The fall season is upon us and in the paintball world that means we begin to see next year’s paintball clothing! The first company to get their clothing out to us this year is Empire with their Empire TZ 2010 Paintball Clothing lineup. As per the last two years, they offer dual model lines, LTD and Contact. The classic Contact line is their base model, with LTD hosting additional features, colors and patterns. While Contact is offered throughout the year the LTD is only made in one limited production run so if you like what you see, buy it now because when they are gone, they are gone!
Contact
This year’s Empire TZ 2010 Contact Paintball Pants went with a more subdued look, utilizing basic black over more of the pant and highlighting with color blocks and piping. Their classic diamond pattern padding is used throughout the front, thighs and hips to ease crashing into the ground, paintball hits to sensitive areas and encourage bounce. Ample formed padding for the knees helps protect without being too bulky. All zippers are covered by neoprene piping to soften the target area and the squeegee pockets are neoprene lined as well. To clean paint splatter of your lens between games there is a microfiber cloth on a bungee lanyard so you can clear your lens without fear of losing the cloth. The waist has velcro adjustable sizing pulls and 2″ wide belt loops in case you want to wear your big ol’ studded leather belt while playing! They are available in Black, Blue, Red, Olive or Silver.
LTD
While Empire Paintball went with an understated look for Contact, they really went crazy with the LTD! Following the modern fashion trends of load and frantic all over patterns, the Empire 2010 TZ Paintball Pants are for the player looking to be noticed on and off the field. The LTD pants feature more articulated knee padding with kevlar reinforced skid zones to strengthen and prolong your pant’s life. They incorporate more slide padding in the hip region that extends farther down for safer and more comfortable slides into bunkers. The ankle area features a velcro sizing cuff and zippered leg that lets you easily slip the LTD Pants on and off over our playing shoes. That way, you can change into shorts for lunch or long breaks between games and not have to slither in and out of your sweaty shoes. The Empire TZ 2010 Paintball Pants are available in Plaid, Star, Skyline, Waffle and Tipsy.
Check It Products is one of the older companies in paintball famous for high quality aluminum marker upgrades, especially Autococker parts such as their rebuildable Autococker ball detents, delrin bolts and Autococker valves. Thus, it only makes sense that they release a 100% Autococker compatible pump marker!
The Check It Mini Sniper Pump Paintball Marker is in all respects a perfect clone of the old school Mini Orracle, fitted with a pump kit and Check It parts. The pump kit is machined aluminum and delrin, butter smooth with deep cuts for a sure grip. Air is fed to the valve via the vertical regulator. The bolt pulls out the back so you can run a pull through squeegee clean through the entire action of the marker in seconds. Genuine Check It parts on the marker includes a Check It Unimount On/ Off ASA, Check It Autococker Ball Detent and Check It 2K+ Autococker Slick Bolt with Delrin Pull Pin. A 14 inch 2 piece .689 barrel helps put the paint downrange, though like all traditional Autocockers the ball rests ahead of the detent in the barrel (the detent is there to prevent doublefeeding, not rollouts). Thus, it is recommended to invest in a few barrels of various bore sizes or to invest in a kit such as the Smart Parts Freak or WGP Kaner Kit. The feedneck is threaded and will accept the whole range of aftermarket Autococker threaded feednecks.
New to our inventory is a selection of hard parts from one of the oldest and most respected names in paintball, Bob Long Technologies. Bob Long has been in paintball forever… I remember him at a field I visited in 1989. He started off doing custom versions of other manufacturer’s markers and equipment before designing his own. The Intimidator was the marker that pushed him to the top and he continues to crank out more designs such as the latest Gen 5 ‘Timmies’ such as the Protege and Vice as well as the groundbreaking Marq platform and super hot scenario M-Tac.
While best known for his shooters, Bob Long and company are less known for their quality hard parts. Made from high quality materials and machined to very tight tolerances, each piece fills a niche that almost every player needs. One other fact about Bob Long’s hard parts sets them apart from the majority of the paintball industry… THEY ARE MADE IN THE USA! Bob Long insists on this. He could outsource to cheaper labor and materials but he refuses to lose any of the quality control he has built his reputation on by using select US machinists. First up is the Bob Long Gear Drive ASA. One new trend is the rail-less ASA which bolts directly to the gripframe without needing a second piece as a mount. The problem in the past has been that the frame screws needed to go through so the ASA tended to be rather long, heavy and with small air passages that could constrict pressure flow. Bob Long fixed that by developing the Xpress Mount. This system puts two stainless steel threaded posts into your gripframe first. Then you slide on the ASA and secure it with two side-tapped set screws. This allowed Bob Long to slim down the ASA and still retain structural integerity. The macroline fitting is a straight model attached to the front and goes through the on/ off knob. The knob is geared inside for a smooth action that doesn’t bind up under pressure. In other words, you can still easily turn your pressure on or off even with paint-slick fingers! The Gear Drive ASA is available in Polished or Dust finishes.
