About our Barrels
Flasc Paintball barrels are designed for versatility and high performance. Unlike traditional barrels our barrel system is fully modular.
Most barrel kits come with 2 piece barrels that are fairly simple, a Barrel back (generally allowing you to choose your bore size), and a Barrel front (to choose your length), and you need one of each and then your done.
A Flasc Paintball barrel however is different. We have barrels, extensions, and barrel tips. Our barrels are full bore barrels, and do not require a barrel "front" to operate, they don't really require a Barrel tip either other then to protect the threads, if you wanted you could run any Flasc barrel with nothing but a thread cap and you would be just fine.
Flasc Paintball barrels come in a wide range of Bore sizes, and Bore lengths, from our super short Micro Bore barrel, Our Mid Range Core Bore barrels, to our highest performing 9" Control Bore barrel system. With any Flasc Paintball barrel, you can put any one of our Barrel tips on and go play. Alternatively, if you wanted to add length, or Porting, you can add one of our barrel extensions to the front of your barrel. Any of our barrel extensions will move the front of the barrel to the front of the extension, since the threads on the front of the extension are the exact same as the front of your barrel. that means you can put any standard barrel tip on the front of your extension, or even another barrel extension.... and another... and another.. making your barrel as long as you would like. This goes for any barrel made by Flasc paintball.
This barrel system allows your hundreds of possible barrel variations allowing you to choose your Barrel Bore size, Bore length, total barrel length, porting options and barrel tip. giving you the most versatile barrel system possible.

Barrel Testing / Research and Development (R&D)
Back in the early years we spent a lot of time meticulously prototyping and testing various barrel designs and configurations to find out how barrels work so we could make the highest performing barrels possible. Some of the questions we wanted answers for were as follows.
- How does Bore length (barrel back length) affect performance?
- How does Bore Size affect performance?
- Does barrel length really matter?
- what does porting do on a barrel?
- how do I make my barrel louder? or quieter?
- what makes a barrel more accurate?
These tests gave us the data we used to create and over the years update and tweak our Control Bore barrel kits which are our highest performing barrel kits.
We decided to share some of that research data with you to show you more about how barrels work and how you can get what you want out of your particular barrel system, since there's no such thing as a one size fits all.
If you have questions about our barrel system, any of our barrels or kits in particular, our barrel tests, or how barrels work in general, feel free to reach out to us and well do our best to answer them for you.
