i just thought of an idea for a tippmann high end gun. it is simple really they just buy WDP since they are tippmannn's european disturb. ,and they now have the right backing , and then make an angel/ tippmann hybrid. so what do you all think? or they could buy out AKA, sign teh deal with smart parts and make the new tippman vikings. i know just mad ramblings but hey who knows what they would do.
A-5
E-grip
J&J 14 in. 2 piece ceramic
16 in. smart part progressive tough coat finish
8 in. lapco
centerflag 68/3000 HPA
AKA sidewinder
JCS adjustable blade trigger

Try submitting that idea to the company that bought Tippmann and see what they say.

uuhm why would they have to buy a company... why not just make a lighter, more compact, electro, and low pressure gun with eyes..

That is.. if they choose to make a speedball gun.

^ exactly what i was thinking. they don't need to buy out a
company, they have enough money as it is to make their own
"speedball" guns.

I personally like the feel and looks of the tippmans. They are rugged, durable, and balanced. I dont like spaceguns. When I hold those other electro's, I feel like I'm playing with a toy from bro's toy chest. I sure as heck dont need a 31 bps to hit my target once.

All Tippmann needs (In my mind) is a nice small but powerfull gun for speedball. The procarbine needs an upgrade.

I think Tippmann should just continue to make the most durable guns they can. Not some gun that will need checked on every game.

I think tippman could make some good money if they would make a gun like a "browning 50 caliber style gun" scenario players would love to lay down cover fire with that. i would, they could design a special hopper so it wont chop and it could shoot 15 balls a sec. my a-5 shoots 12 bps thats good for me but i know there are people out there want more fire power.

if you were known for making durable guns that work extremely well, why WOULDN'T you make a speedball gun.  You'd be cattering to more players AND making more money.  I say go for it, tippmann, make a speedball gun

Tippmann guns are the best becasue they are what they are. Not cross breads with some piece of crap from europe. Let Tippmann be. If they want to come out with a speedball gun, they will.

What I think they really need to make is some kind of a belt fed super gun that can shoot a million balls a second!!!!! Holy crap people, keep it realistic ok.
A-5 w/ 12IN. Lapco Bigshot.
R/T
20oz. and 16oz. tanks.

98c with 14In. Terminator
14oz. and 9oz. tanks.

a tippmann speedball gun is realistic, but buyin out a company to do it isn't.  like i said, it might make sense for them to atleast try to make a speedball gun.  If you are known for durable guns that rock, why not, right?

^i c where you're coming from but that just isnt tippmann's style (makn speedball guns) they like making guns that the buyer can customize into his/her own unique gun. i think that if they were to make a speedball gun they'd end up putting more into it then they would get out of it and thats y they're not doing it.

As long as Tippmanns sales are doing fine they aren't going to do anything dramatic like coming out with a new gun.

Tippmann dominates the woodsball market. Its a small market with only a few major companys compteting and Tippmann is ahead by far. The speedball market has 372627252672 companys making almost identical guns. And woodsball has greater participation than speedball. So why would the big fish in a big pond try to jump to a little fish in a little pond? They would actualy LOSE money and be cattering to LESS players.

Besides the r-t and E-grip are basic yet durable speed ball and the a-5 can keep up with most everything out there. besides people with angels can still get tagged with a pump or a sling shot for that matter (i know sling shots arn't allowed in paintball0
A-5 E-Grip Jcs Trigger PMI Nitro soon to be WGP Karnivor or X-Mag

If tippmann bought out WDP my world would come to an end.
