I know the flatline barrel system shoots further, but is it accurate?
Compare its accuracy to another gun.

Is the flatline barrel accurate??

According to tippmann, the flatline offers a 6" group compared to a 16" group, with a stock barrel at 50ft
At 75ft, accuracy is increased from a 24" pattern to a 14" pattern.
Now, that's taken straight out form one of their adverts! I dunno if this is true in practice coz i've never shot one! Hope this helps.

The backspin a flatline puts on the ball means it travels further and you can apparently group shots better at longer ranges...
...however think about what would happen if you haven't got the marker held exactly vertical. The backspinning ball will have a distinct tendency to want to veer off sideways
IMHO She'll be great at long range when you have a chance to calmly aim but not so hot for panicky close-in work or snap-shooting when you don't have the time to worry about what angle your markers at when you're frantically pulling the trigger
As to accuracy therefore... depends how you're using it (sorry I can't give a more definitive answer)
the bad thing is if you are playing speedball the backspin will cause the ball to fly in the direction that the gun is tilted. So dont try coming out a bunker sideways.
