Subject: Tippmann, "Too Ugly?"
Date Posted: 28 March 2005 at 11:37am

I bought my Tippmann 98 Custom not so long ago with great confidence. I couldn't wait to compete against my Friend Nick's Spyder E-vant and his Dye Ultralite barrel. Yeah right...

My puny Tippmann with it's Flatline upgrade looked like a kindegarden piece of art compared to his Michael Angelo contraption. The the thing is his Spyder looked much more stronger and durable than my plastic metal disaster. The Tippmann guns are far too ugly beyond belief. Ick disgusting...

 I think tippman should bring a whole new wave of body works to the market. Not just brand new markers but peices of hard manufactured parts constructed of strong durable material and not the paintball players nightmare (PLASTIC)

 Parts like, Strong Metal Barrel Handgrips, Mag Kits, Strong metal Rails to expand the width of the Body of the 98c. It bothers me to feel like I am shooting a stick or a twig with a tree growing out of it(The Hopper...)

Most of all Make there parts of Strong Metal materials that way the customers actually get what they are paying so much for...

If you wish to whine about a markers appearance and its preformance....go to the New Players or Thoughts and Opinions, your post does not belong here.

I am not whinning and I do not Like Spyder, I do not like the plastic peices, That is opinion... 

Suggestion is the Start of manufactured Metal Peices and New body designs. The Tippmann is too un real looking. I want it to look like a real gun. So I suggest Tippmann design new parts to enhance the visual look of their current markers by manufacturing parts, like metal top rail to add width.

tippmanns aren't built to be pretty, their built to be durable and reliable and dish out a whoopin... looks are nothing if your gun operates like a blender.  this really is not an idea and belongs in the anti- tippmann nazi section of the forum. ty.

tippmanns are the only realistic looking guns except for armotech. look at the A5 DUH!!!!perfect model of the mp5k except for the grip frame. you can buy mags and all of those realistic upgrades for atleast 20 different kinds of guns you idiot. they even have a kit for a spas shotgun for indoor scenarion made specially for the A5. its called www.opsgear.com . take a look around and see if its not realistic now.

I was modding the elbow, and I had to take a dremel to one of the notches holding it onto the gun for it to break.

Heh, that was a hasle and a half.

Did you know that weapons used by the military are mostly plastic?  It's a weight issue. And it's HIGH IMPACT PLASTIC...not cheap action figure plastic.  If I'm not mistaken, Tippmann does use military grade plastic.

 Dear God you people I swear...

 I did not hate Tippmann and I do not like Spyder.

The plastic part I did not know, I thought the standard Military rifles today were made of straight out Steel and Aluminium. Why would any gun be made of plastic. It cracks and breaks and needs glue to be repaired. Second I didn't say that they were not completely durable. The frame is great but the excess parts like trigger guard and fore grip was my only complaint and the Plastic shroud.  I would rather prefer metal over plastic any day especially body work parts. Oh for sure that shroud should have been metal. Yeah that metal shroud you were talking about looks ugly. Wheres the handle cmon...

  My aim for my gun is looks, looks as in Military looking. My only opinon here was the 98's skinny frame. Now my favorite gun is the M-16A1. I can't mod that 98 because the frame is too skinny. It will never be as thick and wide as the M-16 body marker. Unless  ****SUGGESTION***** Tippmann makes a marker body expansion, and more senario barrels that would help me on my M-16 mod. The BT barrel for the Tippmann. No way its too short and besides I want it to be the M-16 not the M4. Another thing I want my guns to be accurate so these barrels can't be inaccurate just for looks.

Looks first, quality second thats how I see it. If you have an awsome gun that can kick anyones *** and looks just like a real military weapon than that is what I want. Besides I rely on Tippmann, its simply setup and is strong I can tell my holding one. The plastic has to go. But looks and stlye should not be left alone but made better. Its called the 98 Custom for a reason... I want to make my 98 unique and make others go wow thats amazing. Unless all of these mods exist, which I have searched for a while now, please do care and brag and insult me more as though I did something wrong. Oh whoever it was called me a twerp cmon over here and I show you a **** twerp! Kepp this PG rated...

