Super glue or a good two-part epoxy (preferably something better than
the quick-n-dirty 5 minute stuff) should do the trick. The epoxy
will give you a greater chance to fully seat the collars, while the
super glue may decide to bond before the collars are fully in place.
Make sure the surfaces are clean, rough them up a bit with some
sandpaper so that the adhesive of choice has something to grab hold
of, clean off the dust from sanding, and bond away!

Just buy new tubes.

I think I'll stop there, I'm sure you can find more if you want.

Yeah, but with shipping and handling, those $10 tubes become $20 tubes, and
when I can use 5 cents worth of epoxy for effectively the same net result, I
see no reason to lay out the extra dough.

Because when the 5 cent epoxy fails and you lose $5 worth of paintballs the
new tubes have just paid for themselves.

TIG welder. Trust me. You just need to practice at it. It will
work on plastic.

Try Overstock.com. They carry Virus tubes, which is what I use. Single piece
tube--no ring--nice spring for the top, and there's a slight recess in the tube
to get you a grip on the cap instead of a little tab. Haven't pulled them open
sliding or pulling open a strap yet, like I have with my PMI and VL tubes. I
got a dozen of 'em off eBay for like $7, plus S&H. Just my two cents.

Actually on smooth plastic etching does not help and actually gives less
"smooth surface" for the super glue to bond to.

Even when gluing porous materials (like balsa) it's best to leave the
surface as smooth and flat as possible for best adhesion. The key to Super
Gluing anything is to make sure you have two clean, smooth, well fitting
pieces to join together.
