--sorry the video was removed here is a screenshot of the diagram

heres a brief description


Dennis tippmann shows off the new x7 phenom(sounds like a processor doesnt it)

the new tippmann x7 base gun has some nice features like a spool valve with a spring return blow forward bolt, a regulator adjuster in the back

mechanical, and semi mode of operation

what does everyone think.

hmm, their newest and most advanced aye? the valve/bolt/reg combo reminds of something, I just can't put my finger on it...

The TPX haha am i right?

[Beemer]

Wow mech AND e-mode, thats new. Must have.

[kwood]

its pretty much an emag!!!

[BiNumber3]

hmm, so if the batteries die, can it run in mech mode as an e-mag does? or does that selector switch require batteries to function?

wonder how air enters the valve tho

[Wrathbringer]

NOOOOOO the video is gone!

Anyone care to summarize what was on it? This definitely piqued my interest...

[Frizzle Fry]

It has indeed disapeared... Possibly an issue with the H&K style fire selector?

Either way from what I can see from the first frame of the video it's a cool automa... Tippman

[BenoitOWN]

Humm I wonder how that thing went on internet. I would have liked to see the video.

I think it was deleted cause it shoud not have been on the net.

I meant whether or not the selector switch will allow you to shoot even without any batteries at all, from the looks of it the switch might be battery dependant, which could mean you won't be able to switch to mech mode, I can't tell from the vid and didnt notice any mention of it really other than there is a mech mode.

As for what was on the vid: imagine a tippmann X7 or something, with an automag valve inside, and an e-mag frame
and he's just showing the features of the gun through a 3d program

basically the video shows tippmanns new gun which is coming out. it only shows it in 3D renderings though. think of the TPX Pistol how the design is almost identical to the Automag valve. now take the TPX and make a full on version of it, and you have Tippmanns new marker. which is essentially identical to a Automag valve

There was a team at the SPPL Finals a few weeks ago that Tippmann gave them a few of the proto's to use and test. They seemed pretty cool from what we saw and used of them. Easy velocity adjustments with any moderate sized allen key, fire mode selector switch is like the X7 but it has 3 positions...the first is a mechanical safety, the middle mode is semi only and that is a mechanical semi, and the third position is an electric mode that is set on the board but has the option of being full auto or semi or bust or ramp and so on. The gun is shorter than the A5 and X7 and seems to be a bit lighter too. Still has the cyclone feed and the valve and bolt system come out the back once you remove the pins and grip frame like the others. It does have a air through grip frame system too.

The base of this design was not developed in-house by Tippmann...and it does draw directly from the Mag family tree. (even before Tippmann got it)

[PrimoRocker]

Why is Tippmann making a gun like this, and not AGD anymore?

[Lohman446]

Tippman as part of KEE (IIRC) has better lawyers than SP. Since SP can't threaten them into submission, and has absolutely no desire to see precident set against them, they leave them alone.

I'm interested in this to play with - anyone else?
