Don't luahg at me for asking this, but is Tippmann working on a new gun? I mean I know they probably are always working on gun ideas and stuff, but have they released any plans to make a new gun?

Yes. They are working on a new gun. Same with WGP, WDP, Bob Long, Kingman, Eclipse, Free flow, and every other company out there...

This is true, the company is done making guns, they will focus on making stainless steel cuttlery for the cullinary division of sales and for paintball bayonetts.

I like answering this one. After having a roommate who was a business major, I know how this stuff works. Chances are, The new marker is close to, if not completely ready to be marketed but for one little thing...the A-5. Tippmann is making plenty of money off of the A-5, enough that putting a new marker out at this point would negate their sales. The new product would actually be in competition with the A-5 and it's upgrades. They'll wait until the A-5 sales spike to release their new one. Milk the current line for all it's worth, then go with something fresh. |

Sure. Why would they go thru the costs of retooling their shop to mass produce a totally new marker, when the A-5 hasn't been on the market that long yet, and is still selling very well. |

The 98c's are still selling, yes, but they aren't making NEARLY the prifit off of those as they are off the A-5.

yeah well I'm sorry to tell all you guys that say they arn't or never will make a new gun because Brandon shower's of Tippmann Effect seems to think so I would take his word, oh and here is some proof in the interview at Paintball Star, its about half way down the page, the interview asks about the new investment firm.
