I have an A-5 and i wanted a Lapco shroud barrel cover, but i would much rather have a real shroud barrel if it is possible, do you know if there is such a thing? ------------- "Boot em', Shoot em', Eat sleep repeat |

Do you mean a silencer?
If so they are illegal for use on paintball guns. You'll have to pay a $200 stamp tax and fill out some paperwork in order to sue a real silencer.

Get yourself incorperated then jump through some hoops and you can own all sorts of stuff. It it always better to have the privelage of usage without the burden of ownership. ------------- Think and give them all you have from the beginning, and never weaken! |

That's what I love about this country, nothing is illegal if know the right tax to pay. It's all about the money..... then again it is amazing what you can get away with if you just don't advertise.. ------------- Life is Hard..... Even Harder if your Stupid! |

I have had good luck with evil, marbs, and allstars (some people don't like the evils, they worked fine for me though). ------------- Life is Hard..... Even Harder if your Stupid! |

ya but i'm a low income player, i'm just 14, and all those paintballs seem pretty expensive is there a cheaper brand that will shoot at least 1/2 decent? |

I know the flatline is real picky about paint if you want any consistentcy, and if you want to keep the barrel free of breaks, don't use the cheap paint. I don't know if you have a local store that has some open boxes that you can buy a bag of each to do some test shots. We are lucky enough to have a great shop here in town that loves to test out paint and barrels, so he doesn't mind breaking open a box and selling partials. Find a good paint that will give you consistency and accuracy, or find an acceptable medium for you somewhere in the mix. If you err on one side or the other I would err on the side of inconsistency rather than putting up with a broken ball. Train yourself to use come self restraint and don't get to trigger happy. That way you can afford to shoot a more expensive paint. Rocket man and I play different styles, I am more conservative, (cause I am cheap), but he likes to chase you down with a good stream of paint. (Was that a cheap shot? Sorry RocketMan!) He also has dropped some coin to test out several different brands to see the best going through the flatline. Mind you a different combination of paint and bps will cause paint to act different, so it will be a matter of trail and error. Also, what may be acceptable to one person may not be to another. I know I didn't help about a brand, but I don't shoot my flatline as much. I like mine nice and quiet, close range sure kills. Keeps everyone on edge! I even make a piant choice by good color as well as quality to keep my position hidden. Good luck with your testing!
