Carbon/aluminum paintball barrel with built in silencer

Abstract

A barrel system for a paintball marker that utilizes a carbon or fiberglass outer layer surrounding a hollow aluminum inner layer. The barrel can be manufactured with a woven carbon or fiberglass. The barrel may also use a unidirectional carbon or fiberglass. The unidirectional material utilizes a number of fibers longitudinally oriented along the aluminum bore and a number of fibers biased to the longitudinally oriented fibers. The barrel includes a built in silencer at the muzzle end. The barrel also includes a built in barrel connection at the breech end.
