Tips & Warnings
Note that the Apex barrel has settings for a straight line shot as well as a downward curve. The downward curve is useful when you're in an elevated position above your opponent. You can send the paintballs curving downward without exposing your position.
Always wear adequate face protection when playing paintball.
Never fire a paintball gun at an opponent unless proper face protection is being worn.
