The barrel cover is a cheap plastic so you cant be to rough with it. Once it is set up though it looks pretty neat. The range with this barrel is double what the stock barrel is, but the accuracy is really bad. You never know which direction the paintball is going to go comeing from this. The barrel also chops quite a bit. I took it back and got the Tippmann Sniper barrel 14". I highly recommend getting that one over this.

A great barrel if your gameplay features a lot of sniping. The Flatline puts backspin on the ball to make it fly on a flat trajectory instead of have to "lob" the ball at your target. This is advantageous if there is thick brush and you have to shoot through a small opening between branches or your target is very far away. While balls appear as if they are moving slower than with a normal barrel, it is an illusion created by the flat trajectory. The only drawback was that I had some trouble installing the barrel because my case did not close after installing the sheath but a quick shipment to Tippmann and no more problems. (in future repairs I just forced it and it locked in place) Highly reccomended.

A friend of mine recommended this to me, this has been the best upgrade for my 98 Custom!!!It has added that extra distance that I always wanted. The hardest part is getting your 98 Custom adjusted to the Flatline, and the price$$$luckily I got it on sale for [$]. I would recommend this upgrade to any 98 Custom owner.
