its not hard to install for the a-5, all you have to do is loosen/tighten some screws.

whine whine whine. It only takes just a little bit of work. 5-8 minutes tops, jeez.

I hear from one of my friends that the A-5 Flatline is ALOT better than the m98's since its alot easier to install and actually shorter(I think). Although I havent seen one fired in person, I have seen a m98 flatline fired (correctly) and I must say, quite impressed by the length the ball can fly, but the accuracy isnt as good as a AA/Boomstick/Freak. I'd say go for it if you got the money to blow. Just have a backup just in case its 'one of those days'.

Dont forget to get the right paint too! ;)

if your gonna be playin in tournies, you dont need a flatline, you should be able to either reach the other side of the field or at least come close to it with a regular barrel, so instead of buying the flatline id do what quik sed and buy a AA, a freak, or a boomstick.

the flatline barrel is my favorite part of the tippmann accesories and i give it a ten, the only thing is on the a-5 it looks like a tube, besides that its the best barrel ever made.

and about it being the best barrel ever made... thats completely your opinion...

and as your cockerkiller... if your playing tourneys... like they've already said... you should be able to shoot clean across the field without a flatline... try to arc them a little...
the money you have to shell out for the flatline could be put into something a little more usefull...
