Hammerhead Paintball Barrel Fins

Hammerhead Paintball now offers Hammerhead Barrel owners the ability to purchase the barrel back 'fin' of their choice to match different bore paint. Fins are available in .679, .683, .686, .688 and .690. Hammerhead fins are universal for the Hammerhead line of barrels. Use any fin on the Battlestikxx, Bangstikxx, Sharktooth or even the Straightline Barrel. Although fins are universal as a barrel back to the Hammerhead line, they are specific to the paintball gun they thread into. ROCKSTAR Tactical now has the entire line of individual fins available for Tippmann 98 and Tippmann A5/X7 paintball guns.

Hammerhead Barrel Fins

Hammerhead barrels are known for their accuracy stemming from their patented rifling process. The redesigned product line also features reversed ported muzzle breaks. The Hammerhead Muzzle Breaks thread onto the end of the barrel. Like the fin kits, the muzzles are interchangeable between Hammerhead barrels. The muzzles not only create a smooth transition for paintballs as they travel from the tip of the barrel, but the reverse porting helps project the sound back to the shooter. This reduces the sound of the shot projected at the shooter's opponent.

Python Paintball Compression Barrel Kits

Python Paintball has released an innovative new product that will allow just about any barrel to match the bore of the paintballs being used. The new Python Paintball Compression Kit features a barrel adapter that threads to the rear of your paintball barrel. Compression Kits are specific to the barrel thread that works with your gun. Once the Python adapter is threaded to your barrel, you insert one of the included compression sleeves. The correct sleeve is the one that matches the bore of your paintball. Python includes 4 sleeves in various bore sizes: .679, .682, .685 and .688. This allows just about any paintball barrel to match the paint that's being used. Paint-to-barrel matching is one of the most important factors in paintball accuracy and efficiency. Python has now made it easier for lower end barrels to achieve the same results as barrel kits costing $100+. Python Compression kits are available for the Tippmann A5/x7, Tippmann 98, Autococker, Ion (Impulse) and Spyder threaded barrels.

Python Paintball has also released an alumium 45 degree elbow. Actually one of the only of it's kind, the Python Aluminum Elbow replaces the plastic elbows that commonly crack or break over use. Get a Python Elbow and never break another elbow again. Look for all the Python Paintball products now available through ROCKSTAR Tactical.

Kingman Training (KT) 11mm Paintball Pistols

Kingman has produced some of the most innovative paintball products over the last 15 years. Their newest venture is the KT (Kingman Training) line of 11mm Paintball Pistols. The new 0.43 caliber paintballs are a big departure from the standard .68 balls. While other 11mm guns on the market have adapted air-soft technology, the KT pistols use true paintball internals.

Kingman Training Eraser and Chaser Pistols

The secret behind Kingman's new line is the patented Reverse Striker Valve Assembly. It not only allows the KT pistols to shoot up to 250 fps, but with an air efficiency of 80 shots per 12 gram! The pistols are normal sized guns with the perfect weight and feel. They have an effective range of about 120ft with solid accuracy at 60ft.

The flagship pistol is the
KT 11mm Eraser. This is Kingman's all-aluminum pistol. It weights in at 2.4lbs. The KT 11mm Chaser is constructed of both aluminum and polymer, weighing in at 1.9lbs. Both the Eraser and Chaser paintball pistols come with 2 - 12g CO2 cartridges, 100 - 11mm paintballs, a squeegee and barrel blocking device.

The KT pistols require 11mm (.43 caliber) paintballs. Kingman offers the paint in both 200 and 500 round containers. Colors are orange or yellow. Spare 9 round mags are also available in twin packs.

Tiberius First Strike Sniper Rounds

You may have heard in either chat forums or seen the youtube videos of Tiberius' new First Strike Sniper Rounds. These paintball rounds are a departure from the traditional paintball as we all know it. The new sniper round is still a .68 caliber ball. The unique feature is the stabilization fin at the rear of the ball. The skirt-like fin is responsible for the increase in both accuracy and range over traditional paintballs. Tiberius is reporting an accuracy gain 25 times that of traditional paintballs with a range increase of 50%!

The Sniper Round uses a brittle shell made of polystyrene. Tiberius states that the shell is less likely to be affected by changes in temperature, humidity and sunlight. The inside fill is thicker than most, offering solid marking, good visibility and resistance to wiping.

The Sniper Rounds will be available soon for use in both the Tiberius Arms T8 and T9 paintball guns. In order to shoot the rounds, a First Strike Conversion Kit will be required for both the T8 and T9. The kit will include everything you need to make your pistol or rifle compatible to shoot the Sniper Rounds.

Tiberius Arms First Strike Sniper Paintball

Expected arrival dates for the Tiberius Arms First Strike products is about 2 weeks. We'll post more info, including more specific available times, when they become available to us from Tiberius.

JCS Red Hot Powertube - 98 Platinum Series

JCS (Jet City Specialties) has been in the business of making quality Tippmann replacement parts for years now. Recently, JCS set their sights on the new Tippmann 98 Platinum Series line of paintball markers. Now Platinum owners have an option to replace the stock plastic tube with an aftermarket all-metal version. Tippmann put a updated powertube in the new Platinum series markers. Therefore the platinum series powertube will not work with previous versions of the 98 paintball guns. The Platinum Series Red Hot Powertube is made from red anodized, aircraft aluminum. It offers a tighter seal and more reliable performance than it's plastic stock counterpart. Will this increase the performance of your marker? Probably not. Aluminum powertubes offer a reliability upgrade more so than a performance upgrade. The metal hole on the aluminum Red Hot tube offers a much tigher hold on your velocity set screw than the plastic tube. This means your velocity stays at where you set it.

JCS Red Hot Platinum Series Powertube

JCS also includes a newly updated Hexadecagon Front Bolt with all their powertube kits. The latest version of the JCS-famed front Tippmann bolt is now made of Lexan. This creates a bolt that is as tough as the old, but lighter than ever.

Don't worry 98 Custom and Custom Pro owners. JCS is still producing their original powertube models for your markers as well.

Lapco M4 Gas-Thru Mag Kit - A5 HE

Lapco is one of the first companies to address the Tippmann A5 HE Selector Switch clearance issue that prevents the frame from working with many of the previous A5 mags on the market. The new A5 Selector Switch Egrip has a larger front tab that interferes with most of the A5 mags on the market designed for non-selector switch models. The M4 Gas-Thru A5 HE Mag Kit has the same features as the original model except the rear is recessed to fit the HE Selector Grip. Thank you Lapco! Hopefully many of the other aftermarket A5 Parts companies will take notice and offer a modified version of their mags as well.

Lapco A5 HE M4 Mag Kit

Rhythm Innovations also continues to work on new products for Selector Switch owners. Their latest trigger is the HE Selector Switch Double Trigger Kit and it works on both the A5 and X7 Selector Switch Trigger Frames. The RI Double Trigger is made from the same high quality aluminum as the rest of Rhythm's lineup. The new trigger's adjustability is just another reason why Rhythm Innovation's triggers are seen on some of the most hardcore scenario and woodsball guns in the world.
