What is the difference between C02 and N2?  One very important difference is the lack for the need of an expansion chamber on your paintball gun or CO2 bottle.  The Co2 deals more with the Ideal gas law from physics.  When you shoot fast the pressure of the tank drops rapidly, and the temperature continues to drop to the point that the only thing going to the expansion chamber is liquid CO2. This causes the expansion chamber to fill up with liquid CO2 and also make the paintballs shoot faster than normal.  In some paintball guns this could cause lockup or even damage.  These are some pitfalls of using an expansion chamber; but if you use N2 instead, you won’t need the expansion chamber and won’t have to worry about these problems.

apex_barrel_for_raptor_tactical_rifled_barrel.jpg The latest buzz is all about barrels that have spiral threads/rifles inside of them that allow you to spin your paintball - giving you further distance and even letting you ‘direct’ or curve your shot.  Well there is actually is such an animal and it’s called the APEX BarrelThis is a thread-on barrel, you can attach to the tip of all RAPTOR Barrels and the 7/8 RECON rifled barrel.  The APEX gives you the power, distance, accuracy and the performance of a rifled barrel with the ability of the Tippmann Flatline Barrel.  With the APEX and RAPTOR / RECON rifled barrel combination you are guaranteed to get more distant, accuracy and more elimination than ever before.  Here is how it works….. The APEX barrel has an adjusting switch that allows you to control how much curve to put on the ball.  You can turn the APEX barrel to curve up, down, left or right.  This allows you to have full control where the paintball will land.  With the APEX barrel you will able to shoot around an object at a curve to take out your opponent.  This is the biggest “cheat” advantage upgrade you can get for your paintball marker.  If straight shot does not do the job, you can take out your opponent hiding behind rocks, trees, bunkers or any other obstructing objects with a curve.  You can make impossible shots with this barrel!  The APEX Thread On Barrel is compatible with all Raptor Tactical Rifled Barrels, Tactical Barrels, Spyder MR1, MR2, MR3 7/8th inch Recon Barrels, and Tippmann X7 7/8th inch Recon Barrels.  You can find this awesome paintball gun upgrade at www.choicepaintballguns.com.

landgroove.jpgRecently, there have been a number of products to come out that are reputed to add a ’spin’ to your paintball as it comes out of the paintball gun barrel.  The barrel itself has to be ‘rifled’, however this just means it has tiny grooves in it.  If you just buy a ‘rifled’ tactical barrel, this doesn’t necessarily mean it will put a spin on your paintball.  You have to make sure the rifled grooves have a ’spiral’ shape to them inside the barrel.  There are two paintball gun barrels out there right now that will do this.  One is called the Hammerhead barrel and the other is called the APEX barrel.  The Hammerhead barrel is a full length barrel that will fit on all the Tippmann guns, T68, BT, PCS and Spyder paintball guns.  It has spiralled rifling grooves throughout the length of the barrel and will put a spin on your ball.  If you want even more control, check out the APEX barrel.  This one is not a whole length barrel, but rather an attachment to the end of a barrel; it works best if you attach it on the end of a rifled tactical barrel.  The APEX barrel attachment will allow you to direct your paintball either by shooting farther, or you can have it veer to the right or left.  It even has a tiny switch on the side of it so you can choose which direction you want the paintball to curve to.  This thing should be unfair/illegal to have one on the paintball field as you can hit you opponents while they’re hiding behind bunkers!

images_products_markers_alpha-black_t106007_large.jpgThe Alpha Black has already broken record sales but get ready…. the new Alpha Black Camo Edition is going to be an even bigger hit!  It’s already proving to be extremely popular so if you want one and don’t want to wait, the time to buy is now!  RAP4 must’ve known these guns were going to be ultra-popular because they’ve come up with a whole bunch of different handguards, barrels, stocks, upgrade kits and just overall bad ass combinations of cool gadgets to add to this paintball marker.  Check out the Alpha Black Frostbite Sniper and the Alpha Black Tactical sniper paintball gun; these would make fine additions to any sniper’s quiver of sleek, sneaky paintball death machines.  The Alpha Black M16 marker is also a great looking piece of equipment.  Wait until you see all the recent upgrades for this gun too…. you can’t have a machine gun without an electronic trigger (of course they sell one at www.choicepaintballguns.com…. http://www.choicepaintballguns.com/product/J001180).  There is also a new 45 degree swivel bipod that will attach to the Alpha Black that’s very innovative and definitely going to be part of my personal collection.  If you’re looking for cool mounts to add scopes or lasers to, this gun has got it.  The best thing about all the Alpha Black’s new accessories are all the different handguards/barrel kits; the M4 barrel kit and the RIS barrel kit are a couple to definitely check out.

