BT Paintball Design Appex Barrel...
I was reading Action Pursuit Games magazine and saw an ad for the BT Paintball Design Appex Barrel (you can make the ball curve any way you want it to hit the previously untouchable) and was wondering what you guys think of it.
I for one do not like the idea at all! It takes away the purpose of bunkers entirly!

Unscrew your barrel about a quarter - three/quarters turn and it will curve the bunker. Mainly depends on the gun though.

we know about it. Lots of guys here think it will "quin the game" i doubt it. Finding someone experienced enough in it's use would be impossible. And no self-respecting player would buy a tippmann barrel (not saying it's a bad thing, just saying players don't like tippmann, they see it as low end)

There is no way it can impart a curve consistent enough to be usefull. Just one more gimmick to get noobs to drop money on useless crap. Also, there was already a thread on this.
