*Pic* Nice tippman

[tooslow]

I don't get it. What do you mean by "limited". Are you trying to compare a $150 Tippmann to a cocker or other high end gun? Or are you comparing them to guns like Spyders and Piranhas?

Dont underestimate the electro conversion for the M98... uncapped it can outshoot the Ricochet and Revvys with ease. A Warp is needed.

[Flamebo]

Where'd the pic go?

[Prezents]

Barrel cost

I have a question,,, what did that cost, the barrel?
was it more than the 98??

[Flamebo]

good god... that's the stupidest thing I've ever seen.

[hobbes]

Guranteed range of 12-18 inches over ANY gun? I think not unless he either A)adjusts the velocity or B)has a tippmann flatline (which will make the balls go further but the effective range is only so far). Just because someone slaps a large barrel on something doesn't mean it's a "sniper" gun or a has a longer range than what you said was "over any gun out there". It has been proven time and time again that ANY and all guns shooting the same fps will all shoot about the same range (give ir take and inch or 2). But the things that come into effect are wind, the type of paintballs, and downshooting. Also you try to act as though your 150 dollar tippmann is so great because it's 150 bucks. Well here add one the conversion kit (295 dollars, E-Bolt, paintballgear.com) add on the warp feed (148- 199 dollars ,depnds on pro team or agd, paintballgear.com) then the revvy, a 12 volt (54.99,clear, paintball gear.com), then the tank (look sot be a 68 inch fiber wrapped, roughly 200 dollars) then the expansion chamber on the tippman (35.99 888paintball.com ,could not find on paintballgear.com) oh yeah and the drop foreward (35-60 bucks) and I could only guess what your barrel cost, 150-? dollars. So essentially your $1070.98 marker (that was using the lowest values) can shoot just as far as any other, then why is it so special? And your barrel is too long to be any better. I belive past 18 inches they don't help accuracy and just waste more gas. And why do you have an expansion chamber when you run compressed air? I just saw that and had soemthing to say. Later.

hobbes less flaming........please. It's an interesting gun. Just leave it at that. It's getting to the state where I can't even share a picture without you guys arguing.

[hobbes]

X-Plosive, that wasn't emant as a flame at all, if it was then sorry, but I just wanted to correct some things. Well i Liked the idea, but just a few things were inpractical. Later.

hobess, I believe that the quote was to be a joke. You see, it has the 12-18 inches of extra barrel than a regular one.

[sniper1rfa]

good lord, that barre is a waste of aluminimum

you couls make like 2 emag extreme bodies and like 5 regular mag bodies with just the barrel. lol. probably is really esy to sight with though...

[M-a-s-sDriver]

Living in Alaska apparently ruins your sense of humor. Must be the mosquitos. You see Nick, since that barrel is 10-18" longer than most barrels, and knowing that you are correct in your knowledge that the range coming out of the barrel of any gun is virtually identical givin the same velocity, then you can obviously determine that you may gain that all important foot and a half range gain from, say, your foregrip.
Now, I will admit that this subtle humor was not in my best form, and in the future I will try to maintain the high degree of comedy I usually reserve for these honorable AO members. But please Mr. Nick, in the meantime...GIVE ME A BLEEPING BREAK FOR GOD'S SAKE!
This thread is going to make me get all drunk and angry tonight at a policeman's retirement dinner,so I hope you are pleased with yourself.

that's uuh, interesting.

[Major Ho]

Hmmm....That olympic pole vaulting event comes in mind :P
Oh my imagination is starting up again...uh oh

[magman007]

Just to clear things up

That isnt an expansion chamber at all. That is tippmans answer to a low pressure kit. That is why he is using it with the compressed air.

now put a 240z co2 tank on the bottom line and ya get a new meaning to "reach out and touch someone" *8P
