THE FLAT LINE IS NOT A GOOD BARRELSSSSSSSS

What do you want out of it? Would you rather have distance? accuracy? a tad of both?

RoboCop is right the flatline is not for accuracy.

You have to be so precise when installing that barrel or your balls will hook to one side or the other.

Chances or if they are that far away there will be lots of trees in the way for a clean shot.

i have a flatline but i usually use a lapco bigshot w/ a tippmann adapter, way better accuracy and almost the same distance

flatline = patience, trial and error, lots of money on different paints, lots of trips to a chrono, overall PIA until its fine tuned in your gun

traditional barrels = a more of a plug and play experience

overall unless your willing to do the testing and fine tuning of a flatline your better off with a more standard barrel, my flatline was an excuse to play a lot of paintball though to get it right  not sure if she really understood my logic on that one though hehehe

flatlines are great, theres just some additional steps to deal with, mainly its no fun getting it perfect and then you have to break the marker down for something internal, thats always fun getting that barrel back in the same spot, also makes the overall gun longer so your sort of forced to have to buy a small rifle bag as a typical paintball bag may not always work assuming you can take your barrel off easily and make the gun a very small footprint

all in all dont get the flatline unless your prepared to do what needs to be done to make the most of it

The accuracy is definitely better with the bigshot but you have to be on crack to think that it shoots as far a flatline. The flatline outranges a standard barrel by quite a bit.

Lol, take it easy, wasn't meant as an insult. I meant that jokingly but it's sometimes hard to tell that through the internet. I very rarely insult people on here because I think it's lame to fight over the internet. Anyways, I apologize for the misunderstanding.
