Barrel Upgrades

One of the first upgrades/modifications that people often do to their guns is to get a new barrel. There may be several reasons for changing the barrel ranging from accuracy to looks. A barrel is very easy to change. You simple unscrew the old barrel and then screw in the new barrel. However, not ever barrel will fit ever gun. There are many different brands of paintball guns out there, some of them use the same threading for their barrels and some different. Here is a chart that can help you tell what gun barrels are compatible with each other.

Psycho Ballistics: Silver Bullet, Lightning, Superbolt, etc- Autococker threads or Spyder threads.

Pump Markers: Phantom, etc- Research specific pump barrel. Phantoms have their own threading.

Sheridan: PGP, PG, etc- None - It's one piece.

Shockers(Misc): Dark, Evil, Shocktech, Hybrid, etc- Autococker threads. And all "Old-School" Shockers, SFT, and most PL Shockers take specific Shocker threading.

Smart Parts: Ion (XE), Epiphany, Nerve, NXE/Dynasty/RL Shocker, etc- Ion/Impulse Threading.

Stacked-Tube-Blow-Backs/STBBS/Spyders/Spyder Clones: All Spyder Guns, 32 Degrees, Evil, Draguns(Except Drallion), Kingman, and many more- Spyder threads.

Tippmann Pneumatics: A5, 98 Custom, X-7, 68 Carbine, Pro-Lite, Pro-Carbine- Depending on year/model they either take the A5/Classic threading, or 98 Custom threading.

US Army Paintball: All Tippmann 98 Custom Threading.

Viewloader: Orion, High Voltage, Trition, etc- Spyder threads. 

WDP: Angels- Specific threading based on year made. Classic Angel threading for models before G7 Fly, then the G7 Fly and '06 Speed take G7 Fly thread. The G7 Fly threading CAN be used on Angel A1s, and vice versa. Theyll screw in partways, and they wont fit perfect, as in they wont connect with the breech completely, but you can add a "beauty ring" to get a better fit. Note that the lack of perfect connection can cause barrel breaks and the like.

WGP: Trilogy, Autocockers, etc- Autococker threads.

This list isn't perfect.  If you have any updated or different information, leave a comment and I'll update the post.
