HIGH END MARKERS

Why wont tippmann make a gun that shoots more than 20 bps? i mean seriously nobody can really compete in arena ball with a gun that doesn't shoot fast enough. Yes i know that players say that it's not the gun that makes the player...but it sure wud help! O.k, i have an A-5 and everyone ive talked to is going to ditch that and get an intimidator or shocker, tippmann you have to stay with the competiotion!the A-5 is not only heavy but shoots slow even with the e-grip cranked up on turbo. I think you and your developers should go into a meeting at tippmann headquarters and plan a light,fast,appealing gun. I know that tippmann doesn't have a legecy of areana play,it's usually for woods. But everyone knows that paintball is moving fast,it's turning more into a sport than a rampage through the woods shooting people. I love tippmann and i always will but it would be nice if i could buy an awsome gun that i could say to my friends with DM4's "man i can kick ur butt anyday with my tippmann"

Um so if you don't want to use tippmann guns for "arena ball" then maybe you should go buy that DM4

You say that the Paintball Industry is growing, which is true, and a big part of that growth is new players.  From what I know, a lot of new players start out with tippmanns, so obviously tippmann doesn't need to be making $1200 guns to stay on top of the business like they already are.

Thats what this is for:

I'm a diehard tippmann user, but If they sell out to the fancy painthose god gun buyers, I'm gonna be let down severely. They don't need to do that. They've got the rec market cornered. There's no need to cater to the morons who need to shoot 20 bps.

You should remember, Tippmann is not only making money in the US, theyre making money outside the US, inwhich the "All Mighty Dollar is a considered Gold".
