Empire Prophecy Paintball Loader

If you take the most innovative features of all the top paintball loading systems up to this point, you would have something resembling the new Empire Prophecy Loader. It could be the hottest loader ever produced. It has a long, long list of features.

No tools are required to completely disassemble. Change the front body, batteries, lids or even the back plate. Use either the sound activation and/or the Radio Frequency activation. It has 6 speed settings for just about any scenario of play. Comes with a 240rd front cone. The front can be changed to a 200rd or 280rd cone depending on your needs. The heart of the loader is the high torque Magna Drive motor that offers the most reliable feeding to date. The Empire Prophecy includes a low friction delrin drive with the Empire Freeway Antijam and anti-blowback venting. And the list goes on and on...

We will have a limited number of Empire Prophecy loaders available. We are currently taking pre-orders on the website. The loaders have an estimated delivery date of the end of the first week in December. The Prophecy will be available in both Black and Smoke. Optional parts will be available in the upcoming months. Reserve your Empire Prophecy Hopper today.

TechT Paintball Gun Drops gun lube

Just when you think the boys (and 'girl') at TechT Paintball are getting lazy they breakout with more cutting edge products destined to change paintball forever. Do you guys sleep? The latest release is something we've all been longing for. TechT's success with their Gun Sav lube has led to the development of what may become the top paintball oil in the biz: TechT Paintball Gun Drops.

TechT's 'Gun Drops' is specially formulated to be ultra-slick providing superior lube to your paintball gun's internal parts. TechT's Gun Drops is thicker than most oils on the market. This thickness allows the oil to really coat the parts without creating drag like thick grease that coats and clogs. Another cool feature of the Gun Drops is the eye-dropper like dispenser. It allows you to control the flow and direction of the lube. This reduces waste and spilling. Oh, yeah and reduces GEAR BAG oil disasters. The dropper top locks tight unlike other oil bottles on the market. Thanks TechT... no more paintball gear oil baths!

BTW... TM7 and Mini owners will love the new BT TM7 Spring Kit also fresh from the TechT factory. This 3 piece kit offers springs of varying tension to adjust gun pressure and dwell. Must have tweaking tool for either BT TM-7 or Invert Mini owners.

Checkout all the TechT Paintball products at the the ultra-cool TechT Paintball website.

Top Paintball Items for Christmas 2008

The 2008 Christmas season is upon us. We figured a 'top products' post was in order for those of you looking for a 'can't miss' gift for the paintballer on your list. The following paintball items are some of the hottest releases this year that are sure to be top sellers this holiday season.

Tippmann X7 w/ E-Grip - This gun was released this time last year. It has really caught momentum now and stands to be the top seller and paintball gift. Ultra performance and tons of upgrade options are just two of the reasons people have taken to the X7. Great gift for anyone interested in woodsball or recball with a some experience in the sport. Perfect gift for military personal who can appreciate the look and feel of a replica military paintball gun.

Smart Parts SP1 - Smart Parts introduced the world to the Ion a few years back and people took notice once again of this company. Taking tournament level performance and giving it an entry level price turned out to be a killer combination. The SP1 uses many of the features of the Ion in a tactical shell. This gun is seriously sick and the Smart Parts website has videos of the SP1 to prove it! Perfect gift for any recball or woodsball enthusiast who always looks for a technical edge on the competition. The market should boast a seriously large upgrade market for this gun in '09.

Straightline Barrel Kit - By means of a coop between Tippmann and Hammerhead paintball, the Straightline barrel system was born! Utilizing Hammerhead's patented rifling technology, this barrel is destined to have as much as an impact on the paintball community as the famed Flatline. The Straightline kits includes 3 barrel backs for a better 'paint to barrel' match. The reverse ported muzzle break helps to reduce forward projected sound. The Straightline is 16" in length with A5 (X7) threads only. Great gift for the paintballer looking for the ultimate in barrel technology.

BT Apex Barrel - Face it, the Apex is a mainstay in paintball. And with the emergence of Apex Ready Barrels and Apex Adapters from companies such as Lapco, Smart Parts and J&J Performance, the Apex's foothold is even more secure. It's cool design gives the impression of a suppressor or silencer. The Apex's function is truly revolutionary allowing the user to curve shots at different distances up, down, right or left. The Apex has never been more popular and more customizable. Perfect stocking stuffer for any paintballer looking for a secret edge on the field.

