WOOOOO!  The UPS man just arrived, and I literally ran down the stairs to pick this beauty up.

Very nice case that it comes in, feels sturdy, and has two latches to keep it closed:

When you open it you find all the various tools and such, and an extra clip:


And for size reasons, here it is being held in my hand:


I'm about to see if I can get to walmart in under half an hour and pick up some paint and air!

I really like the idea of having tiny windows in the grip/ top to see where your paint is.  I haven't used it enough to actually tell how well I'd be able to look at it and go "ok, 4 left" or if it's more of an indicator of if you're out of not, but very nice.

Taking over Ruska's thread for mine too





Already started tinkering with it. Polished up the barrel tip and quickchange cap. Took that metal barrel sleeve out too since it doesnt really seem to do anything structurally. Im trying to decide if I should mill some fins or something into it

I have to say. The metal barrel sleeve looks pretty cool. But like you said. If you can do some milling on it. And make it look even cooler. That would be cool. And if you screw up on it, it looks cool without it too.

Not in the slightest. Its like a balanced spool valve hybridized with an automag. Very slick. Cant wait to see Tippmann use the system in a full-size gun.

Okay so. Things I learned today: Never ever ever open up the clip of the TPX.

It makes re-assembling a 98 custom in a dark room while on fire look easy. I still havent gotten it back together.
