You know those barrels that make the ball spin so they go straighter (I think that's it). :huh:

Are they any good? :unsure:

We have not seen any data that shows rifled barrels change the accuracy of paintballs in a positive manner.

Do not purchase a rifled barrel. Get an underbore for better air efficiency or an Apex barrel for more distance.

As andrew said there is no positive evidence that this does what its supposed to but i would think that rifling would cause drag thus slowing down the paintball thus your marker would have to run at a higher psi to compensate for the slOw paintball and reduce efficiency.

Twister, any good? NO, they are crap!

Hard to clean, stay dirty and very inefficient and noisy - no upside in accuracy or anything else.

There are many good barrel upgrades, the twister is NOT one of them.

Good Luck!
