A-5 Flatline vs 98 Flatline

[Dr.Bong 4:20]

The A-5 flatline is a great barrel, but the 98 flatline is better because it is 5-6" longer and the barrel ported, thus is shots farther and more accurate. My a-5 flatline shots 220-225 feet straight with marbelizer. (how far do your a-5s shoot?) Tippmann guarantees 100ft more than the stock barrel so thatd be 250ft, 25 feet short. and no the barrel is not warn,Fps is 270-280. My friend has a 98 flatline and it shoots in excess of 250ft. How far dose the 98 flatline go for those of you 98er's and is it more accurate?:confused:

[MGS ACE]

i dont like either of them becaues i get alot of chopped balls.

[Drew anteater17]

when you are taking about distance are you arcking you shots or level:crazy:

personaly every A-5 flatline I have shot has significantly outperformed any 98 flatlines but an A-5 flatline whith porting would probably shoot farther the best part of those barrels is how the balls tend to spin off brush

[Uber_Mike]

Go with an APEX
Their said to be better.

[Dr.Bong 4:20]

i was talking about level shoting. How far does your a-5 flatline shoot?:crazy:

[IronCorps]

The Apex has basically pwnd the hell out of the flatline, they're dated technology now. But for the record, the two flatlines should perform the same.

[Dr.Bong 4:20]

I have seen the Apex with a m4 barrel setup it looks sick. it costs like 120$ though:eek:

[StrikerMuncher]

Scale of one to ten, 1 being the lowest:

0.1 - Apex
8 - 98 Flatline with a little love
9.5 - A5 Flatline

[Dr.Bong 4:20]

whats wrong with the apex?:confused:

[Sgt Quackers]

the apex is not as good as the flatline. The apex tech is just a copy that changes one little thing. Go with the tried and true Flatline

[Dr.Bong 4:20]

I have one for my a-5:P

I own both a A-5 flatline and a 98 flatline and I notice that the A-5 is a little better with range and accuracy. Not alot better but just a little. The apex is a piece of crap for noobs. Every person I have ever talked to said they never use the curving to shoot around bunkers. BT just stole the flatline concept and added the bull**** "it shoots around bunkers" thing so they wont get sued. If you are shooting at a guy behind a tree, you are not going to just move the slide once and hit the guy like in the ads. You would have to sit there for a few minuets before you get it right. By then the guy will realize what is happening and leave the bunker.

A friend of mine had the flatline for the 98, he hated it because he had to adjust it during play, he sold it for $20 to get rid of it and moved onto an the BT apex that looks like an AK, so far he is still learning how to use it. I'm using the A-5 flatline and had no problems yet, except for 2 chops when I used PMI premium paint. From my experience, A-5 flatline is far better.

[Dr.Bong 4:20]

How far in terms of feet do your flatlines shoot?:confused:

[ivanquan]

I have no idea, ive never really measured my shots... i do know they are much further than standard barrels.

[ICU117]

My Apex goes atleast 75 feet farther at maximum setting :eek:

[Dr.Bong 4:20]

75ft farther than what?

[straw]

both barrels are great and better than other barrels i would have to say that the 98-f is a little bit better if it is set up properly but both barrels are great

[rawker]

the paint in flatline goes farther then normal barrels, but it slows down so much you could catch the ball at max distance.
