What's the deal with the new army alpha black guns? I'm def sticking with a reg. Tippmann but I just wanna know the difference in quality of the two.

Pretty much the exterior is the only difference between the two. They basically share the same internals. The AB is kind of a niche marker catered to those that enjoy Milsim in paintball.

The Alpha is the best milsim gun for the price. It's the same thing as a 98C but looks like an M4.

I used an Alpha Black at the West Point game two weeks ago. It was just as reliable as my old 98. I put a case of paint through it and never broke a ball. I DID change out the barrel, which is required on almost any marker you ever buy, but other than that, I played with it stock, and I was really very impressed with the thing. Its simple to operate, and it looks sort of cool.
It IS a 98, with a different suit on basically, and I see it being very popular with entry level milsim players and hardcore 98c fans. |

Be warned though, if you're going to replace the barrel, the stock Alpha Black barrel is really thick. My J&J is a lot thinner, so I had to put a few strands of electrical tape on the barrel to keep it from wiggling around inside the front sight ring, which is not adjustable. |

Despite other barrels not fitting properly in the shroud, the Alpha Black is
still an amazing marker for its price. |
