Difference Between Woodsball and Speedball

Woodsball and Speedball are the two main modes of paintball. And they are different on many levels.

The scenarios are different for both types of games. The equipment you use, and the clothes you wear are all different and you can add in all the other details. But here are the two key differences mentioned below for a general idea.

• Woodsball is played in open fields, mostly with natural scenarios. Fields can have all sorts of trees, bushes, boulders, and some man made huts or so, to provide ambush. On the other hand, speedball is played on tournament fields that are half the size of a football stadium. These stadiums are flat, equally divided between the two teams, and make use of artificial bunkers for the ambush.
• Strategy plays a key role in woodsball. The games are slow paced as compared to speedball. That is the reason most players use mechanical guns. These guns are far more durable and sturdy. Whereas speedball is more about speed and rush firing. Players prefer to use electronic guns for speedy shooting.

Buying Guide To Choose A Good Woodsball Paintball Gun

Now that you know what type of game you are going to play, here is the ultimate buying guide you need to choose the right type of gun for woodsball.

Mechanical or Electronic Marker

There are mainly two types of mechanisms used in paintball markers.

• Mechanical Markers
• Electro-Pneumatic Markers

Mechanical markers usually cost less than electronic markers and they are far more durable. Electronic markers have their uses and they are mostly used for speedball. But as far as woodsball is concerned, a mechanical marker is the best choice.

Although you can use an electronic marker for woodsball if you want to. But there are high chances of it getting damaged because of all that dirt and snow in the fields. This is the reason, sticking to a mechanical marker for woodsball is a wise and cost effective choice.

Durability

No matter what kind of machine you are buying for yourself, the first thing that comes to your mind is: for how long it will stay with you.

Luckily, most mechanical guns are pretty durable. And that is what you are going to need in woodsball. 

Woodsball includes a lot of running around, bumping into trees or boulders, and falling on the ground while doing so. This is the reason a fragile piece of the electronic marker is not going to accompany you to woodsball fields many times. Get yourself a marker that can survive all the tough usage and run wild into those fields.

Accuracy

If you are going to shoot with your gun, it is worth saying here that this gun will shoot accurately. Some guns suck at this point which can cause you not only to lose your game but also your mind at times. 

So, choose the one that has good reviews about its accuracy rate and it will be your best partner in your games.

Caliber

A standard game of paintball requires the usage of a standard .68 caliber paintball gun. Whereas, the low impact paintball guns are made to use .50 caliber balls. Decide beforehand which type of game you intend to play and buy your gun accordingly.

Gas Type

Paintball guns use gas as a source of energy. These guns work either with CO2 or compressed air (HPA). But there are guns available that work on both types of gasses and they are the best. You do not have to worry about which type of gas is available on a certain field as your gun runs on both. Buy a gun that works with both types if you can.

Hopper or Magazine Feed

As you must be aware, you need to feed your gun with paint to shoot. Different types of guns work with different feeding mechanisms. Some guns make use of magazines, while others need a hopper on them to feed paint.

Luckily, some guns work with both, alternatively. These guns may cost you more, but they can save you from buying another gun if you want to switch to the other type later.

Weight and Looks

Looks matter for some and not for others, but most woodsball players prefer realistic looking guns.

Weight matters for everyone. No one likes to get tired under the heavy weight of a gun. That’s why the lighter the better.

Cost

You can get a paintball gun at a wide range of prices. As it is for woodsball, you do not have to buy the electronic stuff, which is usually more expensive. You will find something from 100 to 2000 Dollars for yourself.

5 Best Woodsball Paintball Guns (Reviewed)

Now that you know what you are looking for, below we have listed the best woodsball guns that can become your best partner for years to come.

1. Tippmann TMC Paintball Marker

This is certainly one of the best paintball markers in the industry.

And…

Many experts call it “the best” paintball marker for woodsball.

Continue reading to find out why.

Color	Black, Tan
Material	Metal
Gas Type	CO2
Caliber	.68
Hopper Feed	Yes
Magazine Feed	Yes
Semi/ Full Automatic	Semi Automatic
Electronic/ Mechanical	Mechanical

What’s in the Box?

This gun comes in a cardboard box and inside the box you get the main marker, with a manual, a barrel with a big shroud cover, a packet with a few O rings and Allen keys, and a hopper neck.