flute_sniper_barrel.jpgRAP4 has come out with a new 22 inch sniper barrel called the Fluted sniper barrel.  This barrel will give you supreme performance on the paintball field.  They thought ahead when they made this bad boy too; it will fit on virtually any paintball gun….. the 22 inch fluted barrel will fit all the Tippmanns (Tippmann 98, A5 and X7), Spyder paintball guns, Viewloader, Smart Parts and of course the T68 Gen6 tactical paintball markers.  It also fits on the Tippmann Alpha Black.  Unlike the 22 inch super sniper barrels, this is a ‘true’ 22 incher!  The 22 inch super sniper barrels are really only an 18″ barrel with a 4″ muzzle brake that doesn’t actually touch the paintball - so it’s kind of a misnomer calling it a 22 inch barrel.  Yes it’s 22 inches long, but no the actual barrel length is not 22 inches.  Well the new 22 inch fluted sniper barrel is actually 22 inches long.  It also uses the ‘fluted’ technology.  This means is has multiple tiny holes in the last 8 inches or so of the barrel that will force air out ahead of the paintball as it pushes through.  This will allow for less drag on the ball allowing for a farther shot.  The 22 inch flute sniper barrel is also a rifled barrel - meaning there are tiny grooves throughout it’s length inside that also cuts down on the surface area that actually touches the paintball allowing for less drag as well.  Guess what?  It’s also CHEAPER than the 22 inch super sniper barrel; go figure.  You can find this excellent paintball gun barrel upgrade at www.choicepaintballguns.com!

flatline.jpgThe Flatline Barrel System is the first production back spin barrel ever produced. The principle behind the system is Tippmann’s newly designed slightly curved barrel, which applies centrifugal force to the ball, creating backspin.  Not only does this system offer increased accuracy and distance but also offers flat trajectory for thick brush and canopy play.  By minimizing trajectory of the ball and increasing accuracy, you increase the amount of targets which would ordinarily be out of range.  The Flatline Barrel System adds 100 feet of flat trajectory GUARANTEED.  It’s the only barrel that will add to the flat trajectory and thus increase distance and accuracy no matter what other manufacturers or your friends say.  ChoicePaintballGuns.com has a great deal on the Tippmann A5 marker and the Flatline barrel together in a package.

t68_m4_marker_lf.jpgIntroducing the new T68 Gen6….. the most advanced scenario paintball gun of all time.  The T68 Gen6 reflects the latest in tactical paintball technology, incorporating a fully functional magazine-feed system.  You may say to yourself, ’this gun looks an awful lot like the T68 Gen4′.  Well, you’re right.  It actually is the T68 Gen4 but with new upgraded parts that make the gun more efficient, reliable and realistic.  The T68 Gen6 features newly redesigned ball feed and air system components.  So what’s the difference between the NEW T68 Gen6 and the old T68 Gen4?  

The T68 Gen6 has a new and improved internal flexi-air system CNC machined to improve reliability and durability.  It features all-metal construction, while the bolt is made out of Delrin to prevent metal-to-metal wear and tear.  Along with all these upgrades and improvements, the T68 Gen6 comes with a 5 year warranty from defects in manufacturing or material.  This is one of the longest product warranties you’ll find in the industry.

The T68 Gen6 has an advanced hammer and power spring - and micro-honed barrel; this paintball marker will deliver head shots at 150 feet, with a max range of 300 feet.  They shoot standard .68 caliber paintballs and can be used at any paintball field.  You can also adjust the velocity.  The new Gen6 also has numerous internal and external upgrades, including a newly redesigned bolt and hammer and many other intricate parts that greatly improve this marker’s overall power, range and accuracy.

Another way to increase the accuracy of your paintball marker is getting the best air system you can possibly find. Look for one with a high flow and recharge rate and a well built regulator.  The PSI (pounds per square inch) and CI (cubic inches) of the tank does not affect accuracy.  Check out the Crossfire Series of high or low pressure N2 tanks on ChoicePaintballGuns.com.  The final method to improving accuracy is to purchase a high-flow regulator, inline, bottomline, or sideline (along the side of the marker; a rare find these days).  Check out the AG1 Regulator found at ChoicePaintballGuns.com for a great example of this.  A high flow will significantly increase accuracy because it will allow more air to flow inside of the marker, increasing consistency, a major factor in accuracy.  A top of the line regulator is the Smart Parts Max-Flo Micro System.  Also keep in mind the effects of barrel length on range and accuracy.
