THE EGRIP?? THE FACT THAT MY A5 SHOOTS 15 BPS WITHOUT BREAKING PAINT. IF YOUR GONNA BE A SNIPER IN WOODBALL, I WOULD GET THE CAR STOCK AND REMOTE LINE. I  MINE. GET MARBALIZER PAINT. ITS EXPENSIVE BUT IT IS THE BEST. I HEARD TO CLEAN OUT YOUR BARREL IN THE MIDDLE OF A GAME YOU PUT COTTON BALLS IN A BAG OF ALCOHOL AND WHEN YOU BREAK A BALL YOU EMPTY THE HOPPER AND CYCLONE AND LOAD THE COTTON BALLS AND SHOOT A COUPLE OFF. THIS IS WHAT IVE HEARD BUT HAVENT TRIED PERSONALLY. BUT YOU SHOULDNT HAFTA WORRY. THE A5 HARDLY EVER BREAKS A BALL.------------- I'm going to the darkside... |