Apart from these, you will get two actual magazines and one dummy magazine in the box and that is one of the best things about this marker. We will discuss it in detail later.

Design

As far as the design of this gun is concerned, we have a lot to talk about in this section. 

First of all, this is a dual fed marker, which means you can either use it as a magfed gun if you are playing magfed paintball, or you can run a hopper over it and you are good to go for any kind of woodsball game. 

The magazines coming with this gun are pretty large and you can insert 18 to 20 balls at a time in them.

But, as we mentioned a dummy magazine above, here comes its usage. When you are using it as a hopper fed gun, you need to fix that dummy magazine underneath. If you skip this step, the paint is going to drop through the magazine slot, making your gun useless.

The main metal body, and the flexible plastic shroud, give this gun a realistic look as many woodsball players prefer.

You can add anything to its shroud like a scope or a camera and it will fit there perfectly. You can also add a sling and carry it on your neck and shoulder for your ease. 

Another worth mentioning feature is the adjustable stock. Many players want something at the back of their guns to make it sit against their shoulders or above them. This gun comes with an adjustable stock so you can use it according to your physique and preferences. 

Comfort Level

This gun is one of the most comfortable and beginner friendly guns. The rubberized grip makes it easy to handle. It is super lightweight so you do not get tired running around the fields under its weight. 

Durability

Durability is the last thing you should be worried about with this paintball gun. Most of it is made of aluminum, so it is not going to break easily.

You can through the fields, jump in the puddles, and walk through the snow, without damaging this gun in your hands. As I have personally used this gun for years, it has been thrown on the ground, bumped into trees, and yet it works as good as new.

Velocity and Accuracy

It is a .68 caliber gun that you can adjust for its velocity. The velocity can be adjusted from 155 to 275 FPS. The gun shoots accurately to above 40 feet right out of the box. And yet you can improve the velocity with an aftermarket barrel upgrade.

Gas Type

This gun needs CO2 tanks to shoot.

Cost

As you may know, magfed guns are a bit on the expensive side, but this one is not as high in cost as many others. And yet you do not need to worry about the quality. It is a Tippmann gun and that says enough about the quality of a gun.

It follows the internal mechanism of Tippmann 98; one of the most highly regarded guns in the paintball world. That means this gun is sure to work because it follows a tested and true system.

Ratings and Reviews of Players

It is one of the most popular guns among paintball players. Many fields use it as their rental equipment. It is especially popular among woodsball players and newbies. People are loving the comfort level and ease it provides. And as a magfed system that comes at a low price has won the love of people pretty quickly.

We have heard a few people complain about the gas leakage but these complaints are extremely rare.

On average, this gun has been rated 4.7 out of 5 stars by the thousands of players who have been playing with it.

Our Verdict

We find this gun to be the best choice for any beginner paintball player or woodsball player. It has plenty of features to make any player happy. It can be used in magfed paintball, or a hopper fed system. Make a few changes, and you can use it to shoot the first strikes. It is super lightweight, comfortable, durable, and everything is at an amazingly reasonable price.

We give it an 8.5 out of 10 on our scale.

If you want to have yours as a complete kit, here is the complete package for you.

2. Tippman 98 Custom Platinum Series ACT Paintball Gun

The best in many regards, even if you are least familiar with paintball, you may have already heard the name of this gun.

It is, undoubtedly, the best selling paintball marker of all time. Continue reading and counting with us “the bests” of this marker, and of course, how it is one of the best paintball markers for woodsball. 

Color	Black
Material	Mostly Aluminum
Caliber	.68
Magazine Compatible	No
Hopper Compatible	Yes
Gas Type	CO2 and HPA
Electronic/ Mechanical	Mechanical
Semi/ Full Automatic	Semi Automatic

What’s in the Box?

This paintball marker comes in a sturdy cardboard box that contains these things:

• The Main Marker
• Hopper Neck
• An 8 ½ inch Barrel
• A Packet that has got a few O rings, oil, barrel cover, and Allen Keys
• A manual.

Design

Tippmann designed their first custom 98 guns almost 30 years back; since then they have used the same system that works in its best form. But they have upgraded their basic gun to many levels in all these years.

If you look at the main assembly cover, you can see a split in the middle. It lets you open the particular part you are concerned about. If you want to fix anything with the rear part, you can unscrew the five screws there and open it.

