The Apex barrel is amazing in its ability to curve shots around, under, and over bunkers.  Perhaps it will be as common place as R/T's and E-grips are today... but for now I think it is pretty much for cheaters that can't play normal paintball.  I do ofcourse realize no one is truly cheating until the Apex is banned.  If I were a field owner I would outlaw it now, before too many people buy it and can't use it.  Some of you would say the Flatline is the same, but asside from being able really reach out far, and being able to make some curved shots by tipping your flatline equiped marker to 10-30°, it is not nearly as extreme as the Apex.

Hot button:  The Apex could be very popular among serious speedballers, since they are mostly, not all now, but mostly cheaters.  Ouch!  Bring it on...

in speedball the term "speed" is what you need to play...switching and tuning your Apex barrel would be terrible...its slow and if someone tried to bunker you and you were curved you would have 0% chance of surviving.

Its not really for cheaters I mean its not like you automatically hit people that are behind bunkers. Its not really that big a deal to have them curve side to side because you would really have to be good at it to hit people like that. I do think the flatline mode and the 'down' mode are cool though. you could play speed with it set to down all the time and just aim higher and higher until you can get them curving right down on top of enemys heads. It would be awesome to nail someone right on the top of the head like that.

^^^ The Apex does not have a "Flatline mode".  It curves a ball low and up for its long shot... not flat and straight like the Flatline...  It would be fun to shoot peeps right on top of the head...

Do you want people to argue with you or what? It seems that way to me.

I'd hardly call it cheating. If anyone took that out in speedball, I think they'd get wasted. For example, if I ran to a bunker, and someone on the other team had an Apex, they'd probably try to him me while curving around the bunker. They'd have to set it, then get the range. I'd clue in pretty fast when I see balls curving behind me. Just as he gets the right distance, I'd move to another bunker. He'd have to reset, and re-aim. Meanwhile, I'd probably be lacing his bunker with paint, so he can't shoot. Or I'd run straight at him to bunker him, while he's desperatly shooting at me, only to see his balls curve helplessly around me.

^^Yea, that's very true. I think the Apex is more suited for woods then Speed.

The apex is just another new product, the game changes, get use to it.

Plus this should be in T&O or NP.

The Apex is in my opinion just another barrel with brass eagle shot through it. I don't find it at all itimadateing or impressive.
