It's also nice to not have to arc your balls at all. They travel in a straight line so you just point and shoot. You don't need to think about ball drop.
The biggest problem is you need to use good paint. Cheap paint will get you breaks and a break cripples the gun. So you need to keep that in mind.
I play up front and like to get in close so i don't know alot about back. But when i use my friends gun with the flat line i'm shocked at how much farther and straighter i shoot.

gosh i get tired of this conversation sometimes, as i said above, the flatline, does not add any aditional usable range....your kill zone is not extended if the paint bounces. argue it all you want, physics say "no" so your basically trying to argue against physics. yes the shots are in a straight line but that is not always an advantage, sometimes you need to arc shots over obsticals or down into bunkers where a straight shot will not help, sometimes the oposite is true. you can bunker people reguardless of the barrel you have, and if you can not get breaks on people then people are able to shoot back. it does not have very good accuracy since there is backspin on the paint it is known as "floating" as for the paint to use with it, well something with a thick shell which is gennerally the cheap to mid level stuff, if you shoot higher quality tourny paint that has a thin shell it will blow up in the barrel since it has to go through that S
