xstkxmutinyx's Review of Tippmann 98 Flatline Barrel

Good Points

Extremely accurate. Because its made of plastic, it's not too heavy, works well without high fps.


Bad Points

Needs pretty good paint, not a good front man gun for speedball but that's not a big deal, 50/50 ball break at around 200ft.


General Comments

I have used a 98 custom for two years, and have had a 14in tippmann progressive for a year and half and I loved my barrel. But when I fired my friend's flatline barrel it killed my gun. I'm a better shot than he is, but at 175ft he was having no problem hitting the target holding his gun straight and I had to arc my shots to even have a chance. When he let me shoot it I knew I had to get one, I recommend that if you buy a flatline that you get an expansion chamber, because when I got mine, my accuracy was consistant at about 10bps as long as I could cope with the kick of the gun. If you prefer sniping and taking your time with each shot it is still a good upgrade but you don't need it. Hope this helped if you are looking to buy one.

    Its Not plastic ! The Flat line Barrel is made of Anodized Aluminum with a special rough surface in the bore to give the ball back spin creating lift.
