apex, i had a flatine too picky man, you get tired quick of cleaning that thing out all the time....Remember, apex is the flatline just with a  few more bells and whistles with easier use....Everyone loves bells and whistles (right?)

Ok for tournaments....Apex would do better...a simple twist, hey you shot that man around that bunker...another simple twist and you using the drop bomb techniqe where u can actually shoot over bunkers and as i believe (tho i never tried one) it comes down and its the person (you know like a dive bomb) of course the thing fires further than the flatline like 300+ feet (tho the further u shoot the more inaccurate it gets)

between flaty and apex...go for apex....between a regular straight barrel an apex there is a bigger argument...

apex is the newer technology of the flatline

the question is, do you wnat to sarcrifce accuarcy for range....?????

i agree with him i have a bigshot know but when i started paintballing i was just like you i wanted a flatline soo bad but at the end i gave it back as i already told you. and same for the apex. they just have horrible accuracy. instead of spending $100 on that get a bigshot for like $40-$50 and the other $50 buy a expantion chamber. what expantion chamber does is it gives the liquid CO2 a space and time to seperate into gas so no liquid CO2 will get into your internals and mess things up and it also improves accuracy.

Get the Apex. From what I hear it's just as accurate as your regular barrel.

 The Apex is retarded. You have to adjust it every time you want to shoot. I have a flatline and it works just fine. Plus the apex is ugly.

Who says you have to adjust every time you shoot?  Adjusting is strictly optional.  You can just find a setting you like and leave it there.

I'd take a bigshot over either but if I had to choose between the two I would take the Apex since it can do everything the Flatline can and more.

every on says that the apex and flatline are inaccurate beceause they shoot farther distances. wouldnt you rather shoot at farther distances with a chance of hiting someone then not having a chance at all
