Empire Apex 2 Barrel Kit

This specific kit is designed with Tippmann A5 threads. You should verify that your marker uses the A5 threading pattern before purchasing, as it will not fit markers with different thread types like Autococker or Ion.

The Apex 2 uses an adjustable ramp at the tip of the barrel to apply backspin to the paintball. By rotating the adjustment lever, you can change the angle of this ramp to curve your shots left, right, up, or down, allowing you to hit targets behind bunkers.

While the Apex 2 is primarily designed for manipulating ball flight and trajectory, it can improve your effective range. However, it is not a precision bore barrel, so it may not offer the same tight grouping as a high-end, honed barrel kit.

A 14-inch barrel is considered the industry standard for a balance between maneuverability and accuracy. It is long enough to provide good aim but short enough to keep you agile when moving through tight spaces or dense cover.

Yes, it is compatible with standard .68 caliber paintballs. Keep in mind that because the Apex 2 relies on friction to create spin, you may experience more barrel breaks if you use extremely brittle tournament-grade paint.