Of course, some people still want to use their favorite ASA or want a few more options of where to mount their tank. We now have three models of Bob Long rails to accommodate your needs! For those players who want a low profile mount right under their gripframe their is the Bob Long Dovetail ASA Rail Mount. Machined from aluminum with great attention to detail, this mount accepts the frame screws through the bottom first, then you slide the ASA on. Unlike similar designs that are prone to cracking, Bob Long left more metal in the middle of the mount for strength. A side tapped set screw secures our ASA and your air tank to the marker for a lightweight, low profile set up.
Some people need the tank a little more forward, whether its because of shorter arms or just wanting a better balance. For those players there is the Bob Long Xpress Mount Horn Drop Dropforward Rail. This mount utilizes the Xpress Mount system again to make room for the dovetail section to be moved forward. This places your ASA and tank approximately 1″ forward and 1/2″ down, placing the center of weight more under your hand and not towards your shoulder. With better balance your wrist does less work and thus less fatigue.
Drop forwards are often frowned upon by the ‘tournament’ crowd, but for the wrong reasons. In their quest for ‘high speed low drag’, they have forgotten that long-term comfort is often more important than short term comfort, small and tight configurations. The huge dropforwards of yesteryear are a hinderance and no longer necessary because of today’s smaller HPA tanks. However, many player’s still need small to mid sized dropforwards for proper fit. A good example is my wife, who at 5 foot 3 inches can’t reach the foregrip of her marker with a 68ci tank on there unless she has a mid-sized drop forward installed! It also helps younger players by moving the center of balance between their hands so they aren’t working to just keep the marker level. For these players there is the Bob Long Dovetail Mount Mid Drop Dropforward. This quality built dropforward locates the tank forward 2 1/2″ and down about 1 1/2″. This is a comfortable placement for probably 95% of the players out there. The Mid Drop is extensively milled both for looks and to reduce weight. One set screw located in an easy to reach position secures your favorite ASA to the dovetail rail.
Everyone makes feednecks these days, but not all are created equal. Some are good and some are awful. Bob Long Lever Lock Feednecks are a step above the ‘good’ category. Every cut, carve and thread on each of these feednecks I have seen are perfect! The locking lever utilizes purpose-built screws and a brass pivot that fitted to the lever arm. This allows a smooth lock and release without binding or the edges grinding under tension. Metal is cut away where it can be spared but left in place where its needed. In the quest for lighter weight I’ve been seeing a lot of snapped feednecks coming through our pro shop so I appreciate a little thought into making things that last. we currently stock the Lever Lock Feednecks in threads for the older model Smart Parts Ion/ SFT Shocker, the new Smart Parts thread (Ion XE, NXT, Eos) and in Dye thread (DM series, Proto Matrix, Rail and SLG).
At Paintball-Online we stopped carrying most aftermarket bolts for the Smart Parts Ion/ Ion XE. They were no better than the stock bolt and were snapping left and right. However, the Bob Long Ion Pillow Bolt made the grade and is now part of our catalog. Bob Long designed the Pillow Bolt for his top of the line Marq series markers and the technology has trickled down to the Ion. The design features a cushioned rubber ‘pillow’ at the face of the bolt to lessen the impact of the bolt contacting the paintball. Rather than slamming a fragile paintball with what is essentially a high speed cookie cutter, the ball instead is pushed along on a shock absorber from breech to barrel. This reduces breakage when shooting even the fragilest tournament paintball or when playing in cold winter conditions that turns paintshell brittle. I put one in my Ion, then in my wife’s Ion and now I recommend it as an essential upgrade!
