Scopes have something called relief. Your eye needs to be a certain distance from the scope in order to look through it. Most scopes aren't useable on paintball markers due to the mask. It puts your eyes too far from the scope making them useless. Unless you have a long eye relief scope, a red dot or a super tight fitting mask. Scopes are very hard to use.
I might get the flatline barrel for my 98 custom. I haven't played paintball in about 2 years so I wanna get some stuff for my gun for when I start playing more often
@punchmaster123 im not using my flatline at the moment. were do you live? you can perhaps purchase mine if it fits your c98. Else I would recommend to buy the new Apex.
idk why people say the flatline sucks!! i love mine! i got the mp5 style one and it rocks. i test in my backyard and its WUNDERBAR. i messed with the FPS a little and wow. i used to just get 50ft and the ball would go all over the damn place. now i can shoot very accurately at 150ft. the ball will go to 200ft-230 but at that point the ball will go all over the place. also should i get the resonse trigger with the flatline? i heard it chops alot of paint?
@gettavid didn't... i got the premium paint the use at the field I was Playing at... Painball assylum. but I'm selling my a5's and getting a7's i can use my M4 attachments on it
@films897 > I personally use Draxxx Blaze. But you should always roll some balls throughout the barrel to see how it fits. if the ball is a bit "too small" it gets the backspin easier and shoots more accurate.
@pepepopola i heard you shouldnt use co2 with the flatline barrel. maybe thats your problem? please correct me if im wrong. i just bought one of these barrels on ebay and it should be here by the end of the week. so far it looks good from what i hear about it.
@cadw600 i did used Co2 but I have an spansion chamber... i switched to air and thta's when i started braking paint... even at 85fps... i'm deployed rigth now so i guess it be a lil bit b4 i can try something else like upgrating the internals and the cyclone feed
@Tangler90 Change O-rings and lube em up a bit. also Check that it doesn't leak air. Use a cigarette and blow smoke around the critical points while shooting onces. Can be helpful, or use your eye to sence air leaks.
@DarkegoMB My friend got one A5 with Apex. Think it's the same feel to it, difference would be that apex can curve balls to take out bunkers easier. Flatline trajectory is more flat.
Big Con is if you get a ball-pop in your barrel. Then you can't hit anything closer than 5m until you have cleaned it. Which is a lot of work, taking it apart is required.

ahaha, can actually see the balls hitting in this vid! very accurate! can't say the same for mine...

@Tangler90 Check your fps and ball-fitting is good? It usually comes down to consistent air-output gets better accuracy.
