Magazine fed Tippmann

I really think that Tippmann should think about some magazine fed markers.(other than the tpx, wich i will be getting this summer) I really like the looks of some that are on the market. and they sound great. but, I am really really partial to my tippmann, but the idea if using a hopper, then hitting a switch to go to magaizine sounds sooo apealing. Especially in todays games. Also love the idea of pulling the hopper off and going to just mag. I really wanna see tippmann do this with a new gun. Something tottaly upgrade  like the 98. A lot of kits to look like the real deal. Since Hammerhead and tippmann have teamed up, I bet they could come up with an awsome mag fed sniper rifle, (maybe like the M107 Barrett) but with the option to switch to hopper when the need arises. what do you think? (yes i know Rap4 has done this, but i wanna see tippmann do it. i want a tippman mag fed marker)

yea i agree, i'd reather wait and see what Tippmann does than buy one of them "other ones" right now..

Just curious. Why switch from a mag to a hopper with the flick of a switch? That would mean that both are on the marker at the time, and in that case why not just use the hopper and have a fake mag like a lot of milsim markers today? 

And the ability to use the hopper to fight your way in and out of a sitution, but able to pull the hopper off and use the mag when hiding or sniping.

I think that would be awesome, it would make it a lot more realistic. Think about an X7 with no hopper on the side!

the TPX is mine in T-minus 2 paychecks or 1 well c when i decide to through the dough instead of paying my bills

I doubt Tippmann will make it. Keep an eye out on modders forums.

Tac-8's have extended mag's available.

So it looks like Tacamo is coming out with something.  i saw this on RAP4...

"The Tacamo Magazine Conversion Kits will soon be available for:

Now you can carry the marker you know and trust...with the brand-new functionality of using interchangeable magazines. When you absolutely need the firepower of a squad automatic weapon - to keep up with hopper-fed markers in all-out paint slinging - the Tacamo Magazine Conversion Kits also accept the 250 round RAP4 Box Magazine!"

Here is the link with the rest of the info:

It's a great idea but RAP4 has not had a good history with hard goods or costumer service. I will say that Engler and Scenario arms should be watched on this matter and I'm going to see what people say about it before I but it.

lol i meant to put a ? in there somewhere my bad
