Get a shield or pro-vantage. They'll cost about 30-35 and never fog. Also very comfy.

| You can find that at any paintball store and they will all cost the same. You could find them at a d.i.c.k.s, Dunham's, or maybe even a walmart. They are pretty common. |

| Look around. I'm sure you are completely capable of finding one. If you can't, you can find anything on the internet. They will have it at a proshop or a store specifically for paintball. |

| Bigball as in the paint? No, I wouldn't advise using bigball. PMI premiums are much better. |

how much are pmi premiums??? they work better in flatlines?? ------------- new A-5 user |

I have heard that bigball isn't a very good brand to use in flatlines. A flatline is small to medium bore paint. Here is a chart that shows what bore size all the brands of paint are. Refer to this, and you will have a good match. http://www.ottersccustoms.com/paintc.html - http://www.ottersccustoms.com/paintc.html You can buy about 2000 pmi premiums for about $47. If that is a little pricey, buy another paint with small to medium bore. |

it says that pmi premiums are the same size as bigball. It also says that zap rec series the stuff I'm using rite now is smaller than either of those or even marballizers ------------- new A-5 user |

| Zap will work just fine in a flatline. People say you need to buy the more pricey stuff but as long as the bore size is correct, your paint will work well in your barrel. |

wow, this topic went from masks to flatty paint. I would suggest a V-Force Armour Mask. As for the flatty paint problem rossy is right. Even the Zap Rec series will work ok in the flatty. Any small paint is good. The advantages to zap is that its cheap and pretty good in the flatty, which kinda makes up for the inconsistency. (you can shoot more cause it costs less) I have a red dot on my gun and can outshoot any of my teammates with my flatty using zap. btw they have 14 inch progressives and were using pmi premiums. ------------- The Tippmann Forums.....My Anti-Drug. -98Custom -Flatline -6-Position Collapsible Stock -32 Degrees Remote Hose -Crossman Red Dot |

Profiler runs about 80 bucks
Flex 7's were about 60-70 (last time I checked) Proteus runs about 70 now (I think) I have a Proteus and I love it. as to the paint question. I was only able to shoot Marbalizers when I had a flatline. And that's expensive stuff. If you wanna do everything cheap get a Lapco Bigshot barrel www.countypaintball.com - here it shoots lare boare paint without much problems, You may also want to check out the J&J Ceramic barrel. I have one for my Ion and it is a really great barrel. Later -------------

Get a v-force I had a shield and now bought a profiler and have not had a single problem with fogging and while wearing the profiler you can barely feel it on your face. -------------
