Product Description:
The Tippmann Flatline Barrel System puts backspin on the ball, which allows for up to 100 feet of increased distance, while still maintaining breaks on impact.The Flatline Technology produces a level and accurate shot which carries 50% farther than traditional barrels. By minimizing the trajectory of the ball and increasing accuracy, the player will increase the amount of targets, which would ordinarily be out of range. Kit Includes -Barrel -Barrel Shroud -Adapter -Kit comes fully assembledNOTE: Because barrels differ only in threads, a single image may be used for multiple barrel thread types. The threads pictured may differ from the actual threads of the barrel. Please order according to the product description, and not by the image of the threads. If you are unsure what type of threading your gun requires, please call us before ordering.

Worth It by Mark E. Mueller
If your into Scenario games, get this barrel. Increased range, and , most importantly, accuracy get bolted on in about 5 minutes. It only takes a couple shots to get used to the rise of the ball from the curved barrel, and once you got that, 9 out of 10 times your target is painted. Just remember that this isn’t a speed ball barrel (or gun) because it is a big cannon looking barrel. It’s completely worth the price.

okay by elf
It is hard to get used to the paintball dropping then rising, but it greatly increases the distance the paintball travels.

Con: Be ready to buy a more expensive grade of paint (marballizer etc.) The cheap paintballs will break in the barrel.

overall it is a great product

Barrel get the Babes! by E. Foley
This barrel absolutley rocks!! Not only does it nail everyone withing 100 yards but it attracts the groupie babes like a magnet. I’m going to buy 10 of these barrels tomorrow!

Increased range ! by sandman
The Flatline barrel lives up to it’s claim of increasing range, no other barrel system can come close to matching the distance. However, the flatline does have some quirks. First, high quality, small diameter paint must be used for the barrel to work best, as a gap between the paintball and the barrel is needed to create the backspin. The barrel must be cleaned often for best performance, as the gelatin from the paintball will build up in the barrel which decreases the amount of backspin, thus decreasing range. The barrel accuracy is also affected by things such as high wind, moisture in the air, and the angle the barrel is held. If the marker is tip sideways at an angle, the paintball will hook, so with practice you can actually get your balls to hook around bunkers at a certain range, which really surprises your opponents. It makes a great addition to your A-5.
