Concerning a Tippmann pistol

I've read alot of stuff on this forum about the idea of a tippmann pistol, and I've heard all the nay-sayers claiming a pistol is pointless but there is one thing people seem to be forgetting about. The fact is most people who want a pistol aren't looking for a backup they are looking for a main gun to use when there low on paint, or short on cash or are playing a role in a scenario where a pistol would fit nicely. So what would be so wrong with tippmann making a pistol? The pistols out there even though some of them stink sell very well, and I think its a novel idea having a reliable pistol with bullet proof customer available to the masses. To borrow a phrase from someone else, Ustilago.

Low on cash would throw the phantom idea out the window, for a nicely setup one your looking at what $200 plus?

How is what I described a backup pistol?Defining back up as gun your carrying along with you and your main gun for when your stuck between reloads or your other gun goes down?

Some people just want to take a decent pistol onto the field, is that to much to ask? Without paying $600+ for a squall or micro squall? I'm talking about people who want to play with solely a pistol, call it stockclass semi if you will. Why should the only decent choice be offered by Armotech or its affilates? I'm eagerly awaiting the return of the sidekick semi.

If yer belly achin so much fer a new type of paintball pistol, why dont you jus create one fer yerself.

I'm really looking for something thats semi-auto, I have enough pistol sized pumps already. The PGP is a good choice though, at least the old one. If I wanted to go new in that situation I'd part with less bones and pick up a sidekick stock.

Enos Shenk, I would very much like to see new things and ideas hit the market, I have some ideas of my own but alas I lack resources. I hope you fare better then me.

I've thought plenty about making a pistol for myself, don't have the time or energy and rather be playing then sitting in the shop. But if you want me to design one "fer" myself I will and you can build it for me. If thats not to your liking stick it.  Are you just trying to be a dummy? Why are you so ignorant?
