| well it depends on what barrel is the best FOR WHAT. the flatline is one of the best for woodsball and a dye boomstick is one of the best for speedball. there are differnt barrels for different purposes. the flatline is made to add distance during woodsball, and a barrel like the dye boomstick is made to add major accuracy to your shot. so it all depends on what you want to improve and what you classify as the best FOR WHAT. |

| i play in the woods and swamp the flatline is the best all around upgrade i have found yet for my A5 or for my C98 it is accurate and adds distance and does not arch it is more of a straight shot barrel . email me i can get the flatline for 109.99 |

Well from what I have heard they are supposed to be awesome. But from what I have seen is totally diffrent. I have a friend who bought a 14 inch Tippmann Werks barrel and when he went paintballing with it, the first shot he fired broke in the barrel. He had breaks all day with that barrel. I wouldn't get a Tippmann Werks barrel. I would go with a Dye Boomstick or if you are going to spend some money maybe even a Empire Kit or something that is a kit. |

yes, i have a 14 inch JnJ ceramic..thing is a beast. It's very accurate, n it's not 2 bad in the money area. Got mine for $48. The thing is tho when they say self cleaning it's not quite true...if you ahve a ball break (it's happened 2 me twice outa like 10,000 shots) it doesn't clean with the next ball...it takes a few shots n mean while your balls are corck skrewing n it's a pain...but it's an over all great barrel ------------- "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." -Voltaire |
