1. A paintball gun barrel system configured to be attached to a paintball gun having a main body with a paintball discharge port, the paintball gun barrel system comprising:
a hollow tubular barrel back having a first end that is adapted to be removably attached to the discharge port of the paintball gun and an opposing second end;
a magnet located on the second end of the barrel back;
a hollow tubular barrel tip having a first inner surface, a coupling end and a port end, the coupling end of the barrel tip having magnetically attractive material thereat, the coupling end received within a seat on the second end of the barrel back such that the coupling end is magnetically coupled to the magnet, the coupled barrel tip and barrel port forming a continuous first hollow interior;
a first channel disposed within the first inner surface of the barrel tip extending from the coupling end toward the port end;
a second channel disposed within the first inner surface of the barrel tip extending from the coupling end toward the port end, a peg received within one of the first and second channels when the barrel insert is received within the first hollow interior, the second channel spaced apart from the first channel;
a first port located on the barrel tip proximate the port end and longitudinally aligned with the first channel, the first port being of a first size;
a second port located on the barrel tip proximate the port end and longitudinally aligned with the second channel and radially spaced apart from the first port, the second port being of a second size that is different relative to the first size; and
a hollow tubular barrel insert having a second inner surface, an outer surface, a second hollow interior, a breach end and a muzzle end, a peg on an outer surface of the tubular barrel and a third port proximate the muzzle end, the barrel insert is received within the first hollow interior formed by the coupled barrel back and barrel tip such that the breach end of the barrel insert abuts the paintball gun and such that the peg is received within either the first channel and the first port overlays the third port or the peg is received with second channel and the second port overlays the third port.
