Product Description
This is a brand new Tippmann 98 Flatline Barrel! Introducing the Flatline Barrel System made exclusively for the 98 Custom/Model 98/A-5. The Flatline Barrel System is the first production back spin barrel ever produced. The principle behind the system is Tippmann's newly designed slightly curved barrel, which applies centrifugal force to the ball, creating backspin. Not only does this system offer increased accuracy and distance but also offers flat trajectory for thick brush and canopy play. By minimizing trajectory of the ball and increasing accuracy, you increase the amount of targets which would ordinarily be out of range. WE ARE AN AUTHORIZED TTIPPMANN PAINTBALL DEALER!!!

So far so good December 30, 2007
Initial installation was frustrating. After figuring it out, I installed it "my way" and it was straightforward. Have only tried it once so far. Must adjust velocity! Seems to work but may need a tweek.
 This thing works July 16, 2007
It is a little more time to install than a screw barrel, but once you got it it is good. There is an alan bolt at the base of the barrel that stops it from "just popping out" you just need to tighten it up. The balls do look like they are flying in slomotion because of the extra spin the barrell puts on them but trust me they are not. How straight they fly and how well they break depends on the paint you run through your marker.(cheep V.S not-so-cheep)or try turning up your marker.
No doubt about it it improves accuracy and distance, if you install it correctly (Which is not that hard)and it adds a nice look to your marker.
awsome May 14, 2007

Sure the flatline does improve the distance IF you install it correctly. PROBLEMS WILL OCCUR if it is not. Such as accuracy, distance, and velocity. The paintball most likely will curve right or down. This cuts down on the dictance dramatically. Also, the velocity is greatly affected. I was testing the gun by shooting at a tree 6-7 yards away and sometimes the paintballs would just bounce off the tree(if I actually hit the tree due to the curving there was some degree of difficulty at first). I then put the standard barrel on and the paintballs were more accurate and much faster. The speed of a flatline is like watching a slow motion of a standard berrel, so if you do get this gun crank up your velocity and make sure the breel is lined up coreectly,because this is not a screw in barrel. The barrel is just inserted. There is nothing to keep it from coming out or going out of line.