And, in case you are trying to change a ball detent in the front half, you can simply open that part. So, instead of taking apart the entire assembly, as you had to do with the previous Tippmann guns, this thing has made our life a lot easier.

The gun we are talking about here has ACT technology. So let us talk about that first.

What is ACT?

ACT refers to Anti Chop Technology that eliminates ball chopping inside your marker. If you are not aware of ball chopping, let us explain it to you in easy words.

Your gun works while a hopper is feeding the gun with paintballs. Sometimes it happens that the paintball is just halfway through the feed neck when you shoot, the bolt hits the ball in the middle of the way and gets it chopped. The next thing you know is that your gun has a gooey paint mess inside that is keeping your gun from shooting properly.

To prevent this ball chopping, Tippmann has introduced ACT. The guns with ACT come with an extra spring in the bolt that goes really light on the balls that are halfway in the feed neck. It is a great addition to paintball markers and you cannot make this feature lighter in any way.

Customization

Tippmann 98 is known for its customization and the reason is the crazy customization you can do with this marvelous marker. Here are only a few of the most popular customizations you can make with your gun, especially if you are looking for a perfect woodsball gun. 

• Custom 98 comes with an 8 ½ barrel that is a pretty good barrel and shoots accurately. But, if you want to make it even better you can change it and use a longer barrel. Just make sure you use the one that is made for Tippmann.
• The original marker comes with a hook at the back. You can add a sling to it to hang it around your shoulders or neck. Or, you can take that bolt cap off and add a stock to it if you prefer that.
• This gun originally comes with a hopper neck. But, if you want to play magfed, this gun can be easily changed into a magfed system as well. 

Durability

The Tippmann 98 is one of the most durable guns ever made. Most of its body is made of aluminum that is not going to break no matter how you handle it, unless, of course, you are driving trucks over it. 

It is being used in many fields as a rental gun. And you can imagine how consistently they are used at rentals. They use it in mud, rain, and snow, and yet they keep on doing their job.

Accuracy and Maintenance

As mentioned before, this gun is pretty accurate right out of the box with the stock barrel. But you can always upgrade it with a better and longer barrel to make it even more accurate. 

As far as the maintenance of this gun is concerned, Tippmann guns are known for the low maintenance they require. There are fewer O rings. And the assembly and opening of different parts is super easy.

Ratings and Reports of Players

If there was an award for the most loved paintball marker, Tippmann Custom 98 must have won it. Still, to be the most selling gun ever is an award in itself.

This gun is not only loved by the individual players, it happens to be the most popular gun with the rental fields as well. And, the reasons to love it are countless. It is super durable and crazy customizable so players have changed it in countless ways to suit them.

It has been rated 4.3 out of 5 stars by the thousands of players who are using it.

Our Verdict

This gun is not only one of the best options available for woodsball, it is one of the best guns in the world. And we have mentioned (just a few) reasons why we think it is a great woodsball gun. 

You need to buy a durable gun as your first priority for woodsball, and nothing beats the durability of this gun. Even if you are a beginner today, you can buy this gun and use it as it comes. And, when you do become a seasoned player, customize this thing the way you want and it will stay with you forever.

We give it a straight 9.5 out of 10 on our scale.

3. First Strike FS T15 DMR Paintball Gun

This is the first striker on our list. If you know what first strikes are, you must be interested in buying a gun that shoots them. 

If you do not, continue reading and we will explain them to you below.

Color	Black
Material	Metal
Gas Type	HPA
Caliber	.68
Hopper Compatibility	No
Magazine Compatibility	Yes
Semi/ Full Automatic	Works as Both
First Strike Compatibility	Absolutely Yes

What’s in the Box?

Before I tell you what is inside the box of this gun, I feel a strong urge to tell you what exactly the box itself looks like. Because, undoubtedly, it is worth mentioning. 

It is a huge, hard plastic box inside which this gun comes packed. It has got feet underneath if you want to make it stand, or you can put it down lying on its side.

It has got some hooks at its side so you can put in a lock through them and lock in your precious gun to save it from intruders. The inside of the box is lined with foam to keep the gun safe. So, the box itself is pretty impressive to begin with.

Once you have opened the box, you will find a long gun with a shroud and a stock attached to it. And, yes, there is a 3000 PSI gas tank right under that stock.

