Tippmann Straightline Barrel

Tippmann had their work cut out for them when they decided to create a new barrel system. Their Flatline barrel changed the way people though about conventional paintball barrels. After much research the project was complete and the result is the Tippmann Staightline Barrel System.

The new Tippmann Straightline Barrel kit has been released and should be here in the next day or two. This 16" barrel promises to be the most accurate A5/X7 barrel available today. In cooperation with Hammerhead, Tippmann created a true spiral rifled barrel that includes 3 barrel backs for paint matching and a removable muzzle break for decreased shot turbulence. This all adds up to better performance and better air efficiency. After an initial run at a few test events, Tippmann believes that the Straightline Barrel will be the best A5/X7 barrel to date. And yes... it will work with the X7 and A5 barrel shrouds. It will also work with all X7 Tippmann/Special Ops accessories.

Paintball Sights from Tiberius Arms and NcStar

The summer is upon us and we've been hard at work revamping our product offering with even more paintball tactical accessories. Recently we received the new Tiberius Arms paintball sights. These are the units currently found on the new T9 ST sniper markers. These include the 1x30 Red Dot, 4x32 Illuminated Scope and the Compact Open Holographic Red Dot Scope. All quality units that will perform well at a price that is easy on the wallet.


Also due in is the complete line of paintball sights from NcStar. We will carry most of NcStar's red dot sight models. We will also carry a few new rail systems as well. NcStar has a red dot scope available for just about any rail out there whether it be a 3/8" dovetail or standard weaver style rail. They have produced optics for the past 12 years used widely in many other sporting markets around the world. Don't be fooled by the price. They're priced right even for the budget-minded 'baller looking to trick-out his scenario paintball gun. Don't forget to checkout the new NcStar Flashlights and Laser sights as well. We will have all the necessary tactical optical gear to complete your gun for your next event.

BT Paintball Bandolier Packs

We just received our first shipment of BT Paintball Bandolier Packs. BT Paintball has just overhauled their product catalog and the Bandolier harnesses are part of the new offering. They are available as either a 4+1 or 6+1 configuration in both Black and Woodland Digital Camo. The packs are very comfortable and cinche securely to your body with the sewn-in velco belt system. Although the manufacturer does not specify, we would assume the harness would fit between a 30 - 44" waist size.

The center bottle pouch is big enough to carry a large Compressed Air Tank. We tried our 70ci Crossfire and had room to spare. Although shorter, our 70ci tank should be equivalent to the width of most 88ci tanks out there. So carrying anything from a 20oz CO2 tank to an 88ci nitro bottle should not be a problem. Pod pouches hold the 140's nicely, 100rd's no problem. The pod strap is long and has a decent length of velco on it to accomodate different length tubes.


The BT Paintball Bandolier Packs are available now at www.rockstartactical.com. Don't forget to stop by regularly as the rest of the new BT Paintball accessories should be in by summer's end!

BT Apex Barrel - Trick Shot System

The BT Apex Barrel is one barrel system that is revolutionary in design and performance. I don't think anyone predicted the level of popularity it would earn when it was first introduced during a paintball trade show a few years back. Today many options are available for the BT Apex including Apex Replacement Barrels from manufacturers such as Lapco and Smart Parts. Now you are able to add your Apex tip to a complete 'Freak' barrel system giving you the ultimate in barrel to paint matching.

Although the Apex is as popular as ever, rumor has it that BT may be discontinuing production of their AK47 w/Apex Barrel Kits. BT Paintball has completely revamped their product line recently, promising to have new and exciting items available by summer's end. ROCKSTAR Tactical will always carry the standard Apex. We also still have AK and M16 style kits available for the Tippmann A5, Tippmann 98 and Spyder paintball guns. The AK models will only be available for as long as supplies last! Don't miss out if you've been thinking about getting BT Apex Barrel AK Kit for your next build.
