So I'm leaving my spyder forever. Its very nice to know my gun won't chop and won't jam and will shoot consistantly without breaking and busting o-rings... I do like my new 98, and I want to start by getting a double trigger and a flatline barrel. Is a flatline worth the money?or should I just get a longer jt or something like that? people with experience please reply. I think the double trigger will help me shoot faster, I know I could go the ways of response trigger, but that seems like it's gonna be one more thing to break and be a problem. Later I was thinking remote and a stock. ------------- 98 Custom |

Welcome to the forums paintballen. You stick around and you'll learn a lot a from the guys around here. Anyway, in answer to your query, oh and btw, "So I'm leaving my spyder forever. Its very nice to know my gun won't chop and won't jam and will shoot consistantly without breaking and busting o-rings".  Good for you!
Flatlines? Can't say much about it except, maybe it would be wise not to go there just yet. Many of us are going to mention two barrels. Tried and true barrels that will do the job, look sweet, and won't send you to poorville. J&J Ceramic and LAPCO Bigshot. I have a J&J 14" that I used for 6 years. It's a great barrel and it being ceramic, if you suffer a barrel break or other form of paint mishap in your firing system you can shoot it clean. Hooyah. LAPCO? Great barrel that I've fired, but not owned, so I'll let someone else have that one. The double trigger will help you're RoF immensely since you have no RT or E-grip. I used it on my old rig back in Florida, but now I have the RT and have had np's yet. Even if I do have some though, I know that I'll get the proper support I need from TIPPMANN. You've got a great marker man and don't let people tell you otherwise. If they do, make sure they're on the other team.  ------------- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCZWhJCF6Ig">

The Flatline is great for distance, but the conditions and paint need to be right. I would recommend a 12-14" JJ Ceramic. It's a great barrel for the price, shoots well with a variety of paint, and shoots through breaks like a champ. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.)

j&j, rt/etrigger, cyclone feed... good to go rt is easy to install... you just need a hole punch and the ability to read instructions... or have someone who can.... judging by your being able to type i think you can read... so youll be fine... |

Check out the Lapco bigshot on http://www.countysports.com - www.countysports.com its a decent price, wonderful barrel, and to make it so that if you break a ball and want to shoot the crap out, just pour some rain-x down it and put a towel or somekind of cloth through it and swing it around till it is dry, NO this does not affect accuarcy AT ALL, because I have done it myself and have noticed no difference. EDIT** You can get a remote line, and probably get a combat vest from http://www.opsgear.com - www.opsgear.com , I love their MOLLE vests, I have one with my tank on my back and 2 pod packs in the front. This may be something you would want to consider for both speedball and woodsball alike. Simply because it makes everything easier to get to and balances out the weight.
