Any Tippmann will be a solid marker.

Damn i hate reviews Look at this one these Reviews are from Pbreview.com My My friend bought this gun and wrote the review-
Weaknesses: Barrel, no famous spiral porting , they could at least throw the progressive on it stock. this barrel is horrible. I've heard and seen cases in which the inside of the barrel is powder coated. Terrible quality control on SP's part. There is a big difference between micro honed and powder coated. Feedneck, not clamping but it does have orings in it meaning it might stay tight, but be prepared to do a lot of sanding. another decent feedneck (made of decent aluminum) will go for another 40 bucks. Regulator- not even a max flow, just a downgraded version. i experience velocity spikes of +/- 25 FPS and my paint to bore was PERFECT. and that was after i fixed the leak on it. And there is tons of drop off once you hit 8+ bps. I was shooting 280 and when I started shooting fast it was in the low 200's. Body- low grade aluminum covered by "polymer" (PLASTIC) shell. looks really bad, everybody at the local field made fun of its looks. i was sad. Internals- I took this thing apart and it was pretty simple. except i noticed one thing right away - the solenoid coil - it was in plain sight - exposed. This is a very fragile part of the solenoid and deserves some protection. I can see this getting to be a problem in the future, I haven't opened my gun since then in fear of nicking coil. A two way solenoid, not too impressive. This is what the older BKO's used. Board - the board is capped at 17, some of my friends can walk a trigger faster than this - Why cap it at 17 when all u have to do is change a few numbers in the code to make it faster? Bad move sp. My guess is they capped it there because the solenoid is probably really bad and will explode if you cycle too fast.. Kick- This gun had a lot of kick to it, comparable to a spyder. Feel - Felt plasticy, reminded me of holding a brass eagle blade - I definitely didn't dig it. Trigger - It was plastic and had a bad setup - Was hard to pull fast or consistantly, magnet was way to strong stock. EDIT: Somebody at the local field with an ion got his trigger shot off in a game, the trigger just broke - very weak. Lack of color options, yellow red blue black - all looks the same (really bad) no fades just looks plastic. This is one loud gun. Duckbill- Makes for a long setup and provides no On/off features. Not comfortable NOT durable at all- I slid into a bunker and my feedneck hit the edge, now i cant take my feedneck off because the threads are messed up. if i ever want to take it off its going to cost 100 dollars, that's what smart parts said.- and he gave it a 2 review and one other guy gave it a 1 i'm not sure what to do. Ahhh This sucks... Last edited by Spyder man : 04-27-2005 at 05:26 PM. |

ok most of the upgrades he recomended would of added a lot more money. the maxflo is 100, fades wouldve added maybe 50, aluminum grip would cost another 50 and for the barrel stock barrels are mostly just alluminum with a hole drilled through it thats one of the firrst upgrades u should by unless it already came with an aftermarket barrel, even if they did add the progressive thats another 30. the price would now be 515. that would make it pretty much the new impulse. the guy obviously doesnt know how to adjust a trigger also, and no one can hit 20 bps without ramping or bounce and most tournaments are capped at 15 bps so theres no need to make the marker capped any higher.
if your looking for a great gun then get an ion, and u can still run co2 on it but N2 is recomended becuz after awhile co2 will mess up a gun and that goes for any gun.

ive heard nothing ut nie things about the ion. also, the wrath. those are both tourny grade markers under 300 dollars. i, personally would get the wrath. it looks more like a timm, and i agree with the reviewer of the ion, the shell just looks stupid to me.
