Still pretty interesting. People are all, "Oh no, they can get me behind the tree!!!" Comeon, just step to the side and shoot the guy, hundred bucks says the guy points it straight at you and misses cause its ganna curve.

Unless you practice changing the direction on it religiosly, you will get pwned.

Well, if you play with a guy covering you you can chase the guy behind the tree out with the apex and have your pal tag him.

I can see it being a useful tool for a team but if everyone had them it would probably be risky.  Maybe 1 or 2 guys

It seems more like a novelty barrel, like that firestorm crank thing.

^I don't see how it's anymore a novelty than the Flatline.

It actually takes the Flatline and owns it. Does everything the Flatline can do and more.

I wouldn't buy one, but I saw that video and it seems pretty accurate in standard mode and the balls were also pretty accurate when he started curving them.

Though it shot in Flatline mode like the real Flatline, not very acurately! LOL

It costs just barely more than a Flatline, and it also looks somewhat like a suppressor, and does the Flatline thing, while also doing the standard barrel thing, while also doing the curving thing!

I think also heard something about it being pretty easy to clean, though don't quote me on that.

Looks quality to me, although I will say from the looks of it BT has ripped off the JCS stocks! Oh well, if you're gonna be a biter it's best to copy the best.

I have used it and played against it. I personally like it better then the flatline. Like anything else it has pros and cons. But it is easy/quick to change settings and also easy to clean. But I have enough barrels, no need to drop the $$$$

yeah, the downward arc-effect would actually be the one that those speedballers would be all over!

I was honestly impressed with the amount of curve it had and how accurate it shot in sideways mode.

definitely would be a nightmare if used right on the speedball field.

man, i hope those don't go over.  It seems to me they're taking alot of the skill out of the game.  I mean really, you can be lazy and just use that, or you can move your ass and make a run or just bunker them.  If everyone had one of those, There would be no point to having bunkers.  If this product goes through, it will also make snap-shooting nearly impossible.....  it won't matter if you can or not, with those, someone can shoot you if you snap or not......  The game will turn into nothing more than a painfull version of flashlight tag......

You can pull this off fairly effectively with the Flatline by tipping the marker left or right...  the APEX does sound interesting though.
