The Apex has a rubber flap at the end of the barrel. Just before the ball leaves the barrel, it hits the flap and spin is put on the ball. Depending on how you have the Apex rotated, you can use the spin to shoot in a curve (left/right), cause it to drop on top of people, or use the spin in the same way the Flatline does to get distance.
The Flatline uses a cushion of air to promote the spin, where as the Apex uses the flap at the end.
Apex just gives you more options and can be moved with you from gun to gun if you ever leave your Tippmann. |
It ALL relates to friction on the ball imparting the backspin. The backspin can be seen at distance when the ball starts curving up. Thus the sandblasted bore on the flatline, and the adjustable rubber ramp in the apex.
FS I don't think the Apex is as picky.
