This is my "TippMann Alpha Black" and "TippMann SSL-200 E-Hopper." I wanted a "Mil-Sim" right off the bat, that wasn't going to blow a hole in my wallet all at once... When looking for a paintball marker I was looking for low-maintenance and consistency... not speed... It's semi-auto and I'm looking at prices of an e-trig, but I would only use 3 shot burst so it might just be a waist of money. I got the "best" hopper I could find for what I need and the price... It shoots 15 bps no need for anything more. I saw great reviews on both the hopper and the semi-auto Alpha Black on (www.pbreview.com) so I am very happy with my first set-up. I will be looking to this forum in the future for ideas on my "next step" or next marker to get... PS. I also wanted the hopper with the bend sensor so I don't waist batteries.   ------------- <3's Paintball w/ TippMann Alpha Black Tactical Marker TippMann Project Salvo Marker After Market E-Trigger TippMann SSL-200 E-Hopper |

These are a great marker, as you say "right outta the box Milsim". Should give you tons of trouble free fun. |

| Get a cyclone feed system!! They work much better than electronic feeders. You dont have to worry about batteries. |

With that said, I do like Cyclones as well, but more for the lower profile especially when used with an X7 hopper.
You are off to a nice start.

The BPS capabilities of a loader argument is hardly going to be an issue in this case. The Tipmon loader is most likely a great match for the gun.
Nice pick-up Troopr!!.

Set-up Up-Date: My first game was last Saturday. It went for 3hours strait and we played I don't know how many games. I had no chops and my Tippmann Hopper Worked flawlessly... The battery in it is still pretty fresh after 3hrs... 3 out of 5 shots hit where I wanted. and with semi-auto, I don't feel the need to get an e-grip. At 5 bps I was using up ammo like crazy I can't imagine if I was to use full-auto.... Full-Auto = Waist of Money (just my opinion) ps. I got out 3-4 times and I marked 5 ppl... ------------- <3's Paintball w/ TippMann Alpha Black Tactical Marker TippMann Project Salvo Marker After Market E-Trigger TippMann SSL-200 E-Hopper |

you can't go wrong with the alpha. i've had mine for about five months and it gets a lot of use with no problems. for the price it is one of the best out of the box markers on the market. enjoy ------------- mr400 |

| A cyclone feed system would be great 4 a alpha black. If u want to you can even upgrade your cyclone feed system to feed more bps in the future. But it is a great gun, and if u are looking for more fire power, a nice alternatice to the egrip is a response trigger. You can adjust it to any speed of fireing you wanted. |

I just bought a 14-inch opsgear barrel, hpa tank, and cover... =D The drop down was a pain, only thing the store had to mount the tank,... going to get a quick disconnect and a standard mount... ------------- <3's Paintball w/ TippMann Alpha Black Tactical Marker TippMann Project Salvo Marker After Market E-Trigger TippMann SSL-200 E-Hopper |

Yeah, just grab a new drop and ASA when you can, or just get a remote line and put your stock ASA back on there. Other than that, it looks pretty good. -------------

[/QUOTE]alpha black cant take a response trigger [/QUOTE] actually im pritty sure they can because they use the same basic stuff as a tippmann 98.
as far as mods i would look to see if your alpha black as the ACT bolt in it or if it is possoble to instal it. (altho it seems u dont need it if u dont have it since you say u havent had any breaks.)

The standard Alpha Black / Bravo One can not take the R/T Upgrade without modification to the receivers. Thus voiding the 2 year warranty. The Project Salvo Markers and it's international counterpart do take the R/T upgrade as a drop in modification. Both of my Alpha Black and the Project Salvo have ACT in them. And I use Cyclone with one and a Hopper with the Other. It's a great marker system. -------------
