APEX/longrange/ball spin barrel for cannons.

i was thinking that it would be cool to make a barrel attachment that puts spin on the projectile which would have to be a ball, it could work in the same way as a apex barrel and it could turn so the rubber(or something else) strip could be on different sides of the barrel for different spin.

well the apex you can move the adjustable switches and it will make yoiur paint cirve different ways. Right or left. 10 yards, 20 yards, 50 yards.

This isn't rifling, it's hop-up.

Jack was stating to jrrdw that it's a hop-up. Though I think jrrdw knew that it wasn't a rifling, I believe he was just asking if it was any better than one. Which is probably isn't.

Because the ball doesn't go where you aim. :roll:
