This thing is supposed to be the most accurate gun ever (says the company selling it) so i wanted some insight. I currently am using a c98 with a flatline. I just want to most accurate thing i can have, but from what people tell me, barrels don't really affect accuracy and neither do their sizes. I also was told that the flatline is no more accurate than any other barrel, it just keeps the ball up in the trajectory longer. can these be confirmed? along with a review? thanks.

PS: don't click for pricing :P

Correct, flatline doesn't actually increase accuracy. In fact, in many instances it decreases it because of the spin it puts on the ball.

Paint quality and paint to barrel match determine accuracy, barrel has a TINY bit to do with it, but it's VERY small.

my god. i just tried to click for pricing. lol.

[Emrold]

Has anyone actually tried the gun out? (not that i'm not thankful for my current responses. Inspired some good lulz)

[woodsballer10]

its a gimmick. you cant shoot as many paintballs at a time because it has no hopper. accuracy is defined by the paint quality and the paint to barrel match, not the length of the barrel.

[Crawdaddy]

It's not a gimmick it's an AGD Tac One with a magazine feed and stock slapped on. The Tac One is a very consistent shooting high quality marker. Skip the Longbow crap and just buy a Tac One you won't be disappointed with an Automag.

These Special Ops guys are the next best thing in innovation with paintball tactics and markers.

It's friggin amazing! Go to this page- Special Ops Paintball

And see the variety of weapons they offer. Dual A-5s? Are you serious?

Yes, they're expensive, but they're well worth it. Tried out the Longbow at the shop, it was actually the most accurate gun I ever shot.
Woodsballer, perhaps I read your comment wrong, but each tube holds 21 paintballs. (I think.) How does this enable the user to shoot as many balls at a time as they want? It's 21 at a time.

I dunno what they did to that thing, but for some strange, deranged reason, it actually was the most accurate thing I ever shot.

[Crawdaddy]

The Automag Xvalve is a regulator and since it runs on HPA you are essentially shooting a dual regulated marker there is the accuracy. Special Ops didn't do anything but add a stock and clipfeed and jack up the price.

Huh. Thanks for the insight. And I actually thought they were creative...

What a load of junk.

PS-
w00t, 200th post! That's an all-time-high on my to-do list... -=[.W.e.e.h.u.T.]=- pwns again!

(Not really, but at least it made me feel better saying, err, typing that.)

They are very creative they managed to market the same marker (A5) in several configurations they invented to match the positions that they also invented. What I do give them credit for is manufacturing soft goods specifically for the scenario and woodsball community their vests, clothing, pouches etc. are actually very good. Specialops also brought woodsball back into the spotlight with the SPPL and their game locator helped me find a couple of fields nearby that I didn't know about. I like a lot that Special Ops has to offer but the "Longbow" is a pet peeve of mine because it practically hypnotizes the newbies with its lethal combination of being specifically for "snipers" and riflelike looks.



This is an AGD Tac One. Strip away the Longbow's stock and the shroud with the built in clip feed system and they are the exact same damn marker. But oh no not to the newbies. To the newbies the Longbow is the must have sniping marker of all time. Nevermind that the Tac One is one of the finest quality mechanical markers of all time made by the one of the greatest paintball companies of all time AGD has been around since the beginning and many of their innovations helped get paintball to where it is today. Nope Special Ops gets all the credit and the newbies never realize that they are ruining a great fast shooting mechanical semi with a stupid overpriced clipfeed system.

O! what was i thinking! my little ego-filled world may come crashing down around me if i were to loose my title of a "hammer". I better go put a scope on my dm6 before I loose my title of the team sniper as well....

[woodsballer10]

my point was that the long bow scheme was a joke. the tac one by its self is a great marker.

[Trbo323]

well i could have told you that the long bow idea was a joke just by looking at the picture.....i mean (no offence to mil-sim people) when was the last time you saw a good idea come out of the mil-sim camp? one that would help preformance?
