Ya I know I was trying to explain how it shoots. A linear shooter shoots the ball out at an angle close to the horizontal axis whereas a catapult shoots at an angle more towards the vertical axis. That's mainly what I meant. Basically a linear shooter gives the ball an angle that's a lot less steep.
