Truthfully, you have a pretty nice set up. Go get some field time with it and than see what upgrades you think you need.

I agree with OPBN, you've got yourself a nice setup to start out with. I've never been a huge fan of the Flatline, so the only thing I
would upgrade would be to a 12-14" JJ Ceramic. Nice buy though. |

^^^^ How many times do you need to ask this question Standup? You already have a thread on this in U&C. I will restate for you. There is not significant difference between 12 and 14". It is strictly a matter of cosmetic taste.

Well Im trying to not make a mistake and buy a barrel then regret buying a different size. I was hoping that somebody has tried both and has some statistics on distance and accuracy between the barrels. I have seen some posts that impress me with the direct facts of questions with proof. Im just surprised that nobody has done this. for example: chrono'd with a 12" then a 14". Thats what my question is and has been.

Standup: There is NO difference in distance/accuracy/velocity between a 12" and a 14" barrel. Some people like a longer barrel to wrap around
bunkers while other like to keep a shorter set-up. That's all there is to it. |

It is not a valid question/comparison. Any velocity difference between the barrels could be compensated for by turning up the velocity of the marker. (Up to a maximum of 300 fps.) Any efficiency difference would be unimportant because of the way the velocity adjuster on the A5 works. (Altering air flow as opposed to air volume.) |

You also don't have to hijack threads to ask the same question that you have already asked and had answered in another forum. If you are agonizing over a $30 decision concerning paintball equipment, you have a long road ahead of you my friend. |
