    Posted: 10 April 2010 at 12:48pm
I really think that Tippmann should think about some magazine fed markers.(other than the tpx, wich i will be getting this summer) I really like the looks of some that are on the market. and they sound great. but, I am really really partial to my tippmann, but the idea if using a hopper, then hitting a switch to go to magaizine sounds sooo apealing. Especially in todays games. Also love the idea of pulling the hopper off and going to just mag. I really wanna see tippmann do this with a new gun. Something tottaly upgrade  like the 98. A lot of kits to look like the real deal. Since Hammerhead and tippmann have teamed up, I bet they could come up with an awsome mag fed sniper rifle, (maybe like the M107 Barrett) but with the option to switch to hopper when the need arises. what do you think? (yes i know Rap4 has done this, but i wanna see tippmann do it. i want a tippman mag fed marker)Big smile

i think it was called the 68 special. it was magazine fed, but not in the way that you are talking about.

Just curious. Why switch from a mag to a hopper with the flick of a switch? That would mean that both are on the marker at the time, and in that case why not just use the hopper and have a fake mag like a lot of milsim markers today?

^^^ Because the 8-10 extra rounds could make all the difference.

And the ability to use the hopper to fight your way in and out of a sitution, but able to pull the hopper off and use the mag when hiding or sniping.

I think that would be awesome, it would make it a lot more realistic. Think about an X7 with no hopper on the side!

You shouldn't bump old posts if you don't have anything useful to contribute.

I own a Tpx and I really love it. However, I would really like tippmann to come out with a ten ball mag. I know they just came out with the 7 shot true feed.  all they would have to do to make the 10 round is make the mag longer, keep it a straight feed like the 7 shot. It would be awesome

I doubt Tippmann will make it. Keep an eye out on modders forums.

Tac-8's have extended mag's available.

I think it is a good idea. I love my tpx. It is a great gun once you learn what kind of paintballs its shoots. Just make sure that you don't use really soft balls. The 8 round clips work great and I have the tru feeds to. I think the should make a 14 round mag. that would be just enough to make everyone happy. Plus it gives you that good call of duty 4 g18 with the extended mags look. lol. I know it sounds silly but I am going to end up buying another tpx so I can run around just with pistols. I am starting to love it more then my x7 with egrip which is also a lovely gun. If the did come out with a clip feed gun I would get it to. I love my TIPP's.

So it looks like Tacamo is coming out with something.  i saw this on RAP4...

"The Tacamo Magazine Conversion Kits will soon be available for:
- Tippmann® 98® - Tippmann® A5®
- Tippmann® X7® - Tippmann® Phenom®
- BT Paintball 4® - Valken SW-1®
- US Army Carver One® - US Army Project Salvo®
- US Army Alpha Black®

Now you can carry the marker you know and trust...with the brand-new functionality of using interchangeable magazines. When you absolutely need the firepower of a squad automatic weapon - to keep up with hopper-fed markers in all-out paint slinging - the Tacamo Magazine Conversion Kits also accept the 250 round RAP4 Box Magazine!
"

Here is the link with the rest of the info:

It's a great idea but RAP4 has not had a good history with hard goods or costumer service. I will say that Engler and Scenario arms should be watched on this matter and I'm going to see what people say about it before I but it.
