I am somwhat new to the sport of paintballing and i am looking to Upgrade My barrel.JJ Ceramic Barrel Vs Bt Apex Vs Flatline. If theres any other barrels that might be better tell me too . But just Give me your thoughts and opinoins on which one you think that i should get or is best for me. Oh yeah i play mostly woodsball too.
For the best answers, search on this site shorturl.im/awlrZ Flatline is sort of a gimmick. Adds a little distance. The barrel has a sort of bend in it (if you take it out of the large shroud, you'd see it); when a paintball passes the bend, it creates a spin on the ball, giving it a velocity boost. Boost in velocity translates into a boost in range, but the added range reduces accuracy. Can't really justify the cost of the barrel because of it. I'd go with the JJ Ceramic. Cheaper but well-made, and less bulky than a Flatline. Coupled with some quality, fresh paint, and you'll notice good accuracy.
THe jj ceramic barrel is good because it is ceramic and that is the same material that toilets and sinks are made of and it is very smooth and is easy to clean and accuracy is widely based on how clean your barrel is. clean barrelbetter accuracy. The apex is based on the flatline and it was made by one of the guys who helped make the flatline so in a sense you could say that it is an upgraded version of the flatline. although the apex has those neat trick shots the flatlines range or accuracy might be better but will not be able to do these trick shots as well if it can do them at all. plus the apex can go an apex adapter which is made for almost all guns while flatline is only for timmpmanns. although flatlines are only for tippmanns they are definately reliable and perform great. their range is phenomenal but their accuracy is only slightly better than most barrels so if u want range go for this. So if you have a tippman go for either apex or flatline as both will work great for tippmann. if you have a gun that is not tipmann and you dont see yourself needing or useing the trick shots te apex barrel gives you then go for jj cause they are for accuracy, not range and as longe as you kepp them clean they will perform as good as any other barrel out there.
