Tippmann, "Too Ugly?"

 Dear God you people I swear...

 I did not hate Tippmann and I do not like Spyder.

The plastic part I did not know, I thought the standard Military rifles today were made of straight out Steel and Aluminium. Why would any gun be made of plastic. It cracks and breaks and needs glue to be repaired. Second I didn't say that they were not completely durable. The frame is great but the excess parts like trigger guard and fore grip was my only complaint and the Plastic shroud.  I would rather prefer metal over plastic any day especially body work parts. Oh for sure that shroud should have been metal. Yeah that metal shroud you were talking about looks ugly. Wheres the handle cmon...

  My aim for my gun is looks, looks as in Military looking. My only opinon here was the 98's skinny frame. Now my favorite gun is the M-16A1. I can't mod that 98 because the frame is too skinny. It will never be as thick and wide as the M-16 body marker. Unless  ****SUGGESTION***** Tippmann makes a marker body expansion, and more senario barrels that would help me on my M-16 mod. The BT barrel for the Tippmann. No way its too short and besides I want it to be the M-16 not the M4. Another thing I want my guns to be accurate so these barrels can't be inaccurate just for looks.

Looks first, quality second thats how I see it. If you have an awsome gun that can kick anyones *** and looks just like a real military weapon than that is what I want. Besides I rely on Tippmann, its simply setup and is strong I can tell my holding one. The plastic has to go. But looks and stlye should not be left alone but made better. Its called the 98 Custom for a reason... I want to make my 98 unique and make others go wow thats amazing. Unless all of these mods exist, which I have searched for a while now, please do care and brag and insult me more as though I did something wrong. Oh whoever it was called me a twerp cmon over here and I show you a **** twerp! Kepp this PG rated...

 Yeah and Spyder was not my choice, I chose the 98 because everyone said how accurate they are, way more accurate than spyder... I want my guns accurate and now I want them to look insane.  I wanted the 98 to bethat gun, but I need Tippmann to make those parts and I am sure others would want solid reliable parts they can feel great playing with.

you're a sad, sad little (man?)

the M-16 A1 has a very narrow frame, only as wide as a 98, if that...

you make me so angry i could sucker-punch a nun...again

Wow, such words from a lil twerp....next time try using the Search option for your questions you moron.

I have to agree with most of the people here. 

1.  Tippmann is one of the most realistic looking markers out there.  and as so many people have said,

2.  They are durable beyond any other markers. 

3.   They aren't all colorfull because, lets face it, black blends alot better than matellic red in the woods.

4.  I wasn't all to impressed with the plastic shroud for the flatline for the 98...but i have never had any problems with it.

You wanna flame or what ever the **edited** you said for no damn reason than go **edited** your self. I made a damn suggestion if you took it the wrong way than **edited** you! Grow up and learn to read you illiterate **edited** and watch your mouth I said nothing to offend your precious twig. I suggested new mod kits but you couldn't read that part. **edited** you is all I can say you **edited**ing jerk!

Wow.

Cosmetics first, performace second?????

Go play airsoft then dweeb.

wow, y didnt he just ask, should tippmann make a new marker?

hey bro, guess what.

you didn't guess.

The parts are out there, just that Tippmann doesn't make them.Nor will they ever make them.

Check out Englers Designs.

I've never broken any of the plastic pieces when using the M-16 adaptation that the Canadian Forces use- and believe me, I've put that weapon through its paces. The composite (to call it plastic is insulting) stock is designed to deliver a severe beating to a person's skull and be just fine- and it does the job.

To say Tippmanns look realistic is ridiculous. If you want realistic paintball markers, RAP-4 series markers ar ethe best looking- except they shoot a different calibre at 400fps. In terms of field legal markers, Ariakons are probably the best, followed closely by Armotech. ATS does some good stuff, with a very interesting magazine-fed system, the only .68 markers to boast that. The ONLY good Tippmann commercial MilSims I've ever seen have been from Engler- he does some amazing stuff. the AK-A5 is a work of art, and the Dragunov is beyond words. The Opsgear stuff is all overpriced garbage for what it is.

Those who claim Tippmanns are inherently 'realistic' need better familiarity with real firearms. It CAN be done, but if you want the MilSim look, buy a MilSim marker.
