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?) ------------- Tippmann 98 Custom -14 Inch Bead Blasted Bigshot -RT Kit -Trigger X2 -Cyclone Feed -Lp Kit -Palmers Male Stabilizer -Crossfire Nitro Tank -Sticky Grips -Camo Graphics -S.S.

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....????? ------------- Tippmann 98 Custom -14 Inch Bead Blasted Bigshot -RT Kit -Trigger X2 -Cyclone Feed -Lp Kit -Palmers Male Stabilizer -Crossfire Nitro Tank -Sticky Grips -Camo Graphics -S.S.

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. ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

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. ------------- Only Hugh can prevent florist friars. |

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. ------------- [IMG]http://i38.tinypic.com/aag8s8.jpg"> |

| 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 |

He's right about the lighter part... the apex is heavy on an a-5 especially with a 20oz... but i love my apex. I think it looks great too. ------------- Tippmann A-5 Polished Internals E-Grip Ape Board JCS Blade Trigger QEV 8" Bigshot + Apex Ricochet R-5 / Tac Cap Palmers Stabilizer 68/4500 Crossfire |

Apex is illegal in alot of tournements, check your tournements rules before deciding to get this barrel. It would be highly disappointing to show up at your field to play a tournement, to find out that you are disQed because the barrel is illegal. -------------