It has a barrel, packed individually in it. There are two magazines, a manual, a barrel sleeve, some rails, and screws as well. Because if you want to mount something on the sides of this gun, you will have to mount them using rails, and the gun brings its rails with it.

There are three stock rails in the box. We will talk about them in detail later.

In addition to these, it also comes with a mock suppressor. If you do not know what they are, continue reading and we will let you know shortly.

And lastly, you will find an adjustable riser in the box, and that is one more thing we will be discussing in detail below.

We do think we have got you really hooked up! So continue reading.

Design

This gun has got an amazing aesthetic side to it. This beauty comes in black color. There are rails all around the barrel, so you can attach to it anything you want. 

Talking about the system, it is a mag fed gun that comes with two large magazines. You can insert 20 paintball rounds in a magazine, or if you are shooting first strikes, it will fit 19 of them at a time. 

What are First Strikes?

In case you are wondering what first strikes are, let us tell you, first strikes are a kind of paintball ammo that serves the same purpose but is different in shape. First strikes are round from the foreside just like standard paintballs, but they are cylindrical from the rear.

This unique shape enables them to travel much farther than the traditional paintballs. Plus, they are far more accurate than the round balls. These are also much more expensive. 

Getting back to the gun, it comes ready for shooting first strikes. If you look closer at the inside of the barrel, you might see the swirls in it. As the first strikes start to rotate in the barrel and that helps them go to farther distances without compromising the accuracy.

Stock Rails

As we said before, there are three stock rails in the box. These rails are used to attach the gas tank to the stock. As you put the stock on the gas tank, it simply slides off because it has no support to stay attached to it.

These rails are made to mount on the gas tank, and after that, when you place the stock back on the tank, it clicks on the right place and stays attached to it. Unless you want to remove it.

Mock Suppressor

The next thing we have got to discuss here is the mock suppressor this gun comes with. A mock suppressor is used to thread on the barrel, and it is supposed to reduce the sound of the gun when it shoots. 

You can use this suppressor on your gun, or you can simply remove it if you want to and it does not actually make much difference.

Adjustable Riser

The gun comes with an adjustable riser, and that is a pretty cool addition to the gun. This is actually a mount that you can attach to the top of your gun and use to attach a telescope to it. It has an adjustable lever, which means you can adjust the view angle of your scope to wherever you want. 

Now imagine yourself shooting first strikes, with a telescope on this gun that enables you to look at pretty far distances. You are certainly gonna rock!

Durability

Just by looking at this gun, you can tell that this thing is not going to break off any time soon. It is a durable gun that you can surely take to any woodsball field. 

Accuracy

If you are using this gun to shoot first strikes, you cannot even question its accuracy because it is as accurate as a gun can be. Plus, it comes with a barrel that is 14 ½ inches tall. That barrel is sure to shoot accurately anything you feed it.

Ratings and Reports of Players

We have found some extremely happy customers of this gun, and they have every reason to feel so. People are loving the accuracy of this gun. The adjustable rising is another hot favorite. Players are absolutely satisfied with the craftsmanship of this gun and they are rocking with its help in the fields of woodsball.

Some people did find the gun malfunctioning right out of the box, but these inconsistencies are normal with anything being sold.

On average, this gun has a 4.7 out of 5 stars rating by its real users.

Our Verdict

Let us make it clear: this gun is not for beginners. 

This is a magfed paintball marker which is not coming at a low price. So you must be deep into the game before you invest in this marker, or, you can buy it if you have plenty of dollars in your pocket. This is a true first strike system, and as we mentioned before, first strikes are far more expensive than normal paintball rounds. 

So, first, determine what kind of game you want to play with this marker, and only then proceed to buy it.

We give it an 8 out of 10 on our scale.

4. Tippmann Stormer Elite Paintball Marker

After giving you a great gun, particularly for seasoned woodsball players, here we bring you another option which is good for professionals and beginners alike. Another great gun from Tippmann which is going to last for years to come.

Color	Black
Material	Hard Plastic
Caliber	.68
Hopper Compatibility	Yes
Magazine Compatibility	Yes
Gas Type	CO2
Semi/ Full Automatic	Semi Automatic
First Strike Compatibility	No
Velocity	250 to 325 FPS (Adjustable)
Weight	Approximately 4.8 lbs

What’s in the Box?

