Tippmann. One of the most humongus names in paintball. Does this mean there must be something to this paintball rifling?
NO.
It means Tippmann sold out. Went with the money.
Big business.
Notice the first release of the barrel is for the A5 and X7. It's no secret that sales are dragging on both these models. No doubt this sexy barrel is an attempt to rejuice sales. The simple, reliable, don't mess with me M98 is doing fine right now. The Straight Line will follow later for it.
