If your looking for rugged realiability at a great price Tippmann is a great choice. Is it better then every other marker? Well that depends who you ask.

I would have to say no to that question, but if you are limited by price range it is very nice. It will almost never break down and there are many upgrades for them all. They are probably the most reliable gun in paintball. Most of my friends have them and really like them. There are also many other higher performance guns that cost much more, but if you are a rec. paintballer than a tippmann is perfect. Hope i answered your question.

It is all opinion and preference. I have just started and everyone said that if you need a durable reliable gun, get a Tippmann 98c. I just got mine and i love it. Even if it is still stock, it still preforms very well. Tippmann makes great guns. Thats all there is to it. Is it better than some other guns? Couldn't tell you....

Tippmanns are made more for woodsball in my opinion, so they are probably the best woodsball guns, but for speedball, they would probably be beat just because of their shape, and performance, of course you could upgrade and tippmann a lot but it also depends on the skill of the player.

In the hands of the right player, any gun could be the best gun.

Tippmann's are known for they're great durability and customizability (lol is that even a word?). If your a new player looking for a good gun, Tippmann is the way to go.

tippmanns are best for woods ball in my opinion although they are definately not the best gun and arent better than any other one by far ... especially if we are talking about a tournament gun...

If you use it enough, It'll probably get used and reused and passed around till it gets to the guy who makes dictionarys and will become a word.

   Tippmanns are the best for the money you pay for them. The quality of
tippmanns are very high, but the next step up is a 1,000 dollar gun. Even
the 1,000 dollar guns are a small step above tippmanns and they are
harder to maintain. Have fun!

Boy, this really irks me.

What's this crap about price range??? Are you telling me that just because you spend 1000 bucks on a marker, it's better than my $275 A-5?

Hardly. The only people that use those expensive massive ROF markers are the people that need to.

I've used my A-5 speedballing plenty of times, and have had just as much success as the guys with the E-blades and IR3's. They can fire a million rounds a second. I can shoot straight.

There may be better markers than a tippmann out there, but as far as I'm concerned you people put far too much emphasis on price. You can pick up some $600 pieces of crap out there, but because it's monetary value is higher than that of my Tippmann, according to some of you, it's a better marker.

I've used many different products in the 7 years I've been playing. Everything from Brass eagle, Autocockers, Phiranas, Kingmanns, Armotechs, and even got a chance to mess with an IR3 once.

What markers do I STILL use? My tippmanns.

If you want to dump a crap-load of money on something that'll throw more paint than me, knock yourself out. Screw around with timing it, the electronics, the high maintence, etc, etc, etc.

Tippmanns are rugged, reliable markers, that are easy to operate, and can be upgraded to any tournament level you'd like.

It's not all about firepower.

Someone's sig has it right "Only girls play with toys that need batteries."

Tippmann is well known.

It's a reliable gun, anyone can own one. Great customer service, moderatly cheap.

It's not the fastest gun, not the most accurate. It has a simple design.

But it is highly upgradable. If your new to Paintball I would suggest a Tippmann.

This is me, standing up and applauding the comments of Reb Cpl! That is the greatest piece of truth that I have ever seen written or heard spoken.

I too will proudly aplod Reb Cpl!!! its more what you are comfertable with than rof or accuracy. i know a guy that could pone us all with a pump but he has ben using it for 10 years and is very good with it. all an angle is is a waste of good paint. you dont need more than 15-20 pb/s and a 14 inch barrel and you will pone if your good.everyone buys expensive markers thinking they will improve your game and they might but there no more than a crutch for bad fundementals. just pracktice the fundementals: stalking, trigger controle, breathing, and accuracy. allso know your limits dont fire if your not gunna hit anything all you do is tell everyone where you are. the stalk is the most important skill by far, they cant shoot you if they dont know where you are i personaly will get to within 20 ft without people noticing im there and then fire. im telling you pracktice walking through the woods in full gear quietly if you can do that your set

I wouldn't trade my tippmann for another gun. When people tell me that Tippmanns suck, I just laugh to myself. I feel sometimes like I have something to prove by playing with my 98...I love showing people how little Tippys suck.
