The adjustable backspin idea dates back to the old Z-body automags,
they used a rubber nubing wich you could adjust the amount of
resistance thus increasing or decreasing the amount of backspin. I'm
not sure how the Apex works but it's most likely fairly simular.

Hardtime <hardtime11@hotmail.com> has this craizy idea that:

/cut/

IMHO it's dumb even if it works (wich I seriously doubt, not in the way
described in the adds anyway)....
I mean if you're not able to manouver your way in to a good shooting
position, and take someone out, and youre too lazy to learn and practice how
it's done, than dont play paintball. It's what makes paintball "paintball".
U need to use u're brain, tactics, speed, agility to outwit, outamneuver,
and finally outgun your opponent. not just stand in the back of the field
and shoot "behind" every bunker.
Imagine if every player on the field had one of these "barrels"... how would
that game look like... everybody standing in one place and shooting
at/"behind" everything...
stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid
not to mention the fact that it cost more than most markers it will be used
on....
BS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Yes, according to the Support group that is pretty much how it works
and you can actually vary the amount (ramp it) of backspin it has and
then instead of turning the entire weapon like you do with the
flatline you can actually turn the end of it to place it in the
direction you want.

That is what I mean if it is that adjustable/variable I will probably
get one. My buddy has already ordered one and I am anxious to know
how it really stacks up before I drop the paper notes for it.

No matter your spelling is still better than a couple that have been
here lately. Turn your spell check on and never add to the dictionary
just use ignore periodically.

I asked for the opinion and I have yours. But I have been places that
when you don't have a weapon to hit something in a certain position
they create one. Look at the Real Military.

I look at the APEX like this. It puts a new twist on the game. If
one is being used against you it makes you think a little bit more and
be a little more agile, quick and thinking of ways to take it out.

I don't know if you have been in the military or not (I know not in
combat) but you can think about it like a mortar or such. Remember
though that when he is doing his tricks that you can easily step and
take him straight (if your fast & agile).

I only use the flatline twist against wipers/cheaters otherwise I am
the straight on with the straight shot angles

I don't know I just like the options. BT support said that it
definitely reaches farther than the regular flatline and with
consistent breaks. This might actually create somewhat more of a
sniper barrel for those scenario games if you think about it.

I am after the main point that it can get rid of the distant float
perception that the flatline gives the balls.

As far as price have you checked out the price of some of the MilSims
that are applied to markers by scenario people, the price is actually
nothing.

My main complaint that I can see against the apex right now is when
you chrono it I think it should be a rule that the apex functions
should be turned off (the ramp) as this means that your velocity will
never go beyond the unrestricted shot. I am sure that with the APEX
turned on it will create a drag on the ball as to cut down the
velocity.

Or have the possibility of locking down the APEX ramp for comp use and
then chrono it.

I still miss spell words from time to time. If I read when I am tired
or been studying (trying to keep up with things, as an older dog :-))
I will mistakenly or automatically hit ignore to many times. Heck, I
even like to miss spell words or use grammatical errors to get things
going from time to time. You know what I mean? ;-)
