Details
Universal barrel threads refer to common threading standards used across many paintball markers. When a marker uses a popular thread type, players can choose from a wide range of barrels made by different manufacturers.
The two most common universal threading systems are: Autococker threads: Widely used on modern electronic markers. A5 threads: Common on mechanical and tactical style markers.
Using a barrel with incompatible threads can damage the marker or create unsafe firing conditions. Players always verify the threading type before attaching a new barrel.
Universal threading helps players customize their setup with different bore sizes, lengths, and materials without being locked into one brand.
