8 with the Egrip.  Looks different than most setups.

I like it the way it is.

Get rid of the Bi-pob, or move it up further. Other than that I like it.

Looks great. Maybe a regulator. What do you think of the Apex?

Thanks guys,

Im pretty much in love with the Apex so far, as long as you have decent paint, the thing is is pretty damned accurate and the range is mind numbing. The first game I used it, I was using year old Torc paint that came with more than a few broken balls in the bag.

The first round I fired a 8-10 shot burst at my friend who was about 40-50 yards away on ramp switch 3, and he reported to me later that i hit him 4 times in the head...Amazing. This thing is way more accurate than the flatline, at all ranges except for the range it starts to surpass flatline distance.

The hook and drop shots can come in use in certain situations also, such as open pilboxes or other fortifications with no roof. Draxus Midnight has worked the best with it so far, you want to go with thicker shelled paint with this barrel.

And about the Bipod, I wasn't so sure about getting one either, but it was only $40 so I figured what the hell...

Im the captain of a scenario team, and I play the position of (dare I say) machine gunner. It does actually help when you have to reload while supporting team mates, you can use one arm to fire at the opposing team while using your other arm to reload your marker. The bipod keeps the front of your marker level.

It also folds and deploys very easily, and trust me, Im not the kind of guy who will be opening this thing up every time I stop moving. I only use it strictly when waiting for a LONG time to set an ambush, or if we engage a lot of enemy and i might need to reload while fireing.

But despite what most might think, it doesn't really get in the way at all, folded or deployed. It was worth the $40.

I like it. It's pretty cool for a woodsball type gun.

I really like apex barrels. Don't have one because I don't know how well they are in speedball.. which is what I mostly play.

i think you should get a slabilizer as a matter of principle... less FPS spikes, the more consistant the shot

I wish I knew what barrel to get.

Its between Jnj Edge kit/APEX/Stiffi

And I want to get a cheap, plastic Bi Pod. Only because of weight

Ebolt is for 98's, I think he has the egrip which is fine
