Tippmann TPX Barrel Upgrade Options
We all love our Tippmann TPX pistols. As more aftermarket options become available we love our pistols even more. Air systems, extended magazines, sights, and barrels - to name a few of our favorite upgrades.
Most people don't expect to be taking long shots with their TPX, but did you know an aftermarket barrel can make that side arm almost as accurate as a full size marker? RAP4, HammerHead, and a few other companies are designing barrels just for that purpose.
I'm sure most of us know that the TPX uses the same barrel threads as the ever so popular Tippmann A5, but having a barrel specifically designed to work with the pistol's velocity and short stature can really take the mini-marker to the next level.

We're not saying you're going to make 100 foot sniper shots, but you will probably notice a big difference. Check out these barrels for our top choices:
RAP4 Frostbite Series
Price Check: Go!
RAP4 has several choices from a 10" barrel with a suppressor to their 6" version with muzzle brake. They also offer some serious package deals to convert your marker into a full on suppressed SOCOM machine pistol with an extended magazine. We love the simple six inch barrel as the most affordable upgrade for the TPX. Its rifling works well for such a short barrel.
HammerHead TPX Barrel
Price Check: Go!
HammerHead does a great job with the TPX barrel also. It's a bit more expensive but the accuracy is well above the stock Tippmann barrel. This model was reported as performing well with FirstStrike paintball, although that's not something we've tried ourselves since we haven't made our pistols FirstStrike capable yet. HammerHead has been making some of the best unique items for paintballs over the last 6+ years.
