Some of them are idiots. Mags are better than tippy's plain ans simple. One guy said that tippy's are good beause team timppman effect uses them. That makes no scence. They have to use them no matter how bad they are becuase tippman sponsors them. Most of their guns are upgraded so much, ie ebolt, RT, HPA conversion(in other words made into like $2000 guns) and they use A5's mostly. I know there are some teams that don't use their sponsors guns, but I can't see why the company still pays them. Probably just to have them ware their jerseys. It's just a matter of pride. People love their guns and think theirs is the best. their are talon owners groups and they think that they have great markers! LOL.

actually I was was watching tippman effect and 2 use an a5, 2 us an e-bolt, one uses a totally upgraded tippman and the rest use tippman 98s with double trigger and hyper star blot so no they dont come up to $2000 they all come up less then $600.

I dunno. Tippmann beating AGD at IAO?

Nya nya!


No, you're right. Everybody DOES have their opinion. And the kid that gave the 98 faster/whatever than mag opinion was born in 1988. So take a wild guess as how much experience he's actually had before lashing out and unleashing the AO clones.

I personally don't even care what people say. If they say a Spyder is better than a Piranha. Let em, you won't see me blink twice or lose sleep over it. Say a Matrix is low maintanence. First I'll laugh, then ignore them. What have you, let them say what they want. Just make sure that you record it and preserve it in a history log book, so 5 years from now ask them a question relating to that. When they finally learned something in those 5 years, bring back their old newbie self and show them how stupid they sounded. You can tell 'em now, but they won't learn. Gotta let them eat their own words down the road! Feels better, too!

I can shoot my tippmann (Double trigger, with some mods to it) a heck of a lot faster then a stock mag, and probably a double trigger mag.

Shoot faster? Nah.. Easier to shoot faster? Yup..

Not even close. You can probably take one of Dynasty's markers.... and that almost equals the cost of ALL Tippmann Effects'! Not being sarcastic either, dead serious.

The Effect guns are not highly specially one of a kind custom factory specialties. They do not undergo hundreds of hours of in-factory custom tweeking and putting Timmy internals in the Tippy. It's not like that, though everybody who thinks they know what they're talking about (hint hint) assumes so. Think that since they play tournaments, they must be highly special Tippmanns that nobody else can get.

Sorry, but half of them are still mechanical. You can get your own special edition Tippmann Effect style performing Tippmann from me. Send me 2000 dollars (since you think it costs that much) and I'll send you a 98 with a Stabilizer and double trigger. You'll be able to use the same thing they do.

There are e-bolts and e-grips, of course. I'm not about to make it sound like they grab a 98 out of the box and have at it. The guys use what they like and what they're good with. Though one of them is doing good with my E-grip. And now I need one, again! I just got it, too, after my first one got lifted.

Only difference is that these kids know what they're using, know how to use them, have been using them, and are very comfortable using them. So they might be Tippmanns, but last I checked they have a few wins behind their name along with almost always placing.

Also, it's 50/50. Leaning more towards using 98's over A-5s.

i liked the part where someone said "mags acctually have a looooooooong trigger pull"
yes thats because you have to pull the trigger a total of 4mm. If he thinks thats long he must have low standards.

My A-5 is definitly tourney grade. With a 10" ultralite, e-grip, intruder x-chamber (it sure is long now, huh?) and the ungodly cyclone feed, it kicks butt. I'd say the cyclone is better than a HALO B. The thing feeds a little above 20bps and has no batteries.

As for the 98, with an e-bolt it can out shoot ALOT of guns. I will take an e-bolt 98 over a lot of popular electros. The thing is sexy.

No it can't outshoot ALOT of popular electros, I can't think of one electro it can out shoot, maybe an old shocker Its all in their rams, you cant really get over 13 bps with them

Stock tippmanns are faster than stock mags. The money it would take to get an RTP would give u enough to buy an E bolt which can outshoot an RTP. Put a hyperframe on a mag and their about even. I just like the feel of a tippmann and how they are mad reliable. Thats why i traded my mag for an E bolt tippmann. No regrets.

MAG!

i have both, my mag (WHEN IT WAS STOCK) was much faster than my Tippman98 stock. Mags are much faster.

[Bad_Dog]

think of it this way...

if you have an expierienced player using a model 98, and a noob using a rental mag, I would hope that the tippy guy would shoot faster, especially if the noob has never played before...

[no_doz]

no way...

I think of Tippmann and Airgun Designs as paraeall(SP I can never spell this darn word) companys. Both of the basic models cost about the same stock. Both have a long tradition of building tough, reliable products, and both give you the option of upgrading your gun by kits or new parts so that it can perform to the best of its ability. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think mag owners can really rip on tippmann owners visa versa.

pbgear.com price for A-5 $239.75
pbgear.com price for 68 classic p/f $239.00
Difference $0.75

simply put:


TIPPS ARE *POOF*. thats why people around here call them the Ritzman 98 and the GAy-5. a-5 is overpriced, and the m98's are just... pieces of crap. i mean my friend spent like 150$ for his *POOF* gun. the thing sounds like a cannon.

ill shut up now because im not wasting my energy on spreading the word how tipps suck

*Warning: No Cussing* -Miscue

Dinger I would be careful about what you say because a few people would say things along the similar lines about your Piranha Core G3. I personally love tippmanns for their duribilty even though I've never owned one if rented thim out a few times. I haven't had much luck with piranhas myself but this is only my opinion......

[dinger]

lol dont worry man!! i already am well-aware that my gun is an official bonafide P.O.S. but its better than a tipp :o



at least my gun doesn't need an allen wrench and 1 minute of unscrewing to take it apart :o