One last piece of Bob Long parts that has been in out catalog awhile but deserves mention is the Bob Long Filtered Fill Valve. This is another must-have that I installed on mine and my wife’s HPA tanks. These are precision machined fill nipples with a threaded dust cap. The cap screwsin place and is held tight by a friction-providing O ring. No more lost caps! The fill nipple itself is hardened for strength and has a replaceable filter to keep dirt, metal shaving and other debris from entering, preventing damage to the seals of your tank regulator and marker. The last fill nipple you will ever buy!
Bob Long continues to lead the paintball industry in design and innovation. Bob Long has played and won at every level and every style of paintball and won’t sell anything he wouldn’t use himself. You can’t go wrong with any Bob Long product!
This winter has been the Battle of the Loaders, one piece of equipment that virtually every paintballer needs and depends on. A loader needs to feed quickly and reliably, stand up to abuse and have a motor that can stand up to long periods of running under tension without burning up. Weight is a serious consideration as well, because a couple of ounces doesn’t seem like much until you’ve been packing a marker all day long. While a war of marketing has been going on by two manufacturer’s over their new loaders, there’s another loader that’s been flying under the media radar but gathering a cult following… the Pinokio.
The Pinokio Loader was designed with the big game/ scenario player in mind but has been showing up on the markers of well-known tournament players such as and Nicky Cuba of the LA Ironmen and Team Destiny. Due to its unusual shape its scorned by some players… then again, so was the VLocity and HALO when they first came out! We just brought the Pinokio in to stock so I decided to delve a little more into them… and was pleasantly surprised.
Let’s get one thing straight from the beginning… the Pinokio is not a Ricochet! While OEM’d from the same factory and sharing some components from the now-defunct loader company, the Pinokio is quite different. Paintballs feed down into a carousel where they are indexed between four soft paddle arms. A flexible flap sensor extends in the feed path. When the sensor is up the motor turns on until the feedneck is stacked with paint, holding the sensor in the down position. The soft paddles doesn’t so much forcefeed as it shuttles paint into the feed path, alleviating the ‘soup maker syndrome’ other forcefeed loaders often have with brittle paintballs. Its a simple system without eyes to get dirty or misaligned.
A quick word about the servo motor. This unit was originally designed for remote control scale racing boats… its sealed very well! I chatted with the designer of the Pinokio today, who told me that not only do they routinely demo the Pinokio running underwater but that they’ve actually used a loader to blend margaritas. While I don’t recommend this (using it as a blender, not the margaritas), I mention it because a little rain isn’t going to shut down the loader. The motor is rated to 37 volts, but the Pinokio only uses two 9 volt batteries. No worries about overloading and burning it out as the motor is never even close to being run at full power. The manufacturer’s claim is 30 BPS… while I don’t have the equipment to properly refute this claim, I will say that you will be hard pressed to outrun this loader short of a very irresponsible and dangerous ramping setting on your trigger !
The body is where the Pinokio derives its obvious name. The shell of the loader is in four pieces: left body, right body, battery door and nose cone. The nose cone slides on via two grooves in the sides and secures in place by a spring loaded latch. Two noses cones are provided, Stage 1 and Stage 2. The Stage 1 nose cone is a traditional loader shape for a capacity of 250 balls. Most other competitors max out at 170-190 balls. Stage 2 is an elongated cone that extends out the front for an insane 400 ball count!
Now before you judge the looks of this, think about the possibilities… it takes no tools and about 10 seconds to switch between cones. Imagine you are playing in the woods, fighting your way to a fort which you need to take and then hold. You use Stage 1 for mobility on the way there, then switch to Stage 2 for when you need to lay down some serious paint in defense. Nothing stops your opponents like a never ending stream of paint coming at them. The Pinokio will hold almost three full 140 round pods! Some back players on speedball fields are picking up on the Pinokio in Stage 2 as well. The long nose cone is still the same target area when viewed from the front and even from a bit of an angle you’re still going to get nailed in the hard goggles. They can go over twice as long off the break without reloading or even need to reload at all in shorter three man formats where you rarely shoot more than three pods.
The battery door slides on and locks in place without tools. The body lines are designed to add structural integrity to the overall shell and make wiping hits off between games easy and fast. The lid snaps down like the older Halos and will accept most feed gate systems like the CORE Halo Speed Collar and the Virtue Crown. One button turns the Pinokio on and off, recessed into the rear of the body where it won’t break or accidentally get turned off.
