Not much info here about the Apex. Not too many people have heard of it or use it. Over priced and ineffective from what I hear. YOU MIGHT JUST HAVE TO DO A SEARCH WITH "APEX" IN THE "SEARCH FOR" SLOT!!!

yeah people love to tell you to search but they hate to actually help. And theres not actually much said around here about the m16 one.

 

i think its amazing i love the apex barrel and i love the m16 look. im gona assume you allready know alot about the apex? i m actually gona get the m16 apex myself. it combines amazing performance with cool looks.

i have the apex, just got it a couple of weeks ago, and its amazing.  its not picky about paint at all, in fact i used the cheapest stuff i could find, zap, to test it when i first got it, and it had no problems.  scorch works fine as well and so does domination paint.  the curves are awesome and easy to get the hang of.  i recommend the apex to anyone.  and, you can TURN IT OFF if you just need a good plain straight barrel.

The performance is the same. The "looks" are all just cosmetic.

Hate to actually help! DUDE, you have now idea of which you speak! I will make a note to myself to try and remember to not give carl-the-sniper any advise to avoid dissuading he from his preconceived notions.

they made a huge mistake when naming the barrel kit.. that looks nothing lke a m-16 barrel, if anything it looks more like an m4. because m4s have way smaller barrel costemics.

My brother has the m-16 apex.... its very accurate and effective... i would consider buying it if you do have the money and are going for the mil sim look.

 just mad at people who take the time to post and just tell you to search but offer no help at all.

and what does term paper research have to do with aything?

look im sorry to single you out and i know most of the time you do help. i was just talking generally.

and finally, i meant that the performance is the same.
