Titanium Paintball, a division of Q&L Engineering, today announces the launch of its revolutionary barrel system named the Longbow™. The Longbow is a two-piece barrel with a titanium control bore and an aluminum front end. The inside of the barrel has a patent pending finish called Hardbore™ which is smoother and harder than any finish available today.  Michael Quinn, vice president and co-owner explains, “Hard Bore Finishing™, a patent pending technology developed by Q&L, enables the Longbow™ to outperform other barrels in every major metric. The Hardbore finishing technique leaves the bore up to 6 times smoother and 30% harder than micro honing. A smoother finish allows more consistent velocity, better accuracy, better air efficiency and best of all, the barrel will shoot clean significantly faster than barrels with conventional honed bores. The finish will never flake, chip, or wear off and it resists the fine scratches that accumulate over time and rob a barrel of performance.”  The Longbow™ has an interchangeable control bore and tip, allowing users to switch bore sizes and lengths to suit the paint and play conditions. Four different bore sizes are planned as well as a variety of tip lengths and styles. The aluminum tips come in a variety of colors as well as “raw” for customers wanting to do custom anodizing. Manufacture’s suggested retail price (MSRP) for a complete barrel is $139.  For more information on the Longbow barrel or Titanium Paintball go to www.titaniumpaintball.com or e-mail info@titaniumpaintball.com
