Empire Apex Barrel Kit

This specific kit is threaded for Tippmann A5 markers. Please verify your marker's thread type before purchasing, as this barrel will not fit markers with different threading, such as Autococker or Spyder threads.

The ramp switch applies backspin or sidespin to the paintball as it exits the barrel. By adjusting the switch through its nine positions, you can manipulate the trajectory to create drop shots, hook shots around bunkers, or flatter, longer-distance shots.

Not at all. The barrel features a tool-less disassembly design, allowing you to quickly take it apart in the field to clear out paint or debris without needing any extra equipment.

Actually, this barrel is not rifled. It relies on the adjustable ramp system to control the ball's spin and trajectory rather than traditional rifling, which is generally ineffective for paintballs due to their fragile, liquid-filled nature.

A 14-inch barrel is a standard length that offers a good balance between maneuverability and accuracy. It is long enough to provide stability for aiming but short enough to keep your marker profile compact for tight corners.
