I would go with the r/t. Personally I don't like the flatline...it shoots far but it isn't very accurate. Definitly go with the r/t.

I recommend the DYE barrels....they are expensive but very good. http://www.xpaintball.com/a5barrels.html - http://www.xpaintball.com/a5barrels.html has a lot of barrels for the A-5.

no the flatline isent realy all that bad in tearms of accuracy and if you play in the woods you cant beet it. but if your a speed baller who plays anything but the back position i wouldent recomend it. If you play mostly woods go for the flatty then an egrip or r/t. i love my flatline but i still take it off for speed ball.

when the fllatline is fed the right paint, its your best friend. everyone recomends small bore paint such as evil, marbs, or all-stars. their is a sticky around here explaining why the flatline seems innacurate, but it really is a pretty accurate barrel.

ill try to explain why it seems innacurate.

if your standing within a line of 2 targets, one is 70 feet away, the other is 130 feet away. if your shot goes about a foot to the right of the target 70 feet away, then it will be around 4 feet away from the 130 target (the numbers arent real, just used as examples)
but im not saying the ball is curving, though.

I used it for woods ball and still didn't like it. It wouldn't always bust. And when I shot from far away it went so slow that it looked like the opposing player could catch the ball and when it did hit it didn't bust.

I like J&J more, they just have a better feel in my opinion. It my just by how I shoot or my style but I'm more accurate with them than dyes.

Just wait for a little longer and get more money. Then buy the flatline and the r/t. The flatline is awesome for woods ball, just takes a little getting used too to be accurate.
