The Finer Points of Paintball Barrels
Paintball barrels are used to locate the paintball and to shoot it to perfection. Aiming of players is done with the help of this paintball barrel. Gas pockets are provided behind the paintball barrel for controlling the shooting stroke. The diameter of the bore of the paintball barrel varies for the different size of the paintballs used.
Apart from the bore diameter, the barrels are also available in different styles and different lengths, to make it fit for different marker. Usual paintball barrels just slid and screwed in the marker. So the threading should match exactly. Some type of threads are autococker, angel, shocker, spyder, A-5, etc.
The paintball barrels come in three types of models. The types of models are one piece model, two piece models and the three piece model. The difference in these types of models in that the positioning and the number of paintball kept in the barrel can be varied. The general configuration used all over is the two or three piece models.
Next factor is the length of the barrel to be used in the paintball game. The length of the paintball barrel can vary from 3 to 31 inches. Whereas if you want your shoot sound to be more silent, they the length should be more. For this case the length can go up to 48 inches.
Mostly players will choose their barrel length to be around 14 and 16 inches. The reason for this is to make accurate shootings and also to make it more portable. Inflatable bunkers can be pushed easily during the course of the game if you use a long barrel. This is an advantage of the paintball barrel.
The paintball barrel has an inner bore in which the paintball is placed and shot. This bore should be equal in diameter to the paintball to have uniform and more velocity of the ball during shooting. If you use a two or three piece barrels, there is no need of changing the barrels.
