| Don't luahg at me for asking this, but is Tippmann working on a new gun? I mean I know they probably are always working on gun ideas and stuff, but have they released any plans to make a new gun? |

This is true, the company is done making guns, they will focus on making stainless steel cuttlery for the cullinary division of sales and for paintball bayonetts.

I like answering this one. After having a roommate who was a business major, I know how this stuff works. Chances are, The new marker is close to, if not completely ready to be marketed but for one little thing...the A-5. Tippmann is making plenty of money off of the A-5, enough that putting a new marker out at this point would negate their sales. The new product would actually be in competition with the A-5 and it's upgrades. They'll wait until the A-5 sales spike to release their new one. Milk the current line for all it's worth, then go with something fresh. ------------- ? |

Sure. Why would they go thru the costs of retooling their shop to mass produce a totally new marker, when the A-5 hasn't been on the market that long yet, and is still selling very well. |

The 98c's are still selling, yes, but they aren't making NEARLY the prifit off of those as they are off the A-5. ------------- ? |

yeah well I'm sorry to tell all you guys that say they arn't or never will make a new gun because Brandon shower's of Tippmann Effect seems to think so I would take his word, oh and here is some proof in the interview at http://www.paintballstar.com/pn/modules.php?op=modload&name=PagEd&file=index&topic_id=7&page_id=214 - Paintball Star , its about half way down the page, the interview asks about the new investment firm.  -------------
