The Empire Apex2 14\" Barrel (Tippmann 98 Thread) is designed for players who prefer a more compact front-end setup but don’t want to sacrifice the Apex function. With its shorter design, the marker remains more maneuverable, especially when you’re navigating tight areas of the field, moving between cover, or playing in dense terrain.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003eThe Empire Apex2 14\" Barrel (Tippmann 98 Thread) features a Tippmann 98 thread and is therefore compatible with numerous markers on this platform, including classic Tippmann 98 models as well as compatible variants like the TMC. The 14-inch length ensures a balanced ratio between maneuverability and clean ball trajectory.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApex System for Variable Trajectories\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003eThe key feature of the Empire Apex2 14\" Barrel (Tippmann 98 Thread) is the adjustable Apex unit at the muzzle. Using the external adjustment wheel, you control the rubber lip that imparts spin to the paintball. This allows you to adjust the trajectory depending on the game situation:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003eRaise the ball’s trajectory for greater range\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003eCreate lateral curves\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003eCompletely deactivate the Apex effect\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003eEspecially when opponents are only partially visible behind obstacles, the Empire Apex2 14\" Barrel (Tippmann 98 Thread) opens up possibilities that a standard barrel cannot offer.

The adjustment wheel is more accessible and can be readjusted even during play.
