if you play woods all the time i would go with the flatline , if not i would look into a different barrel. -------------

Well, what type of paintball do you want to play (woodsball or speedball)? ------------- NASA and the Americans spent millions of dollars and hundreds of hours to develop a pen that would write in space.....The Russians used a pencil. |

flatline is pretty much for woods only but a A-5 with - drop(small)/ onoff/ AA-freak-CP-some other nice barrel- and e-grip with R5 hopper that is the best speedball and you can add a WAS board ------------- SP Vision Imp w/ ALL NDZ internals, CP flame drop w/ on/off, Freak-AA tip, lowrise feedneck, NDZ Pro-Mag trigger, tapeworm, NDZ lpr cap, NDZ ti. bolt pin, maybe thats it?

Since you'll be playing in the woods, I'd say get the Flatline, but get an r/t rather than an e-grip. The e-grip is more susceptible to weather/wear and tear than the r/t is, so the woods is not exactly the best place to use it. ------------- Zerglet. |

Number 1 no matter what you play don't get a flatline the accuracy is junk. I've had a flatline on a 98 and A-5. Get a kit of some sort, Pipe and empire are nice and possibly the freak. Number 2: If you play woods and never/very rarely play speedball or never think about getting into turneys get the RT instead of an e-grip, Number 3: Get an air tank and a reg, get a decent or good reg though. There you are set now. ------------- Please for the love of god don't get a flatline. |

Freaks are overrated. If you really don't care how much you spend, I advocate buying a better gun over uprading the A-5. |

a-5, r/t, apex, and hpa or palmers. Sights of your choice, and any preference upgrades like a different hopper etc. you may also want to get a straight barrel like a lapco bigshot for when you play forward, but the apex has good accuracy when used as a standard straight barrel anyways. ------------- Tippmann A-5 Polished Internals E-Grip Ape Board JCS Blade Trigger QEV 8" Bigshot + Apex Ricochet R-5 / Tac Cap Palmers Stabilizer 68/4500 Crossfire |
