first id get the flatline if u have 119 bucks...its awesome...if not getr urself a J&J 14 inch ceramic...(trust me the 1st thing u want gone one ur tippy is the stock barrel.) Now, if ur playin woodsball id get the stock...its good for crawling and sniping, but if ur playin in competitions or at a local paintball feild, u want a drop forward instead of the stock...it all depends...but get a new barrel first off |

yea the number one upgrade is a barrel , if you play woods get the flatline if not get a j&j or lapco bigshot. Next i wood get a eletric hopper and maybe a r/t. If you play woods you should think about a remote to lighten your gun. hope this helped -------------

i agree, but if you absolutely must get some upgrade for your gun, then longer barrels are good for distance, on picking those buggers off that don't like to move away from there little hideouts. ------------- They say an Eye for an Eye, We both loose our sight - Two Wrongs don't make a right.

Here's what you do. Get a Lapco Bigshot anywhere from 12"-14"
long. Anything over that is total overkill and might actually
decrease the range and accuracy of your shot. All you need to do
is get a barrel to start.

dude don't listen to these newbies, you need a flatline it puts a backspin on the ball making it where it can't go anywhere but straight, and it adds about 100ft. to your range. ------------- I am the man if you want to bring it bring it, I'd advise eating you're wheaties first though.

if you had a 12inch or 14 inch you would have wished that you would have never boughten a 21 inch. |

dude there are so many barrels that are more accurate than the flatline at closer ranges. |

Flatline is the best barrel for Tippman 98c or A5. If you can't afford it then get second best JJ... I would suggest you ask around and find someone who owns a Tippman with a flatty. I've shot a few 98c's with them and they are great... that's why my A5 does the job. Put the after market crap on non-Tippman. ------------- Xs.
