New Tippmann HammerHead Barrel


Tippmann Sports is excited to launch a new, special edition StraightLine barrel for woodsball that was designed to complement the look of Tippmann X7 painrball marker and Tippmann A-5 paintball marker. The new, 16” barrel was created through a partnership with HammerHead, a longtime leader in paintball barrel design, and offers unmatched quality and performance characteristics.
