Hi, I have been using my A-5 with the flatline barrel in tournaments but have been getting hit on the marker, particularly the barrel and hopper quite a bit. although its great to shoot straight i also play forward and maybe dont need the flatline because i am generally pretty close to opponents. Do you think the flatline is competitive in tourny's or would i be better off using the stock 8.5" barrel? i havnt used it before so dont know how it shoot. |

Keep using your flatline. It is probably more accurate than your stock barrel. In the long run I suggesting getting a new barrel like the Bigshot or J&J ceramic. ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

Stick with the Flatty. Try and camp in the back of the field if you keep getting hit. Or, get a JJ or bigshot for $50. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

If you are playing frontman you don't want the flatline because it
dipps down when you shoot it. Also you need to work on your
snapshooting so that you are not to far out of your bunker. Practice
keeping tucked in as much as possible and try to keep your hopper in
more.
