I have the Flatline and im not that impressed. Shall i keep it and get it professionally installed? What is more accurate (don't care that much about noise): the Lapco BigShot, J&J Ceramic or DYE Excel?

I would keep the flatline and get it professionally installed. If you still don't like it get a Lapco Bigshot.

keep the flatline, but dont waste money having it professionally installed. do it yourself, its easy. as for the boomstick, dont buy it, save the 105$ and put it towards a Freak. and i had a bigshot also, but wasnt too impressed witht the accuracy.

yeah the all american is a really good barrel. its accurate, not too long, quiet, and gives you good range.

some helpfull thought's

A paintball does not care what barrel it came from or how slippery the inside of the barrel was after it has left the gun. Accuracy is affected mainly by what happens to the ball AFTER IT HAS LEFT THE GUN. If the ball has paint on it or is dirty, the paint will alter the flight of the ball due to irregularities in the flow of air over the surface of the ball. If wind pushes on the ball, it forces it off course and it won’t go where you thought it would. If the seam is not formed well, or the balls fill is of lightweight nature, the air will not flow evenly over the ball and it will go off course.

Here is a list of possible factors (in no particular order) that will affect your accuracy:

Velocity too high ( over 280 can cause curving)
Paint in the barrel
Dirt in the barrel
Oil in the barrel (after lubing gun)
Dirty paintballs
paintball seconds
Cracked paintball
Uneven fill mixture (old paint)
oversized paintballs
Wind
Humidity
Barrel bore too tight
Bent barrel