Tippmann Stormer Elite comes in a cardboard box. It is compactly packed and all the different parts of the gun are allocated in different portions in the box.

Inside the box, you will get the main body of the marker with the hopper neck attached to it, a barrel with its shroud, two 18 rounds magazines, a dummy mag, a mag replacement rail (we will talk about it later), a front hand grip, a back stock, a packet that contains a few o rings, Allen keys, and some lube.

Apart from these parts, you will also get a user manual with all the instructions on how to use or, if needed, troubleshoot the gun.

Design

Unlike the other guns we added, this gun is mainly made of plastic. It is not cheap plastic that will easily break, it is a good quality material, but, as you can guess, there is a difference in the things. And that is the reason it is coming at a relatively low price.

It is a dual-fed marker, which means you can use it for playing magfed paintball and use the two magazines we mentioned above.

Or you can insert in the dummy magazine and run a hopper over to make it hopper fed. This is a really cool option to have in any paintball marker, but it is all the more important if you intend to play woodsball mainly.

But, if you do not want to play magfed, and you do not like the look of a dummy mag sticking underneath your gun, you can simply unscrew that part from the gun, and replace it with the mag replacement rail that we mentioned earlier. Luckily, it comes right in the box so you do not have to go looking for a replacement.

Talking about the shroud, you do not have to screw it on or off the gun, as it is a quick release shroud. It has got all the rails on it so you can mount on it whatever you want.

And, the last thing we would like to talk about in this section is the back stock. It is an adjustable stock that you can set according to your physique and preferences. It does not fit a gas tank in it as this gun has a grip through gas design.

Durability and Maintenance

The inner system of this gun follows Tippmann Custom 98, so you do not have to worry about the working of this gun. It is mainly made of plastic, so you do have to be a bit careful about handling it. 

It is a mechanical marker, so there is not a lot that you need to maintain it. Just try to keep it clean and oiled, and it will be with you through tough and hard games. 

Velocity and Accuracy

It is a .68 caliber paintball marker, and you can adjust the velocity from 250 to 375 FPS. It comes with a 12 inch, A5 threaded barrel. A long barrel ensures accuracy and this one comes quite accurate without any upgrades needed in this regard.

Ratings and Reports of Players

The Tippmann Stormer series is one of the most highly regarded woodsball marker series. Stormer Elite is preferred by the players who like to switch between a hopper and a magazine from time to time. People like to have a tried and tested system of Tippmann with a magfed option in an affordable range. 

It has been rated 4.7 out of 5 stars by all the players who have been using it.

Our Verdict

If you need a woodsball gun in an affordable range that works not only as a hopper fed system but as a magfed system too, this can be your go-to choice. It is a good gun with plenty of options, and with an inner system that is guaranteed to work. 

It is a durable gun and we cannot doubt that, but if you are looking for something that keeps working even if you bang it against all the trees in your woodsball fields, check the other options on our list.

We give it an 8 out of 10 on our scale.

This gun is from the Tippmann Stormer series which also has two more editions of this gun. We added this particular gun to our list because we found it the best choice for woodsball with all the options it has to offer. But you can also check these two if you want to as they are equally good, with some different features.

Tippmann Stormer Basic

It is the basic gun that comes without the back stock or magazines.

Tippmann Stromer Tactical

This is a hopper fed gun that can be upgraded to mag fed also.

5. Empire Axe 2.0 Paintball Marker

Although it is better to use a mechanical marker on woodsball fields, some people prefer to play with electronic markers, no matter what kind of field they are on. And, there is nothing wrong with using an electronic marker on any field, if you want to, as long as you take good care of it.

This marker is for those who like to play with electronics, no matter what.

Color	Multiple
Material	Aluminum
Caliber	.68
Hopper Compatibility	Yes
Magazine Compatibility	No
First Strike Compatibility	No
Semi/ Full Automatic	Semi and Full Automatic
Gas Type	HPA
Mechanical/ Electrical	Electrical

What’s in the Box?

This electronic marker comes in a hard cardboard box. The insides of the box are fully padded with foam for safe delivery.

Inside the box, there are two layers of foam again. On the upper half of the box, you will see your main marker. Remove the foamic sheet, and you will see the barrel in the lower half. Alongside the barrel, there is a small kit that has all the necessary parts of the gun like O rings, lube, and Allen keys.

