I have owned and used flatline barrels on several of my guns over the years. My first was for my model 98 when they first developed the system. I was impressed with the first one and haven't lost that with all off the newer versions.

You have the advantage on the field of a further reach with your paintballs. In woodsball they have almost become the standard to level the playing field. The A5 flatline was a great inprovement over the one for the 98. It was easier to install and was compact. The X7 version is sturdy, easy to install and looks really cool as well.

One warning though. You must use paint that is in good shape. Don't try last years paint out of the closet. If your paint is misshapen or dimpled, use a straight barrel. The paint needs to take the stress of rolling down this barrel to gather it's back spin. This is stressfull to the paint shell and old paint will bust. All Flatlines are harder to clean after a break so use good paint.

I'm a woodsball player, I own two A5's and I can't stand markers that require batteries. After 4 years of playing with a5's I got the x7, this barrel is a necessity. I played with a friend with a stock x7, and my flatline left him in the dust. (we were both shooting air and using the same paint). I also like the fact it's shorter than the a5 flatline. My first day playing with it, not only did I not break one ball (I used a whole case that day), every shot was on target. This barrel is well worth the hefty price, you will be hitting people from very far distances.

I got two of this item shortly after we got our X-7's. We installed it on my son's. We went out to the field and played all day. The difference was amazing. It shoots straighter and further. As soon as we got home I put it on mine. I would strongly recommend this item. We did not have any paint break in his gun. And the marker looks much better with it!

Awesome barrel, dialed down to around 265 fps, and I get a very noticeable improvement in range and accuracy!

This barrel is amazing, easy to install, looks great, and gives about 150feet of range!!!!, package came very quick and well sealed, i recommend this barrel to anyone who wants to pop someone from a good comfortable distance....

I've had several equipment techs take a look at this, but it continues to break paintballs - not all of them, but so many that it is useless. Once the barrel has paint in it, there is no hope of hitting your target. Doesn't matter which brand of paintball - they all break. Now I've heard from several people in the business that this is usual for this barrel and they do not recommend it. Wish I had known before.

I have had wonderful experiences with all Tippmann items......until now.

Putting this add-on on my X7 Phenon had the same effect as aiming point-blank at the ground. Totally not what I expected.

Don't waste your money

if you want to be the first to hit somebody get this Item, belive me it make a big difference when you go to paint war.....

the Flatline barrel is one of the three key parts that will make the X7 a speedball marker, its excellent and wonderful. Right now its my marker of choice when it comes to speedball 3-man or 5-man format.

I could not believe how much it extended the range of my X7. Works very well.
