Psiworx Pro-Connect III Remote Line

The Psiworx Pro-Connect Remote Line Fitting has been around for years. It's been a stable part of many a remote line owned by players who are 'in the know'. Adding a fitting to your remote line that costs almost as much as the line itself? I know it may sound crazy, but if you've experienced the benefits like the thousands who've used the Pro-Connect in the past, you'd never run a remote line again without it.

Pro-Connect III Remote Fitting


The Pro-Connect III Paintball Fitting replaces the quick-disconnect and slide check fittings. Easily bleed your air system safely without rupturing orings or internal remote line parts. Ever experience shoot-down when using high rates of fire? That has to do with airflow restriction caused by the system and it's fittings. The Pro-Connect III features a larger internal orifice which helps to virtually eliminate the dreaded shootdown. Testing shows the Pro-Connect III can easily keep up with a Tippmann A5 or Smart Parts Ion firing at 20 bps. Also, the ProConnect features tooless maintainence and/or parts replacement. That means there's no need to replace your leaking slide check or quick-disconnect fitting ever again!

Below is a youtube video illustrating the performance gain of using the Pro-Connect III as part of your remote line setup. It works in conjunction with just about any paintball remote line on the market today. Search for 'Pro-Connect II' on youtube to view other info videos.

Easier Way to Camo Your Paintball Gun!

If you search in any paintball forum anywhere on the web, we'll guarantee there is a post somewhere asking a question regarding camouflage. Most want to know how they can camo their paintball marker without too much hassle and/or damaging the finish on their gun. There is a solution out there that's been used for years by hunting and special forces worldwide. The CamoForm Camouflage Wrap has some serious advantages over simply painting your gun with camo paint.

McNett Camo Form Camouflage


I suppose you could call it a 'tape' but you'd be implying two things. First, normal 'tape' will almost always leave a messy residue on the finish of the marker. Also, the lifecycle of tape is usually one application. That is not the case with CamoForm Camo Wrap. The Camo Form adheres to the application surface while leaving no residue once removed. Removal does not involve disposal as all. Camo Wrap can be removed, cleaned or dried and reapplied! Now that's what we call 'green', ACU green that is.

Camo Form Wrap is easy to apply. Below is an instructional video with some installation tips to help you get the most out of every roll. Camo your paintball gun, tank, stock, scope and field gear. You wear camo and so should your gear! Don't let your equipment give away your position again.



Camo Form Camouflage Wrap is available through ROCKSTAR Tactical in various colors such as MossyOak, Woodland and ACU.

Tippmann SL-68 II New Release of an Old Favorite

Tippmann has re-released an earlier woodsball favorite that is sure to be a hit once again. The Tippmann SL-68 is a semi-auto, pump action marker that requires no traditional cocking. Just add a hopper full of paint, air tank then pump the front grip and fire away.

The new SL-68 II features an anti-double pump control. The 11" barrel adds to the accuracy and increased distance. The ribbed front grip and trigger frame aid in comfort and control. The body is made from solid cast aluminum and the internals are corrosion resistent. Built-in front and rear rings make adding a sling a breeze. The top features a sight rail for adding scopes and the integrated feedneck works with nearly all standard hoppers. The grip also features a built-in tank adapter for adding constant air for non-pump action. The SL-68 also has auto-receiving for faster firing. This allows the user to hold the trigger and pump for continuous firing. A gravity-fed 200rd hopper is included.

We've added a ton of new products to the website lately. Stop by our New Arrivals category to see the latest woodsball products to hit the store. The new BT Front and Rear Sights are in stock and shipping. They offer an easy way to add peep sights to any paintball gun with standard, top rail space.

Killjoy Industries APR Adjustable Picatinny Rail

Scopes are a favorite tactical accessory for most woodball gun owners. A good red dot sight can center your focus on one objective for a more controlled shot. The issue with the use of scopes in paintball concerns the inherit flight path of a paintball once it's shot from the gun. At varying distances, most paintballs will lose velocity and arch towards the ground. This can also happen with the use of some gases such as CO2 when a high rate of fire is sustained.

Killjoy Industries has released another innovative product that most paintball scope users are going to love. The Killjoy Adjustable Picatinny Rail (APR) is really two products in one. First it acts as a riser mount allowing your scope or red dot sight to sit 1.5" higher on your top receiver rail. This is important for issues such as 'goggle clearance' when using a rear stock on your marker. Also, the top scope rail is adjustable to help compensate for drop-off. Simply adjust the scope from 0-5 degrees using the front thumb screw and lock it in place using the side screw. This allows you to compensate for the down arch of a paintball as it begins to lose velocity at varying distances.

Killjoy Adjustable Picatinny Rail

The Killjoy Adjustable Picatinny Rail is about 4" long and works well paintball guns that have a top picatinny style rail on the receiver (Tippmann X7, US Army Project Salvo or even the Tippmann A5 with the Tippmann Flattop Rail). Its beautifully machined from durable aluminum and anodized dust black with silky smooth mechanics. Checkout the APR and other innovative paintball products from Killjoy Industries available through ROCKSTAR Tactical.

Shooter Series Paintball Gloves

Regardless of weather conditions, having a good pair of paintball gloves is a must. Paintball gloves keep your hands warm and quick in the cold days of winter. They also provide a pair of sweaty, dirty hands a better grip during the dog days of summer.

There are two factors to consider when looking for the right glove. You need a breathable glove that will provide some warmth, yet allow your hands to vent in hot conditions. Also, you need paintball gloves that are made of thinner material with minimal finger restriction for optimal shooting.

The new
Shooter Series Paintball Gloves have the best of both worlds. The palm is reinforced with Amara synthetic leather that extends over the finger tips. The back of the hand is made from a nylon spandex material that allows your hand to vent in warmer playing conditions. The glove is secured to the wrist via a velco loop to ensure a solid fit. Suitable for all weather conditions, these gloves dry fast in rain or snow.

Paintball Gloves - ACU

The Shooter Series Paintball Gloves are currently available in black, coyote, acu and olive drab. Sizes include Medium, Large and XL. 2XL gloves are on the way and should be in stock by the end on the month.
