Well, i somewhat agree with the dealer making fun of me cuz he we being very rude, and i was just holding it in. i didnt feel like talking to him. but of course my stupid mom had to say "My son has a tippmann, are there any speedball fields around here"

the guy at my pro shop thinks tippmanns are the best guns for woodsball and timmy's are the best speedball guns. which i agree i wouldn't care for a tippmann if i was playing speedball i'd want a evil pimp or something like that.

i bet this gets to be 5 pages

Yeah, you DM lovers are right it doesnt stand a chance on the speedball field. Thats why there are two perfessional teams that use Tippmanns.

Viking?
small light (when milled) fast.

Depends, they're both rock solid.

I haven't been on these forums in a long time. I was just fooling around and seeing if I could pick up an electric sear tripping 98c since they have those kits now instead of ebolts. I thought it'd be real fun to put my proto in the bag and come out with a 98c on full auto with my VLocity. Even better if I had one with PSP ramping.

It'd be a solid loaner gun and fun to play with.

Overall... A tippmann is not even close to as good as a dm6, you'd be nuts to think so. It might be able to throw paint as fast with upgrades, but otherwise they are in 2 different leagues. Anyone that thinks otherwise has probably not shot another gun.

The main stumbling block for Tippmanns are the heavy internals which means heavy recoil.  This leads to inaccuracy compared to many other guns.  Sometimes it's just fun to pull the trigger on a 98 and have the gun bouncing around all over the place in your hands.

speedball isn't all about rolling your markers...  you have to know where, and when to shoot...  it also helps if you know where to move, know how to snapshoot, and perhaps if you can run, that would be helpful too.  And a 98 can keep up with a DM...  it takes alot of modding, but it can...  Also, an e-98 is more compact and lighter than my 01 intimidator (but the timmy is also the heaviest, bulkiest marker i've owned)...  I know, where you are coming from on the second part...  Airball is alot easier with a shocker than a tippmann.... especially if you play mid or front...  but really, 98s arn't meant to be a tourny marker...  and it would be easier and possible less money if you just bought a used PM on PBnation than upgrade a tippy.  I'm tired of people saying tippys arn't good markers though...  tippmann shares the responsibility of helping tournement paintball grow....