You’ll hear many players who’ve never actually seen a Pinokio in person complain how ‘big’ they are. Big? With a Stage 1 nose cone the Pinokio is virtually the same height and length as a Halo B/ Reloader B and less height than a standard VLocity. It is longer than the VLocity but not as wide.
Want yet another awesome stat? The Pinokio with Stage 1 nose cone and two 9 volt batteries weighs in at 1 pound ! Stage 2 complete with batteries weighs in at 1 pound 3 oz. Compare that to the Halo B’s 1 pound 8.4oz or the VLocity’s 1 pound 2.4oz. (Thanks to Mike at TechPB for the weights)
While the Pinokio is a bit more expensive than most loaders it is surely not the most expensive either. What you’re getting is an insanely light, crazy fast loader with the ability to quickly increase ball capacity to the scenario equivalent of a heavy machine gun. Designed for rec ballers but getting noticed by speedballers, the Pinokio is a solid investment to compliment your marker.
JT has released the QLS Goggle system this year, featuring the new Quick Lens System. Rather than breaking your thumbs getting the lens and tabs into a rubber channel the lens sits wide over the leading edge of the mask. A large circular tab on the inside of the goggle turns to lock or unlock the goggle lens in place quickly and easily. The end result is a secure lens placement that anyone can switch out quickly and painlessly. This means easier cleaning and replacement which lead to safer paintball play.
This year has so far seen the release of the JT QLS Carnivore, Carnivore Full Headshield, the QLS Reaper and now the JT QLS Status Paintball Goggle System.
The JT QLS Carnivore Paintball Goggle System and JT QLS Carnivore Full Head Shield Paintball Goggle System are the budget end of the QLS spectrum. They are more rigid than the others, being made of a denser material that provides solid impact protection but flexes enough that it doesn’t feel like you have a bucket on your head. A great goggle for those trying to save money but want a quality paintball goggle.
The JT QLS Reaper Goggle System is more streamlined than the Carnivore, utilizing a 2 part face shield that combines a structural framework and gel overlay for bounce and color. The gel overlay can be removed for cleaning, something Ive never seen in a goggle system before. Available in Black, Red or Blue and have proven to be a very popular goggle.
The JT Status Paintball Goggle System represents the highest level of the QLS series. I’m thoroughly impressed with this goggle. They are lightweight and very comfortable as they flex to fit virtually any head out there. The black and color sections are fused together with different densities of material. This way you get support to keep close range paintball impact from giving you a fat lip, yet it has enough ‘give’ to provide you that extra bounce or two that can make the difference between winning or losing.
The ear pieces are the same gel material and are incredibly comfortable. The JT Status goggle is available in basic Black, Dynasty Blue (when you’re the winningest team in paintball, one of your main sponsors will make everything in your team color!) and a subdued Olive which is proving to be very popular for the woodsballers.
Here’s one that slipped by all the watchdogs until the last minute. BT or “Battle Tested” kept this project under wraps throughout its entire development, even when I was at the invite-only special dealer’s exhibition this spring. I knew something was up because as I was sitting in the BT display room I could hear my reps saying to their supervisor in the hallway, “Can we show him? Can we at least show him the picture on the box?”. Obviously something big was afoot, and this month we got to see the unveiling of the BT TM7 Paintball Marker.
Usually when people think milsim/ woodsball guns they imagine a blowback marker. While a fine design it does have drawbacks in the performance category. Since BT is a sister company to Invert, both being under the Kee Action Sports banner, they took the proven system of the Invert Mini Paintball Marker and wrapped it in a milsim-inspired body of one of the hottest submachineguns in the world, the MP7. Of course, the first one in our warehouse had my name all over it and now its time to put it through the paces.
The packaging is top notch. It came in a sturdy box with foam cutouts for all the parts. I mention this because packaging is where some manufacturers cut corners and I hate opening something up only to see the parts scuffed and scattered during transit because nothing fit right. Besides the marker, barrel and feedneck you get a quality barrel cover, a well written manual and a tidy spare parts kit consisting of a nice plastic case with a Duracell 9vt battery, a change of o-rings and major screws, stock plug, ball detents and springs and grease.
Lifting it out of the box the first impression is “wow, this thing is light!”. The entire body and gripframe is manufactured from glass filled nylon, not plastic as everyone likes to think. If you have any doubts as to its strength or integerity, consider that its the very same material that most military weapon stocks and grips are made from. ‘Nuff said. Tactical rails abound, across the entire length of the top, under the barrel and two bolted on rails on either side of the barrel. What I like about these side rails is that they are slightly raised so you can run your pressure switch wiring underneath them.
