Hey I was wondering what if I should get a flatline for my 98c. I mostly play woodsball and I'm wondering if it is worth getting. I hear it is not very accurate but has more distance than any other barrel. |

| That depends. Do you like to sit back and "suppress," or do you like to play closer to the front lines? |

It is a good barrel if you want to add distance. Especially in woodsball because it makes the trajectory more straight so you don't have to lob the paint. It is a little picky on paint but read some reviews on http://www.pbreview.com - www.pbreview.com There are a lot of pros and cons to the flatline. Sometimes you just have to make a decision yourself. |

Then the flatline probably isnt for you. I would go for a 12" LAPCO bigshot or a j&j ceramic. or if you have the money get a broomstick |
