50 yds is very doable with an A-5 and a flatline.  The flatline is a bit of a double edged sword.  Ya, it goes far...  The trajectory takes some getting used to though.

 :rolleyes:

Well I already explained why that claim is BS.  I guess a Tipmann and a Flatline somehow are not effected by those pesky laws of physics.  Explain to me how this magical barrel makes paint fly farther????   Like I said velocity is the only way to get more distance, and if your shooting at > 300fps, you would get chewed out and kicked off of any field I've ever played at.  I don't know what you mean about trajectory either, trajectory has nothing to do with range or accuracy.   I can change the trajectory of any gun... ... it's called point it higher.  :aok

I'm sure someone with more knowledge with ballistics would back me up here.   A .68 caliber, liquid filled ball, with a seam around it, and a muzzle velocity of < 300fps @150ft.  Like I said before that adds up to is a flight time of nearly a full second, and groupings of about 6ft if your lucky. 

I'd feel pretty dang confident behind a bunker, or sprinting @ 50yds with those facts.

Yes i do play paintball and i didnt say I was a sniper with 100% accuracy at that range..I said it was possible.

Yeah like I said, it could have happened.  Maybe a lucky shot while just lobbing paint once or twice.  But he was suggesting he could "pick people off" at will at that distance, I think that's an exaggeration.

I'm sorry, I dont get it. if its based on an honor system why not run around the woods with cap guns? (like I did as a kid). Why would you spend a bunch of money on something that doesnt give you any feedback as to whether or not you actually hit something. I must be missing something here.
It's just like dodgeball. You don't just look at eachother and say 'you're out', but there's no binding thing like paint to keep you honest.
Once you need some mechanism to keep people honest it's not worth it anymore.
The lack of paint also keeps airsoft from going competitive, which is nice.
It IS cheaper, too.


My Dragon was 250 bucks, my 1911 was $105, and the other was $160! Low quality my butt dude  :rofl :rofl :rofl
That just means you're a terrible shopper. A Chinese gun for over $150? :rofl

To my knowledge the flatline barrel puts a backspin on the ball that makes the ball curve upwards when it starts to lose velocity and drop making it fly farther.  It dosnt make it any faster, it just makes it go a little farther.  I would feel pretty confident at those ranges too but I have seen it happen.  And yes the flight time is pretty long and anyone paying attention could most likely see it coming and simply step out of the way but it is possible.