Design

As mentioned before, it is an electronic marker and that is the reason it follows many electronic markers’ trends.

One of the very popular trends happens to be the variety of colors. So this marker is available in many colors by the Empire. And that is not all, different stores are selling different parts of the gun so you can change the colors according to your choice.

Apart from the color choice, this marker is super comfortable to hold. It is extremely lightweight. You can easily carry it and shoot it single handedly, but it has a front grip that gives you better control of the gun.

Hopper Neck

It is a hopper fed marker and the hopper neck is attached to it with a clamp. It is a really good upgrade they made after the previous Empire Axe edition that had a threaded neck and was prone to wear off after some usage.

Velocity and Accuracy

You can adjust the velocity of the marker from a wheel behind the bolt.

 This gun comes with a 12 inch, two piece barrel and it is amazingly accurate right out of the box.

The Control Panel

As it is an electronic marker, it must have a control panel to program the gun. This panel is attached to the front grip. You can reach it easily and have control over all the buttons. The batteries are also inside the front grip. You can flip open the grip and change the batteries in a matter of a few seconds.

Maintenance

Electronic markers are usually considered difficult to maintain. But, there are many changes that the company has made over the years in this gun to make it easier to maintain.

The eyes of the marker are one of these things. It was extremely difficult to clean the eyes of the Empire Axe Pro or Mini GS, but with this gun, they have made a much needed change. You can simply take off the panel in front of the eyes and clean it, you can also reach the breach from the same opening and clean it there too. 

Ratings and Reports of Players

It is one of the most popular electronic guns out there. Players like all the fancy looks and the fully programmable settings of this gun. They are in love with the size and weight of this gun and the accuracy is like a cherry on the top.

Players did have a few problems with the previous versions of this gun, but Empire Axe has taken care of all the inconveniences and has provided the best version of their gun.

It has secured 5 out of 5 star ratings so far by the thousands of the players who are using it.

Our Verdict

It is, no doubt, a great paintball marker. It is crazy popular with the players. But, we added this marker because we had to add at least one electronic marker to our list for those who insist on playing with these.

Otherwise, it is always recommended to go to the woodsball fields with something super durable and extremely reliable. Woodsball is more about tactile shooting than rapid firing. So the chances are, you will end up wasting more paintballs, or constantly worrying about the well-being of your fancy electronic marker.

Come on! Take something with you that you can throw in the mud and enjoy the game rather than worrying about it. They are also going to cost you half as much.

That’s why, as a woodsball marker, we give it a 7.5 out of 10 on our scale.

---

Conclusion

As you may have already got the idea, Woodsball is a much more rough and unpredictable game than speedball. So, you need to carry a gun with you that is super durable and reliable.

In this scenario, mechanical guns can be your best companion. They come at a much more affordable price and last you longer than any other type of gun.

In addition to that, you can have all sorts of options in them, like hopper fed, magfed, semi auto, full auto, and all. These guns are also super easy to use, maintain, and beginner friendly.

You can choose the one that suits you best and get ready to rock!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can I play woodsball with a speedball marker?

You can, but you better not. Woodsball involves a lot more chances of falling and bumping into different things as the fields are more natural. Moreover, there are more chances of playing on not-so-clean fields. A mechanical marker can endure all the hardships with a smile and will continue to work. On the other hand, speedball markers are much more fragile in such circumstances.

What are the first strikes?

First Strikes are a kind of paintball projectile. They are spherical from the front, just like normal paintballs, but cylindrical and hollow from the rear. This specific shape helps them reach longer distances with higher velocity.

Can all paintball markers shoot first strikes?

No, not all paintball markers come ready for first strikes. There are a few that can shoot first strikes right out of the box, others can be upgraded. While some markers are simply not compatible with first strikes. 

Can I install an electronic hopper on my mechanical paintball gun?

You absolutely can, but you might need not to. Electronic hoppers are used to force feed the gun with an increased feed speed and they are a must for electronic markers. But, as your mechanical marker is going to shoot at a limited speed, a gravity hopper is going to be just fine for it. 

What can I do to increase the accuracy of my paintball gun?

Sometimes, a simple upgrade of the barrel does the trick. If your gun came with a barrel that is shorter in length, just buy an aftermarket barrel that fits your gun, but is longer in length. It will surely increase the accuracy of your marker.