 Yeah and Spyder was not my choice, I chose the 98 because everyone said how accurate they are, way more accurate than spyder... I want my guns accurate and now I want them to look insane.  I wanted the 98 to bethat gun, but I need Tippmann to make those parts and I am sure others would want solid reliable parts they can feel great playing with.

I have to agree with most of the people here. 

1.  Tippmann is one of the most realistic looking markers out there.  and as so many people have said,

2.  They are durable beyond any other markers. 

3.   They aren't all colorfull because, lets face it, black blends alot better than matellic red in the woods.

4.  I wasn't all to impressed with the plastic shroud for the flatline for the 98...but i have never had any problems with it.

Just out of curiosity, have you even seen a real M-16 up close? Also, the plastics they use on rifles are plenty durable. They are not even remotely close to that Tupperware bowl you eat cereal out of. Besides, it is a rifle, not a hammer. Finally, if it ain't what you want, re-do the body with Bondo or whatever it is they use for crazy changes. Either that, or learn how to cast your own aluminum parts.

I played baseball with my tippmann with a flaming tennisball nonetheless and it did fine... homerun into the highway.... the plastic can be replaced all of it can  the elbow the foregrip the grips (mine melted) the sight can even be taken off and changed or replaced even the safety thing... you're not going to get an accurate shot like a real gun so you better go buy a BB or pellet gun if thats what you want because paintballs have weight oddities and the paint may shift around in them as they fly and this will throw it off also they are just not the right size...

and one more thing..

Observation one: most if not all of military rifles are made of composites nowadays, because a metal frame would tip the weight of the gun upwards of ten kilos

Observation two: the Tippmann guns are probably the most modable guns in the area of making them look like real guns.

Observation three: you're in the wrong forum

Because I didn't ask for a new marker...  I just got the 98 and I wanted to know if there are any body parts to buy. I would love to make my own aluminium parts for the 98. I don't have money for them right now. I can design them but as far as smelting and smithing these parts forgetta bout it, it won't happen. I know that these parts are not manufactured by tippman so I suggested they did make them. Well I have no luck on this forum so i guess i'll make them myself one way or another. The 98 is great, I have nothing against it. The only turn off is the bare naked image of it. Sure it looks most real than all those other alien looking markers. I am mad at the fact that there should be body parts one can buy for the 98. I find it a goal to make it look like a real solid gun. Well it seems thats all up to me to get the body works and make it look great.

 Ok to let me make my suggestion more clear, Check out my new thread I am posting. I am going to explain the body mod kits in a more polite fashion. Check it out and check my mod on how to build a M60E3 Machine Gun mod for the Tippmann 98 Custom from solid aluminium and steel parts.

I've never broken any of the plastic pieces when using the M-16 adaptation that the Canadian Forces use- and believe me, I've put that weapon through its paces. The composite (to call it plastic is insulting) stock is designed to deliver a severe beating to a person's skull and be just fine- and it does the job.

To say Tippmanns look realistic is ridiculous. If you want realistic paintball markers, RAP-4 series markers ar ethe best looking- except they shoot a different calibre at 400fps. In terms of field legal markers, Ariakons are probably the best, followed closely by Armotech. ATS does some good stuff, with a very interesting magazine-fed system, the only .68 markers to boast that. The ONLY good Tippmann commercial MilSims I've ever seen have been from Engler- he does some amazing stuff. the AK-A5 is a work of art, and the Dragunov is beyond words. The Opsgear stuff is all overpriced garbage for what it is.

Those who claim Tippmanns are inherently 'realistic' need better familiarity with real firearms. It CAN be done, but if you want the MilSim look, buy a MilSim marker.

I like the look accept, it doesn't match the aim I want my gun to look like. Personally I think I should have gotten the A-5 because it looks more like an assault rifle body. The Tippmann 98C looks more like a pistol if you look close at the form. Thats the main point why I am both disapointed in the shape and myself for choosing 98c when the A-5 would have been more myself. But over all I like the 98 C its shoots great.



