Share  Everyone knows what happened when the world’s gun manufacturers started cutting spiraled grooves into their barrels for fired projectiles to expand into; those projectiles went further and flew straighter. In the world of paintball there is an interesting parallel, as the ammunition we fire is something of a cross between a water balloon and a musket ball.
A liquid-filled projectile designed to break when it reaches and impacts its intended target like a water balloon and round, but not perfectly so or uniform from one individual ball to the next like a musket ball, the quest to make paintballs fly straight has been a long and complicated one. Many gimmicks, tricks, technologies, innovations, ideas and outright hair-brained schemes have been tried in the attempt to make paintballs fly straighter, most of which failed. Hammerhead, however, continues to win fans for their accuracy-enhancing rifling one shot, one barrel and one customer at a time.  Hammerhead’s latest barrel, the Mofo, is a departure from their usual rifled aluminum tubes in that this one features an aluminum core wrapped in a lightweight, attractive and strong carbon fiber outer shell. Available in the usual carbon fiber black pattern or with a tint of blue, green, red or gold to match any paintball gun, team uniform or personal taste, the Hammerhead Mofo barrel features the same rifling as the rest of the Hammerhead product line and utilizes “Fins” to both mate the barrel to a paintball gun and select its bore size. Fins are available in everything from .679 for smaller bore paintballs all the way up to .690 for golf balls, allowing users to select the one Fin they require for their particular brand of paint, or buy several to construct the perfect barrel kit. Threads are available for practically any paintball gun imaginable, from Spyder and Tippmann models to Autococker, Angel, Smart Parts and even Automag threads. The Mofo is available in ten, twelve and fourteen inch lengths, allowing the user to do everything from snipe in the deep woods to engage in urban combat in tight surroundings. All Mofo barrels are ported at the muzzle break to reduce noise.
Used by Arsenal Evolution in their impressive Huntington Beach seven-man finish and made in America, by Americans, the Hammerhead Mofo barrel system is a high-tech take on the age-old problem of making an inherently inaccurate projectile fly straight. Extremely light and well-made from quality components, Hammerhead’s Mofo is a great choice for players looking for technological solution to a long-standing problem. www.HammerheadPaintball.com
