tippmann pistol

They're not that picky with paint.  Furthermore you can fire more than one magazine full of ammo per CO2 cartridge.  (I usually replace after emptying the mag twice; a friend of mine goes longer.)

The one point that Skeletor mentioned that I do agree with is, having used both types of paintball pistols, I find I prefer the tube feed style over the magazine feed system.  Yes, the magazine feed is much cooler, but it is handier to have more rounds before a reload is needed and I like being able to easily "top off" my pistol.

I don't care.  I'm still getting one.  Actually, I'm getting two.  And a trenchcoat.

Who said it was a phase?

Where is this silhouette you speak of I haven't seen it

I wonder how long it will be before someone tries to put an etrigger or a cyclone on it.

Hmmm I don't see the words "affordable" up there

 It does look a little like a Tac9

 

 

However under the barrel on the new tippman pistol (from the silhouette anyway) you may have room for a 12gm CO2 cartrage.

 Lets Hypothasize for a second that with the standard pistol size you can fit about 8 maybe 9 rounds in a grip magazine. And if you make air system effcient enough you could get 16 shoots out of a 12-16 shots out of 12gram.  This could reduce the production costs of the extra clips making them cheaper then $40 a pop.

Allthough that are under the barrel might be where they have the rail to add bells and whistles.  Which I personally am not that interested in. I just want a simple pistol that is easy to reload air and paint and wont cause me to take aout a second mortage.

Hmmmmmm   /me strokes chin 

 

Allow me to dream here. To eject the CO2 cartage you use a "pump" action like on a PGP pop another one in the slide it forward

I'm just going to cross my fingers and see what happens

Wow only 12-16 shot per 12g? I can shoot 3 1/2 magazies with my Tac8. Thats 30 balls.

 

So do you shoot a mag-remove it- reload the balls- then shoot it again? and you can get 3 mags out of 1 cartrage?

With out lossing air inbetween reloads?

 

If so proof in point that the CO2 should be able to be loaded independently from the balls
