The official story was that a 'new tippmann product' was stolen. Some people assume this to mean it was the pistol.

I saw it, and I must say I'm disappointed. I'm hoping the marker I saw was "cheesy prototype" plastic. It just looked rough. Also, I'm getting the same "power tool" feelings I'm getting from the Triumph series.
And the trigger looks liked it was stolen from Brass Eagle! Really? I don't mind the rest, but the crappy ribbed plastic trigger NEEDS TO GO. Man I hope they aren't done refining it... |

Don't suppose anybody can tell us WHEN (exact day and time) the official unveiling is? I mean ya can't exactly keep it secret much longer, the cat's out of the bag in a manner of speaking, that pic of the tippmann pistol I posted is right now doing the rounds on a tonne of other paintball forums.

the most awesome part was that when we got the Original look at the Pistol I recommended the Lanyard Loop you see on the rear of the Pistol Grip. Everyone here has seen the grief stricken "have anyone found my Tac-8" threads on Game boards after major events. It's always cool to see something you recommend make it into a marker.
We used to have to have coiled lanyards on our Service Pistols in the Marines so you dont end up loosing it. I think It will save a lot of players grief. Still I thinks its more awesome looking than a Tac-8 |

I like the mag, where you using it at TWC last month? As I am building up some "spare" parts as I upgrade mine, I was thinking about making a pistol. Where did you get the barrel?

And I thank you, sir! It's a passion for me and as someone who's done it so long, well... To me playing pistol IS paintball. Loving paintball means loving pistol play, I do have to thank the best field I've ever played, Hell Survivors in Mi. If they hadn't been calling people out when I hit them once all these years, I couldn't exist as I do and still make an impact. You can't play pistol very well if you have to shoot people into submission! I've found that at the top skill levels(and with these guys around, WHEEEE! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8yfmM6hKCs ), it's the first few balls out of your gun that do the job or you're doomed, so why carry extra? For me, this picture says it all:
Heh, my gallery: Rob

Ah, Sorry RogueITSB, That's a little confusing as I was switching back and forth talking about my TAG and my Sheridan P68SC, both of which I wear as a sidearm at different times to my main pistol. The Cooper-T 'Better Bolt'(which backspins like a flatline) is in my P68SC. I suggested to a friend of mine, sidetapping the air through the side of the gripframe on the tag8. In this way you could remove the check valve from the magazine(replacing it with a plate for the screws that hold the mags together), then hardline the sidetap to an ASA under the barrel on the rail with one of the little 9.5/3000psi airtanks. You'd be able to use mags and C/A that way, but for my use 12grams are a must. Though when I play speedball(rarely), I use a 3.5co2:
However, for woods, big game and SPPL play, holster work is essential to my game, that's why I'm in line for a pair of Tippmanns! Rob Edited by AgentSmith - 20 October 2008 at 8:15am |

Just wanted to add that I'm glad they went with underbarrel CO2, since that makes it a lot easier to mod for constant air. With the Tib8, if you want constant air you're either losing the ability to change mags quickly (because the CA kit they sell is a nipple on a long tube that screws in where the puncture pin goes), or you're doing some serious, serious airsmithing. I did a really sick constant air-thru grip setup on my ACP 2.0 the only problem being that its internals are garbage and I go through cup seals faster than I can go through a 9oz. CO2 tank. If I could have an easy mag reload like the Tib8 with constant air, I'd play pistol primary a lot more often.
PS- AgentSmith- what's this about a Cooper-T bolt for the T8? Where would I find one of those? |

I havent heard any of platinum members getting an email and their addresses were not listed in the To: box, unless Tippmann sent out different emails.

I knew all the mods were on the list but I didn't realize that the other e-mails were limited to just platinum members. I got the impression that quite a few of the respected gold members and even a few regular members were on the list as well. |

No, not really. The emails went out to all the plat/mods. The unveiling will be at World Cup. They should be available within a month or so after that. |

From our conversation with Tippmann, they should be out long before then. |