Tippmann HE Selector Switch Egrip - Externally adjustable firing mode selection. That is a nice feature that only X7 Egrip owners could enjoy up until now. The new A5 Selector Switch is available as an upgrade to any A5 out there. It features 5 firing modes with the external adjuster capable of safety, semi-auto and a custom selection that the owner can program. The technology is better on this Egrip as well. Tippmann adopted the Hall Effect magnetic trigger into this A5 upgrade previously seen only on the X7 Egrip. This magnetic trigger reduces the mechanical parts required to activate the sear making the egrip more consistent, efficient and breakdown resistent! Have an A5 owner on your list? This is jaw-dropping present that will take any A5 to new levels.

That's just a few of the exciting products available this season. Find them all at ROCKSTAR Tactical. We have the lowest pricing, best selection, secure ordering and ultra fast processing and shipping! Happy Holidays!

JJ Ceramic Apex Adapters

The JJ Ceramic barrels have been a favorite among woodsballers for many reasons. The JJ Ceramic is a great all-around barrel, performing well with most paints at a price that's almost hard to believe. The ceramic coating and matte black finish is the ultimate woodsball combination providing durability and a stealth appearance.

JJ performance has released a new addition to their line-up. The Ceramic Barrel Apex Adapter is a 2.25" add-on that allows for the addition of a BT Apex Tip to the JJ Ceramic Barrel. It is designed using the same material as the ceramic barrels themselves therefore the fit and finish is a perfect match.

The Apex Adapter simply slides over the end of the barrel and is held in place with 3 set screws. It's important not to over tighten the screws; this could damage the screw threads or the barrel itself. We installed one over a strip or two of electrical tape. This provided a surface for the screws to contact without scratching the barrel. You really don't need to over-tighten. If you're worried about the adapter coming loose in the field use a little mild loctite on the set screws before installing them. Use the mild type so that you can remove them later. This will add to the gripping power of the screws and help them resist shaking loose.

The JJ Apex Adapter is milled perfectly to accept the Apex Tip. Simple remove your o-rings from your original BT Apex Barrel, install them on the adapter and then add your Apex Tip. There are 4 screws that secure the two halves of the Apex Tip. Again, don't over tighten these either Superman... snug will do.

J&J states that the adapter can be used on just about any barrel with a 7/8" outer diameter at its end. At $15 that'll save you a lot of time rigging an Apex Tip to your favorite barrel!

Tippmann X7 Expansion Chamber Kit

The new X-7 Expansion Chambers are in. These all-metal mag kits are machined from aircraft grade aluminum. They really give the X7 an authentic, heavier feel that the factory plastic parts do not. Designed in a 20rd M-16 style, this new X7 mag kit is a working expansion chamber.

So what exactly does an expansion chamber do? CO2 is actually liquid. It has to convert into a gas using thermal energy in order to power the marker. An expansion chamber provides more area for CO2 conversion into gas. The result is less liquid CO2 entering the gun. It allows for more consistent pressure resulting in better accuracy and efficiency. It you're running CO2 on your X7 and are tired of the velocity swings, you need this upgrade!

The kit is very easy to add to your X7. It includes everything you need for a complete install: the mag, fittings and airline. Tippmann's instructions are detailed and dead-on as usual. Install takes about 10-15 minutes. The X7 Expansion Chamber is a homerun! Checkout all the latest X7 Upgrades available today through ROCKSTAR Tactical.

Tippmann A5 HE Selector Switch Egrip Gun

New and exciting updates have recently been added to rockstartactical.com. We received our first shipment of Tippmann A5 H.E. Selector Egrip Paintball Guns. These new A5's have the Selector Switch Egrip factory installed by Tippmann. They allow for firing mode changes using the external switch. True 'on the fly' mode selection makes it easier to choose your firing mode in any combat situation. Switch settings include safety, semi-auto and a custom selection that you can program to any 1 of 5 firing modes. The new Hall Effect Trigger is magnetically activated, a departure from mechanical switches. It'll last longer and perform better. The Tippmann A5 w/ Selector Egrip can fire at a blazing 20 ball per second.

Also this week, we finally received the latest version of the
Hammerhead Shark Tooth 8.5" barrel. Hammerhead makes some of the most accurate paintball barrels on the market today. Patented Hammerhead rifling along with the included .688 back fin makes this the hottest shortie barrel to date. Available in both the A5 (X7) and 98 threads, these barrels are perfect for small, compact marker set-ups. If you need a short barrel that's long on accuracy with good distance, the Hammerhead Sharktooth is the best in class. The latest version has a matte black finish that will not reflect light which is crucial to a stealth presence in the woods. Additional fins (backs) can be purchased to accomodate different size paint.

For more information about these high-end rifled barrels, visit
Hammerhead Paintball.
