tippman the worst marker design ever ???

[chronic john]

not to destroy or wreck one of the inovators of the first semi auto paint markers in history . what a design a cast body its absolutely horible the same basic metal used as the 1989 68 special white metal the worst metal that can be found then off to dissasembling the marker what a picnic that is actually splitting a gun in half with its 15 screws . then we have the infamous tippy elbows that have been breaking and shaking since the first one made plastic come on now its right on the side of the gun swinging in the wind i thought hinges were for doors not elbows hahahaha . then lets go to the internals now that a joke . tolerance i guess in the tippy world is if it fits itl work . then the flatline barrel thats the ultimate pile of poop comeon now back spin through a bent barrel that if its mounted right it will barelt shoot as good as a good strait barrel like a c-p or a s-p the bore in the barrel is horrible compared to most of the barrels out there . bassicaly if your a noob or just your average player that does it for recreation once in a while then its an alright gun for a 150.00 but if your gonna be a avid paintballer or are just strait addicted to paintball dont buy a tippy the upgrades are just as horrible as the design of the gun and exspensive to . there like the a-k 47 of paintball thell take dropping them and runnnin some dirt through em and still be a decent gun but there are much better buys out there and much quieter guns also that dont look like they were made in a gumball factory . sorry that just my oppinion but im tired of the tippy guys buying stuff for an inferior gun that cost by the time your done upgrading it 500 + and ya still have a poop machine .

Mabe if you spelled correctly, used proper grammar, and put paragraph spaces, I would have read that crumpled up jargon!

i got 4 sentences into it....

all i can say about tippmann is that they some of the best customer service in the industry, and their markers are solid.

A buddie of mine, who I talked into playing paintball again, had a Tippy mini-lite that sat in his closed for 4 or 5 years. I took a look at it and told him which parts he needed to replace. He called Tippmann who sent him the parts for free. His gun worked like a charm after the replacement parts. Cheap and reliable is pretty much the point with Tippmann. You could do worse, like expensive and unreliable.

I really couldn't understand what you just said, so I'll talk about what I did understand.

-It's not that hard to disassemble, at least for me.
-The elbow is just fine, I have never had a problem and I know no one who has.
-I have no idea what you were trying to say about the Flatline, but it does what it's designed to do, give the gun a longer range.

Yes, Tippys are not the best gun out there but they're pretty reliable and good for rec ball.

my friend has a tippmann (c98) and i think its a great gun. I(we) have never taken it apart because it is never broken and it is so reliable. Plus the elbow works so i think its a good solid gun

[chronic john]

for one thing this aint spelling class or a soap opera i was stating my oppinion about there design huh 10 screws for a gun that splits in half . flatline a bent barrel for range stupid . these guys that post spell words and check your periods . *poof* im outa school been out since 87 spelling dont mean anyting what 3 words spelled wrong a few peiods missing . this sounds like my 6th grade spelling class teachers . hahahahahaha no one made you read it whinersssssssssssssssssssssss

For being as old as you claim to be, you sure act like a 12 year old. Grow up.

dude, tippys rock. a-5 arent the easiest to disasemble but they still rock. plus they are built like a tank, throw it against a tree then go and bunker somone. they have cool upgrade like e trigger,rt,flatline and more. they are one of the most upgradable guns in history. i have to eat breakfast, ill be right back to rant some more

[m-98]

I just checked, it's six screws, not ten. And it was more than a few punctuation marks, it was most of them.

[Brak]

yeah you definitely arent trying to "destroy" it by calling the flatline a "pile of poop". and intelligent person wouldnt do something like that. and besides, put a flatline next to any SP barrel and shoot them side by side and you will see that a flatline shoots FARTHER. that is what its meant to do.

and tippys are hard to be taken apart because you are only supposed to ever few months because they are reliable. can you read that? r-e-l-i-a-b-l-e.

and since youve been out of school since 87 (was it middle school? or did you just stop after 5th grade?) you are obviously WAY smarter than ANY of the people in the R&D division of tippmann. i really would like to see you design something better. would you like to try?

[LittlePaintballBoy]

good post brak. ok more stuff about the a-5(since i have one). you dont need to buy a hopper! the hopper for it holds more paint!you dont have to reload as often!fastest on gun feeding system in the world ! the Best customer service HANDS DOWN! need a part? they will give it to you FOR FREE!

[Jazzman]

How can you knock the M98? You can take batting practice with it, hammer nails with it, pound in tent stakes, and still play a full day of paintball with it. Seriously man, if you're this bored, go for a walk, or clean your kitchen. Anything.

[langrage]

I feel for the 125.00 there really isn't a better gun. They are pretty undestuctable. That is why so many feilds use them as rentals. In cold weather, in the rain, after being dragged thru dirt they will work.

I also don't think you should call people whinners when your thread was basically whinning about a gun.
