Thanks for the lengthy reply. I was hoping the tone wasn't such that I got a 4+3 word answer. I had to put my flatline in a bag today and use an adapter and a stock 98 barrel, and that out shot the flatline 2:1. I plan to call Palmers tomorrow about the ported Vs non ported and the 8" vs 10". I would prefer 8" as I like the MP5 look. However if ported is the way to go I'll save 50% and look around I think. The CP's are rather long for an A-5 though

The CP was on 2 MR2's using CO2 by the way, and there were a few brakes in the day, and as stated above, it may look rather long on an A-5. I will say that my A-5 is the loudest I have ever heard. To the point I consulted Tippmann regarding it. As time goes on and i see people cower when I pull the trigger, I like it! Providing that at a distance they don't hit the dirt before the ball reaches them of course.

Does anyone know of a barrel shroud for a 8" or 10" barrel that will yield a suppressor type look similar to the flatline?
