This is the first new product resulting from the Tippmann/SpecOps joint venture. As you can see from the pictures, it includes/integrates many of the scenario/woodsball features that previously had to be acquired separately from aftermarket sources. If you want a scenario A-5-style gun, the X7 will give you an excellent platform for that. Integrated rails, a magazine that isn't just cosmetic, hopper that is made for woodsball... Should be good. ------------- [IMG]http://i38.tinypic.com/aag8s8.jpg"> |

basically... they saved players the trouble of buying an A-5, and some of the spec-ops upgrades, and the price is still right around what an A-5 costs. With tippmann's reputation, any new or even upcoming woodsball and scenario player will definitely be looking at this product. And now with the merge of spec-ops and tippy, there should be a whole mess of upgrades coming from spec-ops. they're both gonna be raking in the cash. btw... magnesium body??? whatever happened to plain ol aluminum? |

No, he's right, it has the body style of the a-5, the same feed system(little faster), and a mag on the front for those too lazy to keep tools on a pack. Hell, it even breaks down like the a-5.

Some are, some are not. The integrated rail is a pretty big deal on this, as well as the magazine. Mainly the X7 is made with milsim in mind, so instead of squeezing an A-5 into milsim, you have a gun that was made for that from scratch. ------------- [IMG]http://i38.tinypic.com/aag8s8.jpg"> |

No, it's aiming at two different markets. The A-5 is more for beginner players and those just looking to have a good time with a durable gun. The x7 has a completely different target audience. Often times serious milsim-ers go for Ariakon and (c)Rap-4 items. Now Tippmann puts direct competition for these companies onto the market. It will be interesting to see which company scenario ballers(who presumably started with tippmanns) will stay loyal to....Will they continue business with companies that have made milsims for a while, or will their faith to tippmann bring the business back for that diehard Tippmann quality. ------------- Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo |

| I definatly like the redesigned safety and the fact that they've finally just made something built to be milsimmed. I doubt I'll buy one none the less for that much more than an A-5. I'd kick arse with a stock on it, but dammit I hate remotes so much. Intruder assault foregrip instead of a mag maybe? Sure, you can't go prone but how often do you do that in paintball? Looks like the sights are even high enough to use them with a stock. Wonder how long before someone comes out with a form-fitting mask that allows you to get a cheek-weld on a stock but absorbs enough impact not to destroy your face? |

Nobody has noticed the SpecOps logo on the side of the marker have they? I like it alot, but unless I become loaded in the near future or my marker explodes I wont be buying one. But if it is compatable I will be buying the new hopper. Smart move Tippmann. One of the very few things I liked since Tippys new CEO stepped in. Im also diggin the magnesium. Question: Does the Tippmann family still own Tippmann, or does someone else? Edit: The new X-7 Flatline is a top of the line barrel upgrade that can soot up to 250 feet. Patented technology creates back spin on the paintball for long and accurate shots. This new look Flatline is integrated into the marker and is a great add on accessory. haha Double Edit: This would explain the A5 rebate... -------------

Yes the hopper is compatable with the a5! The Tippmanns still own a large portion of Tippmann Sports (how much I am not sure of)
the a5 is cast aluminum
yep! all those upgrades that are available on the gun builder are built and designed by us in cooperation with tippmann. Many more are on the way ! Oh yes... all of the products that are co-branded Tippman/SO carry the insanely great quality and a warranty that is covered and serviced by tippmann.
Actually it's loosely inspired by the newly fielded SOCOM SCAR built by FN. A highly moddable gun that Army Special Forces are currently using. Read more if you are interested:http://world.guns.ru/assault/as70-e.htm
And other cool things coming down the road as well ;)

Hey, Spec.Ops1, If it's based of the SCAR, why don't you guys make a SCAR kit? Or even an FAL kit. That would be pretty killer, and it would break away from the over-used AK and M-4 designs. ------------- Evil Elvis: "Detrevni is definally like a hillbilly hippy from hell"

I really like what they've done here with the X7, The FN scar is awesome, and hope they decide to make a similar stock for the X7. Best thing I think is the select fire/safety switch, it just makes it look so much more realistic. I'm a bit worried about that flatline barrel though, it looks badly Photoshopped at best, maybe its just a poor quality photo. You're definately right about AK's and M16s getting really old now, Its all XM8's, New HKs and FN p90s etc now. This joint venture with SpecOps is definately going to be a good one, and I'm looking forward to further upgrades for the X7 and other Tippmanns later on. ------------- People who are organised are just to lazy to look for things. |