A folding foregrip is included for the front rail. The stock is the same unit as on the BT Delta and BT Delta Elite. A plug is included if you wish to remove the stock. A 9 inch barrel with flash hider milling is included. By the way, the shroud at the front is 1 inch in diameter. I tried Smart Parts, LAPCO and Stiffi barrels on the TM7 and they all were a snug but solid fit! An easy to reach thumb selector switch is on the left side with four positions for Safe, Semi, PSP (Three semi shots then 3 round burst) and NXL (3 semi shots then full auto). The battery door reminded me of old school 12vt Revolution loaders, its a sliding plastic door that takes all of 10 seconds for battery changes… Brilliant!
The feedneck is the same unit as on all other BTs. It slides on and is slightly offset right so you can sight down the top of the marker, though with a loader on there isn’t much clearance for a red dot or optical sight so you might want to consider the BT 45 Degree Offset Sight Rail if you use one. The feedneck slides forward to expose the breech for easy access cleaning. A word on the BT Rip Clip Electronic Loader… it will not fit the TM7 at this time, though I’ve heard of an adapter in the works.
A word about the regulator/ ASA. As the TM7 is derived from the Mini design the ASA and regulator are one unit. They are preset to 200psi and you leave it alone! The air pressure is routed up through the gripframe so there are no external hoses. The TM7 is designed for use with compressed air (HPA) only… using CO2 will void your warranty! You can use a high output preset system, but a low output (400-450psi) output system is recommended.
Gassed it up, slapped my 45/4500 tank and Halo on there and took it out behind the warehouse for its initial spin. The trigger feel takes a little getting used to because there is no microswitch, just a Hall Effect sensor so there is no resistance when the activation point is reached and the marker fires. Wow, this thing is fun! It has a bit more recoil than some other electropneumatics but not nearly that of a blowback. Staying on target for quick follow up shots is no problem at all. The sound signature is a bit louder than some as well but again, its certainly quieter than most of the competition! A more heavily ported barrel will help with that if you want to quiet it down some. Switching between modes is as easy as a flick of the thumb. I put half a case of Core Prime Paintballs through it in minutes and didn’t chop any balls nor had any barrel breaks. This thin is going to see some serious use here in the near future.
One thing I’m changing out is the folding foregrip. Really, its not a bad unit but it does have a little bit of wobble to it that I personally find distracting (but I’m also very particular and obsessed with paintball gadgets!). I originally figured I’d put one of our Ergonomic Foregrips on there but then I remembered that I had a BT M16 Magazine Kit laying around from a previous project. Thirty seconds later and boom!… a mock magazine kit that forms a new foregrip and looks mean!
The Smart Parts NXT Shocker platform is still going strong, proving to be a reliable and easy to maintain paintball marker. The Shocker has won more championships than any other marker from the sleek airball fields of the NPPL to the gritty woods fields of the SPPL.
Just to spice things up a bit, they’ve made the Shocker NXT available with some sweet laser engraving from Modefy’d. Formerly Hybrid and home to Contract Killer clothing, Modefy’d carries on the custom laser engraving tradition of Hybrid to give some style and attitude to your paintball marker. Normally costing about $150 and requiring shipping your marker in for 3-4 weeks, you can now pick up a Modefy’d Laser Engraved Shocker NXT already engraved right out of the box. Saves you playing time and $50.
We currently have two styles, ‘El Gluucha’ and ‘Vines’. El Gluucha features a twist on the popular fashion patterns, with winged skulls and barbed wire. Vines have a flowing skull motif. Both feature what my wholesale rep Dennis loved engraved on the reg, “Let Them Hate As Long As They Still Fear”… words to live by on the tournament field!
How’s everyone doing? I took a little time off of writing on here to get caught up on important projects for the company but now I’m back and have a full plate as there is a ton of cool new stuff to show everyone.
Today is all Proto. They hit a homerun this year with the Proto Matrix PM8. They added a bunch of new features like the improved self-cleaning eye system from the DM series, relocated the LPR, cut away below the barrel and threw in the tiny Hyper 3 reg for a slim front and of course the much-loved Ultralite Frame, all for the lowest price a new model Proto Matrix ever debuted for!
