This is my opinion. I would be glad to hear yours, but please reinforce your opinion and don't just type one sentence that doesn't describe why you think I'm wrong. I think Tippmanns, overall, are the best guns you can buy. Now you might be saying, "Wtf is wrong with you? The new Dye DM28 and my own Angel FruitFly can fire at 58 bps! No Tippy can compare!" So now you say "Well, theres a lot of Tippmanns out there, and they are all the same black bland color. My new "insert generic high-end marker here" is rare and unique, intimidating my opponents with a gun that they have never once laid eyes on before!" But you still might be wondering why I truly believe I think Tippmanns are the best markers you can buy. You can spend $1200 bucks on a gun with useless features that will need fixing every time you play, or you can spend $200 on one that will never fail you and you can trust. I choose the $200 option. I'm sure there are people who will disagree on me with this. If you do disagree and wish to post here, make sure to explain why in great detail. |

I Agree also Wildfire.
If I didn't think Tippmann was the best why did I just spend $600 on a 98c? there not even worth that much. But EXACTLY what you pointed out... whats the point of going more then 5pbs(I'm ganna bump this up to 12<sorry, I'm a Rec/Speed Freak>) I belive that these "FruitFly" Markers are basically all the same, the only diffrence is; is who's name is on it, who has spent more on Advertising, and etc... I'm Hopping that my E98c may make it till 2008, in which I will <sigh> buy one of these "Fruitfly" markers. Thats if I'm still into paintballing. |

The way I see it is this: I'm no expert player, but I do like to play as much as possible. I don't want a gun that will hold me back, but I also don't want a gun that simply "does too much."
All I need is for my gun to shoot reliably and accurately. Since paintball guns are basically all the same in the accuracy department, I go for reliability. Tippmann is the topdog in this department. Plus the guns are affordable, look cool, and can be upgraded to do "more stuff." I don't need a gun to give me an advantage, I just want it to work. That's why I shoot Tippmann paintguns. Plus, if you really want to rip an A5RT gives you the best of all worlds. |

Ugh. First off, you can't go over 100%. You sound like one of those ignorant deadbeats on daytime TV saying "I'm 100000000% sure I ain't dat baby's daddy cuz she's a ho!" Second, define "best". Tippmanns aren't the fastest firing markers out there, the easiest to field strip, the most upgradable(there are definatly more upgrades for cocker's, which are upgraded sniper pumpsanyways) or the most efficient. So they aren't "best" at any of those things. However, I will say they're reliable as heck, modestly priced and overall pretty good. They're probably he best guns outtherefor ME.

Agreed. However, I am surprised no one has completely disagreed with me yet. I mean, I go to my field and have all these kids that say "TIPPMANNS SUCK!" when they either don't own a marker, or have some Walmart Brass Eag As for having someone shoot paint at you by the cases, I rely on my teammates to distract, then I run for another bunker, vice-versa, rinse, repeat. |

Plus, when you spend time modding and customizing your marker, you know it is much more different than any out of the box marker. Mine is just mechanical, but is still plenty fast for me. While we are on durabilty, beat this 98 with your $1200 marker: This marker was dropped in the sand multiple times, left in the rain several times, had a jug of anti-freeze spilled into it in the back of a truck, and wasn't cleaned for at least 6 months. It also was ran over by a four wheeler once and fell out of my truck (dirt road, only ~20 mph). When it was brought to me for cleaning, the bolts were completely rusted in. It had some nasty sand/paint mix all over the trigger assembly and was generally filthy. I couldn't believe it still worked.

Sure, but would you rather have a gun that shoots 100 bps and falls apart every time you play, or one that doesnt shoot so fast but will never fail you. I don't care how fast a marker can shoot. If it falls apart, breaks down, or need maintainence everyday, then its not a good marker IMO. |

I would have to agree with you on that one. The great thing about Tippmann's is that they are reliable, yes, but they are also fast if you upgrade them. The upgrades list is outstanding. To make it shoot faster you can also buy the e-grip or the e-bolt. Overall Tippmann's are #1 in my book. You will also notice with your answers that many new players will say that Tippmann's suck because they don't shoot fast. With that statement you made you nailed it. Great post.

You cannot define "best marker" because its all an opinion and preference. I personnally like tippmanns, but I like my mech cocker better. Some people just dont like tippmanns. Some people don't mind tweaking there marker(probably not after everygame I mean like 1 time in a day of play). My cocker breaks down rarely because I take good care of it and dont mind taking care of it. What I am trying to say is that I am not dissagreeing with you but that you can not define the "best marker" because thats an opinion. |

Well sure. Several times I stated that Tippmanns being the best were just my opinion, and the topic title even says "why I think" they are the best. I'm not saying they are the best, just saying thats what I believe. Everyone has their own thoughts, opinions and styles. Each to his own. |
