first you need a new barrel..regardless of whether you play woods or speedball. there are lots of answers to which ones are good on the forum...just look around. I suggest the j&j ceramic. thats what i got, and i love it. there are lots of other choices out there tho. Also, id go with double trigger. when you get a double trigger youre going to need an electronic hopper. id go with the empire relaoder. it wrks great. after those upgrades, youl have a faster fire rate and better accuracy. those mods together will cost around 100 dollars. there are others i got like an x-chamber, a drop forward and rocket cock. you can look into those too. |

the Flatline is awesome stay with that. Get the 2x trigger too its great. You may want a response trigger if you want to really unload on your targets. But, If you want it to be tourny legal you'll have to get the ebolt which features more modes of fire but a slower bps on auto. You wil lalso need an x-chamber. the Dead on 8-Stage X-Core is best and only $20. With that you'll also need a vertical adapter and a new, smaller hose. Those new ones may be alittle over 10 but you can just ditch the double trigger unless you reallyl ike how they feel.

I went out yesterday paintballing with my new setup. It worked great for jsut about everything. I've got the 98c with flatline, retractible carbine stock, and remote hose. I prefer woodsball, or urban combat sim, and it was briliant for that. In woodsball, I could fire with much better distance than anyone out there, and the flat trajectory of the balls meant I could shoot under the tree canopy. The remote line lightned the gun considerably, and was generally convenient. The stock was bloody useful too- it's much easier to shoot accurately with it. You can close the stock up for moving, then whip it out when it comes time for long range shooting; it takes no time at all. I also have an electronic red-dot sight, but ended up never using it- utterly useless. It's a very long setup, and relatively heavy, but the weight shouldn't really be an issue regardless. Size could potentially be a problem in Speedball, but I didn't find it to be. The one hitch I did find was that, in Urbanball, sometimes I'd come across an enemy that was hidden in a doorway, or whatever, and have to desperately fire off shots behind me as I booked it for cover. The easiest way to do that is stick the gun straight back, but half the time t ends up upside-down, and won't feed. I want to pick up a Q-Loader though, which should remedy that. A nice thing about my setup is it looks bloody good. If you care what your setup looks like, this is a nice way to go- I was decked out in my latest Canadian camo (great stuff, BTW), and carrying what was, in effect, a milsim marker. There was a good intimidation factor working in my advantage. I also bought a used vert adapter and expansion chamber for $30 Canadian- great deal. Although with the remote hose it seems redundant, I was shooting out CO2 crystals sometimes, usually after a fresh tank fill, so the chamber's going in. As they said, your priorit should be barrel first. Then stock, if you want one- and I reccomend it. Try it at the store for comfort, though, first. Third, a remote hose. After that, you can tailor it to your style. If you shoot fast, an RT or E-grip, along with a new feed system (I've heard good things about the Q-Loader, and intend to get one.) After that, if you can still afford it, do whatever the hell you want to it, as you won't be meeting much resistance in the woods anymore. |
