I have a model 98 and a 98 custom right now... They have done me well... I'm thinking about getting one more paintball set, and then I'm just going to try and maintain what I have. Here's what I'm looking at Marker: Custom pro e Hopper: A hopper that can hit 15 bps.... I was looking at the halo backman, but I don't think it can hit 15bps.... Remote: 32 degrees coiled remote with slide check Air Source- Nitro Duck 90ci 4500 psi x-stream tank.. (The one i'm buying for my 98 custom) Barrel- I'm a little unsure right now.... I was thinking about buying another flatline, and a J and J ceramic 14 inch as my super back up... But I'm open.. If you don't recommend a flatline, I would like to find a barrel (possibly a kit if it's not over 100$) that shoots paintballs near (or farther while keeping accuracy) the length of a flatline.
That is what I'm looking at now... Any feedback is appreciated. |

| I'd look into getting the Evolution II (hopper). They can feed up to 19 bps, realisticly more like 17 though. And I'd take a look into the BT Apex (barrel). They have the great range the Flatlines are known for, but without the sacrafice in accuracy or certain paint usage. |

I have no experience with the Evolution II, but I will agree with SuzukiRider about the BT Apex. When I finally got a taste of the BT Apex barrel from a friend who loaned it to me, I got hooked. Much better than my Flatline. Like SuzukiRider stated "They have the great range the Flatlines are known for, but without the sacrifice in accuracy or certain paint usage."  ------------- A5 Rfs Dwg triggr Ricochet R5 8"Lapco Bigsht/14"CP Classic Palmers Stab.

Thanks.. I think I'm going to go with that hopper. Do you know how many rounds it holds? I've already experienced the apex though... I didn't like it... I thought the flatline was bad when it came to sound, but the apex sounds like a magnum. The ability to determine your projection isn't to my liking either.. It's not a bad barrel, but it's not my type. |

The Egg2 will hold at least 200. I would suggest a Lapco Bigshot for your barrel, its louder than most(not as loud as the Flatline) but it work well with your speedball type marker. |
