By Josh Silverman exalt wood grips There was a time when paintball guns were such works of art that luscious wood grips belonged on them – not just something for the owner to wrap their hand around but to enrich the look of the marker when it was simply sitting still. With the resurgence of ten-man and mechanical paintball around the world, and with it the return of hand-made, hand-tuned, custom ordered Autocockers and other paintball guns, that time has returned and Exalt has answered the call, releasing a sweet set of wood grips that truly accent a high-end paintball gun and give it a look all its own. Fitting most .45 (1911) style marker grip frames, these are a great accessory for any player looking to truly upgrade the look of their paintball gun to something upscale. By Josh Silverman Freak ACP Barr el Front EThe Freak Barrel has long been regarded as one of the best in the game thanks to its ability to truly tailor the fit of the paintball to the barrel with its interchangeable inserts, and adapt to various needs of players with variable types and lengths of barrel fronts. Now the Freak barrel is innovating again after years on the market, with the addition of the Freak ACP barrel front. Offering All Conditions Performance, the new Freak ACP front allows players to shoot through conditions and situations that would leave other barrels shooting hook shots and corkscrews, like broken paint, mud from a messy slide or dive, or rainwater intrusion through its ports. Shooting straight in great weather is great and all, but maintaining straight shooting performance in the challenging weather conditions paintball always seems to attract? That’s innovative! www.paintball.media 023
