Barrel Upgrades affect the Range, Stability and Impact of Machine Guns and Shotguns. Beginning with Uncommon quality weapons and up, these Weapons will come with at least 2 of these Upgrades, of which the player can choose to have one active at a time. These Upgrades are distributed randomly upon weapon pickup except in a couple of cases: a) When purchasing an item from a Vendor, you can already see the upgrade path of the Weapon and this won't change and b) there are a few weapons in the game that have static (never changing Upgrades). You can see which these are by looking at the Weapons.

Note: Every single Shotgun and Machine Gun of Uncommon quality or better has this Upgrade path ( Exotics included).
