Re: the flatline's accuracy.

From my experience with the flatline, you don't get good accuracy. I have never been impressed with it and would never own one. Sure you can shoot twice as far but you cant hit anything and its not going to break so whats the point? Even close range the Flatline sucks for accuracy. Just my opinion.

Re: the flatline's accuracy.

I wouldn't worry to much about range. Accuracy is more important. I use a good barrel kit and have gone up against guys with Flatlines, I was able to hit them way farther than they could hit me. And if they did hit me at range it was pure luck.

If you want range, get a good barrel (CP, J&J, Lapco, or a barrel kit) and then get an Apex adapter and put an Apex on the barrel. That way you get the accuracy when you need it, and the trick shots when you need them.

Re: the flatline's accuracy.

I have no experience with Trinity barrels, so I'll leave that to someone that has. All of the barrels I listed I have used, and are good inexpensive barrels

Re: the flatline's accuracy.

My flatline works fine its all about the paint you use, The flatline is extremely picky on paint.

Re: the flatline's accuracy.

if you want any kind of accuracy, you don't want a flatline.

Exactly. The flatline when properly tuned and using the right paint can be nice, but it's not a 1 shot kill kind of barrel