Posted By: DflyNchimp
Date Posted: 04 April 2005 at 6:22pm
the A-5 's  frame was designed to resemble the mp-5 submachinegun. the only part of the 98 that looks remotely like a pistol is the grip, which I believe is modeled after a .45

Dfly is correct. The frame is pretty similar to the MP5K line by H&K. For a better MP5 look though, you want to look at the Ariakon Sim-5N

what are you taking about? the only plastic parts of a Tippy are the bottom of the grip on the 98 and the part for the hopper. if it was competely metal then it would be heavier and colder in the winter.you hand could freeze to the gun.

Yeah, those ones are pretty cool. Neat mag feed system, and ti even shoots from a closed bolt. No improved accuracy form that, of course, but it adds another touch of realism.

that barrel is awesome. It uses a Unisizer at the beginning. It pretty much has soft rubber gills that conform around the ball. Creating a perfect bore match. The ball is held there while the bolt is closed. Then when it fires, it gets awesome accuracy.

i don't know much about spyders, except that when i see them at the store i see them and they are brigth silver and light blue, and i wonder why i want my gun to catch some sunlight and reflect, giving off my position. anyways...i found out a guy i work with plays and he has a spyder, its his 4th one in 3 years and he just bought this one like 2 days ago. i brought my A-5 and showed it to him, the next day he shows up with a A-5, took the sypder back, and his two other buddies did the same. what else can i say

My puny Tippmann with it's Flatline upgrade looked like a kindegarden piece of art compared to his Michael Angelo contraption. The the thing is his Spyder looked much more stronger and durable than my plastic metal disaster. The Tippmann guns are far too ugly beyond belief. Ick disgusting...

 I think tippman should bring a whole new wave of body works to the market. Not just brand new markers but peices of hard manufactured parts constructed of strong durable material and not the paintball players nightmare (PLASTIC)

 Parts like, Strong Metal Barrel Handgrips, Mag Kits, Strong metal Rails to expand the width of the Body of the 98c. It bothers me to feel like I am shooting a stick or a twig with a tree growing out of it(The Hopper...)

Most of all Make there parts of Strong Metal materials that way the customers actually get what they are paying so much for...

Ok first off i think tippmanns look bad ass especially the A-5 and and second off if you own a tippmann your probly playin woodsball (recball) so if your friend has a spyder your tippmann should be able to stand up agensed most spyders especially with some upgrades. if you dont like yer 98 then why dont you go buy your friends pretty little spyder no one is forcing you to use it.

ya know, i never thought i would see the day that someone would complain about a tippmann not being durable enough.  I guess i've seen it all.

I was looking at expensive guns the other day, and they were all just flashy paint jobs and some electrial bull**edited** I'll never need. 
The 98 Custom looks like pure evil with the flatline barrel.  I'll never have to worry about it breaking.  Rain or sun, that guns going to be at 100% all day long.  Why would you want anything else?

Why do people by nikes and expensive clothing. I mean some expensive things are more durable. But just because something is expensive doesnt make it better.

I let a friend use my 98C today, we were playing woodsball.  After one game he said he was going to sell his other paintball guns and buy a 98C with the flatline barrel.

As far as I'm concerned. I will always have a Tippmann as my BACKUP GUN.

If you think tippmann's are ugly then that's fine beacause you will never see one before it shoots you in the face.

I think this forum has served its honorable purpose for us tippy lovers to wail on FireStrorm89. I think we should leave it at that and move on to more productive stuff, oh and Homer J, that pic of the 98c mod was AWESOME!!!

Apparently Armotech/Warsensor is gonna make a WG-47 AK47 MilSim soon. That should be pretty seet, a stock MilSim that isn't an M4 or an MP5 clone... Engler's prices are pretty prohibitive. Hopefully the other MilSim manufacturers will get on the ball and follow suit with some other new designs.
