if u had all of that could u turn the gun on its side and like soot w/ a curve? i think it would work but would it curve really slowly or what? if someone has this try and let me know

they dont curve that much.

a lil but not enough to actually do sumthing with it.

i do it. i can only shoot once, tip gun up so another ball falls in and do it again.

it does curve, not tones, but it can make things interesting.

sometimes if your lucky you can shoot people around trees and stuff.

I was shooting into a treefort window once. Funny thing is, i couldnt see the window. I was weaving the ball inbetween 2 trees.

Havnt ever hit anyone with the method, but i have come VERY close.

Also, it'd be cool to have a qpod and turn the gun upside down and shoot people over bunkers.

All the flatline does is make the Tippmann shoot more like a rifle, and less like a grenade launcher. You no longer have to vertically arc your shots. Which is very nice indeed. However, if you don't hold it level, the shots will tend to arc. the most I've seen on mine is 3-4 feet to the left of what I was aiming at, at a distance of about 100 feet. Not enough to make it a viable tactic in combat, but enough that you need to make sure you're holding it straight when you shoot. Basically, forget about doing fancy stuff like shooting around trees, because all you're going to do is waste paint. It's a lot easier to move and get a better angle, than to fire off 20 balls before you hit your target.

exactly what flatliner said...its curves just not enough to make it worth anything....at least not in my opinion. ive experimented with my flatline and the whole curve thing is over exaggerated.

**Gabriot** · December 5th, 05:54 PM

You'd be better off just breaking a ball in your barrel or somethin.

**lbreevesii** · December 5th, 06:11 PM

dumb idea franctly. i mean it could theoreticly work(for cryin out loud the russians i think it was had a curved barrel for shooting around corners during WWII), but why on earth would anybody want a q-loader for a tippy? the q-loader costs more than the gun. get a halo if you want to do that, its force fed.

**dhill0413** · December 5th, 06:34 PM

qloader=overkill

**Scorch** · December 6th, 12:07 AM

i can see the purposes for putting a qloader on the 98 but it wouldnt be for speed if i did it.

Actually, it was the Germans, The idea was that they could issue them to panzer tank crews, allowing them to eliminate infantry who got too close, i.e. under the arc of the machine gun, without exposing themselves to fire. It was a good idea, and worked well, although the war ended before it was issued. It used a Mirror system for sighting.

**shorty7874** · December 6th, 06:22 PM

i was just wondering and about halo b instead i thouhgt i added the but i guess not. I didnt think it would be that much but complete upside down would be the most cause you would have grav and spin. Besides there is no way id but halo or q and a flatline for my tippy, im thinking for my next gun a cocker, or if i get the $$ a TIMMY!!!

i really hope i dont offend you, and this is not a flame, but are you retarded? a halo b with rip drive and z code msrp is around $150, which is more than a tippy 98 custom. a qloader is $80, which is less than the tippy and halo b, and can feed paintballs while the gun is turned to the side or even upside down at 30bps and up. not sure if the force fed halo can still feed upside down, but a qloader can do it easily. a halo b with the rip drive and all the batteries i am sure is heavier than a qloader pod, which isnt all that heavy. the qloader pod is also smaller and you can put it under the barrel or on the side of the gun, which would make it easier to turn upside down if you chose to do so.

and i dont know why everyone thinks the qloader is so expensive... you have no idea how many times i have seen "no the qloader is too expensive, go with a halo b or reloader b" hmm qloader $80 reloader b $150.... looks like half of this forum needs to go back to first grade. and it isnt just you Ibreevesii, many people say that a qloader is too expensive, so please dont take this personally. on a side note, why WOULD you put a qloader on a tippy? i can shoot 8 bps on a stock tippy with a non motorized gravity feed hopper, which is about as fast as it will go anyways (ok maybe 10 bps with some really good triger modding), but dont even bother getting another hopper unless you plan on buying a faster gun later on.

thats why you dont get the flat line

Alpha · December 18th, 06:42 PM

yea+no+no

Get a MODEL 98, make it rear cocking, get a nice air system, good barrel kit, and a reloader.

SuperManD1v3 · December 18th, 07:21 PM

it goes to show 2 not get a Flatline because Tippmann Effect don't even use them.

Alpha · December 18th, 07:26 PM

IF I had an A5 flatline, I might get it.People say it works nice, adn its very short adn simple to install (its just a twist). But the 98c flatlien is long, heavy, and loud. I'd stay away from it.
