X7 w/ apex...more mods to come

cool, it might look a tad better with a stock.

But so far so good.

I'm waiting for the commando stock to come out. This marker's gonna rock when I'm done. I have a few more mods up my sleeve.

If you made a cheesy shroud to make the Apex look like a silencer that would be nice..

Ok but I really think the Apex barrel ruins it and the game. Its so cheap!!!!

How does the apex ruin the game.

Here's my review of the apex barrel. It rocks! I never thought I would use a barrel other than the flatline because I love the straight trajectory so much. A friend of mine mentioned the apex barrel a few weeks ago, so I decised to check it out myself. I began this search with sceptacism and doubts about the APEX. I thought there's no way any knock-off barell could come close to the flatline. I was wrong. The APEX on my Tippmann X7 rocks! All the non believers have every right to dislike the APEX, because they were using it wrong. The APEX claims to allow the player to shoot around bunkers; forget it! This thing isn't good for that...the whole idea of shooting around or over a bunker is just lame and impractical. However, if you're looking for accuracy, distance, and a barrel that will shoot paintballs in a straight and flat trajectory, then the APEX is the answer. Having been a loyal fan and owner of the flatline for the last 6 years, you may consider this source reliable.

Here are some managable drawbacks to the APEX.

It breaks paint when you set the variable hop up switch too high...but there's just no need to do that anyway.
It does require semi-durable paint just like the flatline

Here are the benefits the APEX provides

extreme accuracy
same distance and trajectory as the flatline
easier to clean than the flatline

Overall conclusion: The APEX barrel is better than the flatline...I know, I didn't think that was possible either.

I'd love to tell you about the custome mods to come, but I want my actions to speak louder than words. To be continued...

i have that barrel on my 98 and its pretty good. i think they should start making xm8 mods for the x7

i cant see the pic it just says image hosting

sorry if this offends any one but it is funny

Tippman 98c w/ J&J ceramic barrel
polished internals
expansion chamber

ok Would you like to be shot in the face when your clearly behind a bunker? Ok thats what I thought.

to actually use the side curve or down curve is impractical on an Apexed barrel. its really used to the effect of a flatline by most. the thing is that an Apex is much easier to deal with than a flatline. they are easier to clean out and at not as picky on paint. also if you get an addapter you can put an apex on any regular straight barrel, so you can get a better quality barrel then apex tip it.
