It's been ready on multiple occasions. The whole leaking gas through foregrip thing has it shelved right now. Don't think I'll have time to get it going for this weekend. But I'm on an E-Mag kick anyway.

Those poor poor people....


Anyways, good points Fox. Patron do you have your Z-mag ready? Can't wait to see it in action.

What in the world is a stick trigger finger?

I'm concerned "typical paintball ranges" are 10 to 30 ft.

Why would you need a flatline at this range? At 10 feet I can hit the fleas of a dogs nose with my stock minimag barrel?

there is also a practical issue. anything over 100 feet and you can hear and see a ball coming and move. I have never seen someone able to really use the extra range you get with a flatline. by the time the ball gets there, the target moved 3 times.

Move three times in the 1/2 secound it takes the paintball to travel 100 feet. Only in the Matrix buddy

By the way I still have your emag and your clasic rt

But I can move once in the .16 seconds it takes for a paintball to travel 30 ft. I didn't tell you I was The One?

Yeah. It's probably more of an "It just seemed that way" situation. But people do dodge paint on 3 man air ball fields, which end to end aren't very long.

And at 250 ft.! You can shoot at me all day at 250 ft. You hear that Fox!? All day

[El Fox!?]

Is your back to me?

[Patron God of Pirates]

LOL.... Yes. That, and I'll look suspiciously like Gary. But don't let that stop you. Keep shooting no matter what I say.

[El Fox!?]

Alright, gotcha. I can do that!

[Natray]

Would you two mind if I got that on video?

have you owned a flatline before?

if there was the slighest crosswind at the point where the backspin would create 'lift' then that ball was gone.

Sorry, dont call BS unless you know what you are talking about.

[El Fox!?]

Have I owned one before? I thought it was clear that I do and it is what I used. Seeing as I have never seen my ball "float" away nor has any other Tippmann user that I know or have spoken to hasn't either I will continue to speak about what I "know" pertaining to my flatline.

Flatlines are ugly and hype... my z-bodies backspin worked great when it did but it usually didnt so i just removed it and just had a nice body that took cocker barrels.

[El Fox!?]

...Ok?

[ERut]

From what I've seen the increased range isn't effective because the balls are not going fast enough to break. They just kind of float down.

[El Fox!?]

I addressed that with my myth post, but that happens when the person is simply too fat away (we are talking 250+ feet)I'll give you an example of what you are talking about and that person thinking the same thing. Basicaly, one of the people we were playing last weekend was taking his shots at me. I stepped out from cover letting him shoot at me. His balls were harmlessly falling at my feet and one bounced off my shoulder. I lifted, aimed---spat! I was too far away for him, while on the other hand he was well with in my clutches. You can be over zealous because it does shoot so very far. Farther then most people can grasp if they havent seen it. But the non breaking point I would guess is 220+ plus feet. It can to depend on the ball it's self. The first week I had it I was shooting marbs. A few times I hit people and they didnt break. But that was easily 250 feet ( and even in terrible wind. Which does affect it, however they don't float away unless you coat them with flubber ) Last weekend I used evil and all my shots that I actualy did hit from great distances broke. No one ever claimed it to be an all weather barrel. However, reaching out and touching someone from an absurd distance (for paintball) is always fun.

another thing w/ the flatline that i've noticed, is yes, the range of level flight is longer, but the effective range is still the same cause they seem to just hover and you can dodge them, or they have not velocity to break. another thing about the flatline, is if there is any wind at all, even a slight breez, they seem to take off and will go every which way, most of the time curving up.
