Tippman stopped distribution through National over a intellectual property dispute.

Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts. -
Interesting, wonder what they are fighting over??:hail: AGD :hail: CCI :hail: -
Probably intellectual property.

The particular intellectual property is that National was working on a prototype gun that was essentially identical to the A-5, just without the cyclone and it had a better foregrip.Originally posted by FSU_PaintballProbably intellectual property.

Look at the BT series of guns from National. They look REMARKABLY like the Tippmann guns.
This wouldn't be a first though. National will take a product, do research on it and then produce a near copy of it.Comment

Wait a second, can someone please explain, because I always thought Ben Tippmann was the son of Tippmann SR.?Comment

I thought BT meant Battle Tested, but was likely intentionally designed to let people make the wrong assumption - and yes, it is Tippmann - the person, not the company.Originally posted by peewee"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better.

Maybe the BT line? I know he's Ben Tippmann, but he left Tippmann when that big company took over.Originally posted by peewee[Something Cool is Here]Comment

It's is the BT line...'was' Ben Tippmann before TPI forced the change to BT by NPS. It was purposely done to confuse the public and NPS got called on it. NPS does that all the time as most of it's product line is a cheap knockoff made over seas to purposely control the US market and knock out US manufacturers, even at the cost of NPS losing money in the short run to gain marketshare in the long.
The vast majority of the BT is a blatent copy and rip off, made inexpensivley over seas, of TPI (AKA Tippmann Sports LLC) and PTP product.Comment
