Paintball Barrels
A paintball barrel is an important part of your gun. Barrels come in different lengths usually from 12 inches to 20 inches. Longer barrels are quieter than shorter ones. However, the accuracy and stability of your shots will not be affected by the length of the barrel.

Every paintball barrel has 3 main components: the barrel shaft, threading, and barrel port. The shaft is the longer portion of the barrel where the paintball traverses at high speed. The threading consists of spiral grooves and needed to attach the entire barrel to the body of the gun. The port is the tip of the barrel and controls the sound created by the gun.
If you will buy a replacement barrel, make sure that it is compatible with the body of your gun. For best results, it is advisable to buy a barrel produced by the manufacturer of your paintball gun. So if you have a Tippmann gun, make sure that the barrel is made by Tippmann also. If you want to mix and match, you can use a threading adapter to make sure that the threading will fit into the body of the gun.
The ideal length of the barrel is 12 to 14 inches. This ensures efficient utilization of air power and optimized range. When choosing a barrel it is more important consider its diameter. Make sure that the paintball fits perfectly in the barrel so you can get more forward speed and dead shot accuracy. For best results, you should buy a complete kit consisting of different barrels that match different size of paintballs.
