tippmann toture test

Heh.

Our only 98 is a third generation marker. It was owned by a friend of mine who sold it to another friend. This kid took horrible care of it, and let it get all rusy and paint-encrusted.

My brother and I took it from him and cleaned it up a bit, then got creative. We cut off the front grip and added a horizontal wooden foregrip, made it top cocking and cut off the rear sight.

It also had the pin that holds the front sight spring in lost, so I replaced it with a toothpick, works fine.

One of the pins holding the trigger spring got lost, thats not in with a piece of wooden paintbrush, still works fine.

To make it top-cocking we had to drill into the rear bolt.....still works fine.

My very standard,  un messed around with 98c   has been playing perfectly with me since I was 12.  I'm 17 now and still use it all the time.  I had one problem with it that took 5 minutes to fix and 5 bucks  to repair.   I've left it in the rain, dropped it,  forgot it  in the woods for 4 weeks once.   Mine  has taken plenty of punishment  and has survived with hardly a scratch on  it.    In fact,   I used it last saturday,  my 5th  shot hit a guy square between the eyes.   "the first 4 were just to get his head down".

Hey Greg you got a new title.

 Okay, listen to this, I have a friend with about 5 tippmann 98c's that were never modified, they all work fine, even though they look like they have been sandblasted, ran over, through a garbage compactor, dropped, crushed, dented, and overall just pummeled. But yet, they still work and that really just surprises the heck out of me, accounting that one of his once black tippmann 98c's is now gray and corroding. I have estimated that they could not have gone through any more torture than just being at his house. I always ask him how his markers get that way, but he refuses to tell me. He also has never, ever, cleaned one of them and that really surprised me.
