Magazine fed Tippmann

I sent an email to RAP4 asking them about both the magazine fed and the box magazine.  Here are the questions and their answers.  Overall, this appears to be a low rate of fire setup - just 7 balls per second.

< ="-" ="text/; =utf-8">

1)  What is the anticipated rate of fire of the Tacamo mag fed upgrade? 
    the rate of fire will be what the magazine can feed. With our magazines, it will be 7 balls per second or as fast as you can pull the trigger.

2)  Will the Tacamo system still enable the X7 Phenom to use a remote 
line?  Or will each mag have its own 12g disposable CO2 cartridge?
     The airstytem that you are using will not have to be changed. 


3)  How quickly could a person change between using the Tacamo mag feed 
upgrade and the traditional hopper?  Is this some of type of switch or 
lever, or does this involve tools (meaning I can't do this during the 
middle of a game. 
        This is not like a split fire we have for the T68. In order for you to
change from hopper feed to mag feed, you will need to disassemble the
marker. 

Answers for 1 and 2 are the same for the Box magazine

Yeah, your poorly stated opinion really ruined the dreams of the thousands of paintballers who've been asking for a Mag fed Tippmann for years. WTG Diglett, you're 1337. Now go dig yourself 6 feet under.

EDIT: And for someone who doesn't even know that the APEX can go on any barrel with an adapter, I'd say you're too new to the sport to tell people what they want.
The Tacamo kit is RSVP'd at $120, and they'll be selling mags for $5(at a loss to their profits, to boot, to promote mag fed play). That's actually rediculously affordable.
Your assumptions are making an ass outta you. Google- use it! And try and tone the attitude down before you're made to look silly.

its ok tacogood. I am not attacking your or nothing. I got really big into the mag fed with the tpx. I think it is a great idea for anyone who wants to hone there skills. I have played many a game with just my tpx and you have to pick your shots. I am use to shooting real guns to so it kinda feels more natural without that big ole hopper in the way. Trust me I have days where Iike to go balls to the wall and throw on my 500 round hopper and full auto a whole team in an ambush but I have my days I throw on the sniper barrel and like to plink them off as well. I have played speed ball with the tpx and shot out 5 people with one 7 round mag. No lie! People seem to not notice you when you are not  laying down a stream of paint. Its easy to get a running start and flank. Oh and the apex barrel is off the chain. I have a hammerhead barrel 100 dollar barrel, 22" sniper barrels but the apex is the best barrel ever and you can cop one for 40 bucks. You can shot up to 4x's farther then any other barrel. Even out shoot the flatline by alittle bit. Only downfall is if you set it for distance the ball slows down after about twice the distance of a regular shot. Then its a maybe if it breaks if it his something soft. Just think about it. Don't knock it till you try it. 

Here is the link to my other post of my tpx. Check it out. http://www.tippmann.com/forum/wwf77a/forum_posts.asp?TID=186299&KW=&PID=2669541#2669541

So how would I install this thing on my 98?

I see. You're still waiting on yours? You ordered it almost a year ago.

Oh alright. Well when you get yours post it!

I recently purchase 12 of the Tacomo (SP) kits to update some X7 markers for a pending course. I would say without a shadow of a doubt, TIPPMANN could do it as good if not better job. Hell, I had to paint these! Plus, I would not need to chase all over creation to get a MAGFED TIPPMANN.
