Forget Tippmanns, Check this out!

[personman]

Look, I have a Sheridan XTS and a Tippmann 98 Custom.. XTS is about 1/2 the price, and check this f00 out! There like the same thing! Note: All the XTS Parts are on the left.

Comparison of the grip frames, notice how similar they are.
Well, In a nutshell, You buy a tippmann for $123.50 (http://www.paintballgear.net/010-7021.html) or, you buy an XTS for 59.99 (http://www.paintballgear.net/010-1611.html) they are basically the same gun, the XTS is lighter, but the Tippmann has more upgrades. Some parts on tippmans are plastic that are metal on the xts and vice versa, I would not, and could not ever say one was better than the other, becasue they arent. They are neck and neck in quality and reliability. Its too bad sheridan changed there name, I dont think they make XTSs anymore :(

I have a feeling that price is just there to clear the sheridans out. meaning while its a good gun for the price it wont last. sheridans were always more expensive to buy then m98s in my area. and so no one really bought them. mirage titan xts many attempts have been made to break into the inline blowback market with tippmann but none have lasted

[personman]

Yeah, thats probally the reason, I'm just saying.
Even the origional price is waht, 10-20 bux cheaper?

[rudy]

the original on the sharidan there is 140 so its about 26 bucks more expensive

a kid has one at my local field and it never seems to work, and he usually ends up sitting out most games trying to get it to work.

yeah it will never be as reliable as a tippmann the only problem that can occur is smallt hings like a broken sear(can be replaced at the shop at your feild)and a leak( a little teflon needed) or a cracked power tube( 5 $ replace)

my tippmann has never ever had a problem i've had it for 2 years. and my freind has gone through 3 sheridans all of them broke within 2 years

[HoppysMag]

im gunna get one from Paintball gear eventualy as a loaner, any problems with yours?

[personman]

No problems with mine, I love it, only put about 500 shots through it, but its used.
WTF, Powertube cracking? The tippmann powertube is friggin plastic, thats more likely to crack than metal!

[magsRus]

I still recommend to save up for a minimag..hehe

Pfff what a .... company..

My friend was all hyped on sheridan.. bought mask, gun, gloves the whole bit..

needless to say he had to get the gun exchanged 4x, then got his money back, and the mask fell apart.

Luckily the pack still works, and he did the wise thing in buying a 2k2 cocker and tricking it out.

Tippmanns to Sheridans is like comapring..
Emag to a PGP...

[HoppysMag]

sheridan is a very good company but unfortunatly like AGD they have seen thier peak... the PGP, VM68, K series are all great OLD markers that are high in quality and were/are industry standerds and record makers.... i mean the PGP is An old marker and they are still being sold today... the spyders can be linked to the vm68.... sheridan has done alot for our sport...but unfortunatly they have risen and fallen...:(

[personman]

ARgh, sorry I thought he was saying that the XTS pt would crack:rolleyes: Tippmann and Sheridan both are awesome companies, I just wish sheridan diddnt change their name and start making gay guns..

[HoppysMag]

when did they change thier name??? they were distubited by PMI back in the day, mabey changed it from Benjimen Sheridan to Sheridan but thats all i can think of?