A couple impressions. First off, Tippmann may have succeeded in something interesting here: an 'entry level' MILSIM marker. Ariakon, Armotech, cRap 4, etc each make markers specifically designed after one real firearm, and generally pull off the looks very well. However, you'll pay several hundred more dollars than you would for an A5. Tippmann's made available a package that allows a decent MilSim look without as big of a price tag. It's also easily customizable for people who want a different look, and will enjoy massive aftermarket support for parts. Mr. Engler has already confirmed over at http://www.milsimog.com that he's acquiring one ASAP and will be selling both stock and his famously custom parts for it- I can't wait to see what he comes out with. SpecOps will of course make tons of stuff as well. This marker also has the benefit of Tippmann's solid reputation. A lot of people have never heard of Ariakon- the number of times my SIM5's been mistaken for a Tippy is incredible. Tippmann, though, is a company everyone can relate to, and say what they will, you'll never hear anyone intelligent say 'don't buy Tippmanns, they break'. As a twist, Ariakon announced some time ago that they would be making parts for Tippmann's. None have yet been seen, but if they still plan this I wonder if they'll tackle the X7 and help people bring some true cosmetic quality to the marker. I'm impressed with Tippmann, and wish them luck with this venture. If I were in the market for another semi auto marker I'd seriously consider this one. ------------- "Abortion is not "choice" in America.

I'm kind of interested to know how much of that stuff I can knock off of there and if it has a built in vert adapter that will allow me to run a tank larger than 4oz without leaking like the A5's are prone to do. I'm thinking ditch the mag, add a palmer's stab and change the ASA so it doesn't drop down. The selector is cool, I truly hope they keep it for the E-grip functions with ability to lock out anything besides semi. Having it disengage an RT would be cool too for us anti-electro freaks. Folding sights would have been cool and an adjustable length side folding stock like the actual SCAr would be a real winner. I might even actually buy one since my 98c is a littl long in the tool having old thread pattern and not being able to accept new upgrades. |

There have been a lot of problems with people running vertical on A-5s. Some people (like me) don't get enough pressure, others get leaks. The tombstone is a great idea, but there have been some QC/consistency problems.

It's my buddy's A-5 that I've been known to mooch for extended periods of time. It works fine with 4oz tanks but anything else is doubtful. It used to work fine with any tank and when it went crappy he had the tombstone and all the seals replaced. Still leaks. I'm thinking the soft aluminum valve body may have something to do with it, but I think even the tombstone latch has an effect. It just hates heavy tanks, which is a shame since I hate remotes and there's really no better way to have a stock and keep the bottle on the gun. Also, do you guys still play at Mnt. Tom?

I've only used 4oz. tanks directly on the tombstone and didn't have any problems. Also ran out of gas too damn fast. That's when I took a 9mm magazine with a built in tombstone for a remote to go in to. A 20oz last a lot longer.

I don't know about this one though, I think that they're just trying to make up for their terrible power drill mistake. -------------  |

So?... I doubt it, but even if that was the case, wouldnt that be good anyways? They'd be putting out something even better to compensate...so its good still. |

My understanding is that the E-grip will have a fully functional switch. ------------- Brian "MOATI" Russell Director of Soft Goods Special Ops Paintball moati@specialopspaintball.com |

| Ok, question then: people are saying the flatline looks pretty neat, but is there a place I can see the flatline on the X-7? I can find pictures of them seperate, but not together. Also, have any reviewers been able to get their hands on one yet? I don't like buying markers before sifting through a bit of third party comments, issues, or praise. |

Yeah pretty much Upon futher review I wish to take back my comment about the mag . You gotta give Tippmann credit for not making a multi colored pimp gun.

I don't see this pulling much revenue from the A-5 sales to be honest. I think that Sales would have had to taper down a bit before they released something new anyway. The A-5 has been out for a while now, and there's no way the sales of it are as hot as they once were. Now it actually a prime time to release this one, I can't see the C3 sales being up there, and that didn't cater to milsim-scenario players anyway. They'd still be buying A-5s. Same with the Triumph, they came out targeting different markets, all the while the 98c and the A-5 holding firm in the Milsim markets.....now though, I think they released this one just in time to boost up company revenue to account for the numbers of A-5s that have or have not been sold. On a larger spectrum, it doesn't really matter to the company if it detracts from A-5 sales, they'd actually be happy if it did, since the MSRP of the new product would net them more profit per unit than the A-5. I think their release of this one was is nearly perfect. Had they waited until late winter to advertize and early spring to release, it would have been a surgical release move as the season kicks off again, although releasing right before Christmas may just offset that.

A safe assumption would be that it will be threaded in something that exists already. Another safe assumption would be that like all tippmann barrels, you'll want to replace it with your own aftermarket one. I seem tor ecall reading of A5 threading, but I cannot confirm that. Nonetheless, I can't see Tippy being dumb enough to market a marker with a brand new threading- particularly when SpecOps stands to make so much cash selling barrels for it as part of the upgrade assortment. ------------- "Abortion is not "choice" in America.
