dye is a little better than the jj, but for the cost, i would go for the jj. flatlines are great in woods, you really get the advantage of shooting farther. they are really accurate too. i wouldnt recomend the 98c flatline because its real complicated, but the a-5 flatline is nice and simple. so depending on the gun you have i would get the jj or the flatline. |

I just think the flatline is to much, is it really worth 120$ heck you may as well get the e-grip or a new gun ------------- 98 Custom 14-inch Teardrop Barrel Double Trigger Quantum Electric Hopper: lol A-5 14 inch Werks barrel Double Trigger R-5 Hopper Shocktech Drop Forward |

The JJ is has superior performance for its considerably low price, it does not perform as well as a boom stick or a flatline. The Boomstick is unqeustionably the most accurate of the three barrels, but its price tag of $120-$160 is prohibitive. The Flatline is cheaper than the Boomstick and better performance than the J&J, but it is also not cheap ($105). It's primary advantage is range, but it also is fairly accurate. The A5 Flatline has a superior design to the Model 98 Flatline. The Flatline also requires a little more knowledge to use correctly. Many players who lack such knowledge dislike the Flatline because they have never been taught how to properly use one. ------------- "If you make it idiot proof, they'll make a better idiot." http://www.tippmann.com/players/forum/wwf77a/forum_posts.asp?TID=125287&PN=1&TPN=1 - REQUIRED READING |