They rolled it out in five basic colors, but since there are always those players that need to be different from the rest they are releasing limited runs of special edition colors over the next few months. Each color run is limited to 100 markers each so if you like a particular one you better grab it quick! The first two Limited Edition colors are the Proto Matrix 8 Grasshopper and the Proto Matrix 8 Blue Steel. The Grasshopper is a beautiful light olive with champagne parts and the Blue Steel is a classy battleship blue with silver parts.
Many were bummed when it was announced that the Camo Proto Matrix Rail was discontinued. Well, Proto decided to do another run of this much sought-after marker! The Camo PMR SE, with its unique drip ‘n’ splatter camo finish, also includes an improved clamping feedneck, aluminum bolt cap, aluminum Edge trigger and Edge trigger guard. Get’m while you can!
We just got in the new EPS Sic Series Spectra Goggle Frames from JT Sports. Debuted at the Huntington Beach NPPL event, these will fit any JT Spectra mask, be it a Proshield, Proflex, nForcer, Flex 8, or Flex 8 Full Head Shield. These feature the ever classic banadana print in blue, red or yellow to add a touch of style to your favorite paintball mask as well as come with a smoke thermal lens. Coming soon will be the Dynasty Dragon print and Miami Rage patterns as well.
Site Mfg is a company that makes OEM carbon fiber products for industrial and miltary equipment, and a few years ago they broke onto the paintball scene with Stiffi Carbon Fiber Paintball Barrels. In the quest for lighter weight aluminum can only be shaved so far down before it loses its structural integrity. Carbon fiber is so featherlight it has to be held to be believed yet still rigidity and strength. It is resistant to thermal expansion, meaning expansion or contraction due to heat or cold is negligible.
The carbon fiber barrels have a slick finish internally and are step bored with a smaller bore towards the breech for compression to get the paintball to velocity, then expanding to .695″ at the muzzle. This boring creates less drag and friction on the paintball and combined with the smooth finish helps shoot through broken paint. Often it just takes a couple of shots to blow most paint splooge out the muzzle so you can get back to reasonable accuracy without stopping to squeegee out the barrel, keeping you focused on your opponents and not your marker.
The carbon shaft are attached to precision machined aluminum backs. For the one piece barrels the shafts and backs are permanently attached and the back is machined to a stated inner diameter such as .689, .691 etc. For their multi diameter Stiffi Switch Kit the backs are machined to size and threaded to accept the Switch tip fronts. Even with the aluminum backs Stiffi barrels are insanely lightweight… the 23 inch model is only 3 ounces!
One common misconception about carbon fiber barrels is they crack or that the muzzles can get easily damaged. Well, I wouldn’t say its impossible but you would have to go way out of your way to damage a Stiffi… basically, you’d destroy any barrel with what it would take! One thing you do not want to do is use a fluffy swab or other fiber squeegee, as the carbon tends to grab the fibers and the results will be a permanent fuzz on the inside of your barrel! Only use rubber or silicon pull throughs and stick squeegees… however, given the nature of the finish and step boring you won’t need to do this too often.
We currently have Stiffi Carbon Fiber Paintball Barrels for most popular threads and diameters in 12, 14 and 16 inch lengths. There is also the crazy long Stiffi Carbon Fiber 23Inch Tippmann Sniper Barrel… don’t laugh. These are only 3 ounces and are truly one of the most quiet barrels I’ve ever heard! I have always said that 20+ inch barrels do have a specific advantage in many situations and one is to be able to spear the barrel through branches and leaves to take stealthy shots while remaining hidden and behind protective cover. This is the ultimate barrel for that role.
We also have the Stiffi Switch Kits in several popular lengths and barrel threads. Pick the overall length and thread that you desire and you get 4 sizing breeches to match up any paintball you need to shoot, ensuring the best possible accuracy.
If you already have a pre-existing Custom Products or Smart Parts Freak Barrel Kit and want to lighten up your marker you can get a Stiffi Stif-Tip for Custom Products or Smart Parts barrel kits and 2 piece barrels.
Site Mfg has been producing and refining the Stiffi Carbon Fiber Paintball Barrels over these last several years and have created one of the most desired barrels in paintball today, used by recreational, woodsball and scenario players like the Psycho Clown Posse as well as top tournament teams such as Stockholm Joy and Miami Rage. Yes, they are not cheap… but the most advanced toys in life seldom are !
