Empire BT Apex 2 Paintball Barrel

This specific model is designed for compatibility with Tippmann 98 threaded markers. Please verify your marker's threading before purchasing, as it will not fit markers with different threading standards.

The ramp switch applies backspin or sidespin to the paintball as it exits the barrel. By adjusting the nine levels, you can create a flatter trajectory for distance or induce a curve to hit targets hiding behind bunkers.

Not at all. The barrel features a toolless disassembly design, allowing you to quickly take it apart on the field to clear out any shell fragments or paint residue without needing extra equipment.

The 18-inch length provides a longer sight plane, which can help with aiming, but the primary benefit here is the leverage it gives the spin-control system. It is a longer barrel, so keep that in mind if you prefer a more compact setup for tight spaces.

While it works with standard paint, the Apex 2 performs best with high-quality, consistent paintballs. Extremely brittle or misshapen paint can sometimes cause issues with the spin mechanism or lead to barrel breaks.
