| Hi and welcome to the forum. I like your sig. and avatar. If you are planning to play any front positions in woods or any speedball I would go with the J&J. You also may want to shop around for other barrels you have enough for a Flatline. |

I would go with the J&J, Lapco Bigshot, All American, Freak Barrel, or the Dye Boomstick. All great barrels. (The last three are probably a little better than the first two.) |

J&J Ceramic. I own one, it pwns. I've never used a flatline, but I don't really like the idea of it. I don't need extra distance. -------------

the flatline is pretty much a money pit. it costs $150, and you have to use expensive top quality paint or its worthless. to me, its not worth the extra money for just the extra range. even though i have it, i have a J&J Ceramic too, which requires very little if any precauions. -------------

| Flatline if you got an A-5, J&J if you got a 98. |

Go for the flatline (if you got the a-5)and go for a boomstick or lapco (or j&j)if 98c I have the flatline and love the extra distance i get everytime i shoot. Plus if you don't use big freaken paint don't worry about it.the flatline will shoot any paint that's 68. ------------- Tippmann A-5 flatline barrel 20oz c02 E-Z sling O-D green weaver mount 30mm red dot sight all black swat suit G3 German .308 20 round mag R-5 hopper Co2 tank cover Co2 tank butt stock |

| Get the J&J. It's really cheap but still very good. |

The flatline is excellent once you get your velocity set right. A good regulator helps with this, and will improve your flatline's performance drastically. Smaller paint helps, but any medium bore paint will shoot well too. With a properly set velocity and a clean barrel, you'll be making spectacularly long ranges shots- eliminations at two hudnred feet and greater are not unknown with a tuned flatline. I won't promise hits like that of course, but the barrel IS capable of doing it. I suppose the most vital thing for the really long range shots, and very accurate mid range ones is your air supply. A regulated flatline is absolutely devastating. ------------- "Abortion is not "choice" in America.
