i hate tippmanns, its all my friends and anyone around here talks about, tippmann tipmmann tippmann! they are convinced its the best gun in the world,i mean its a good gun but like they blow it way out of proportion one of my friends bet me 100 bbucks, that if the best player in the world had a spyder like xtra went one on one agaisnt the worst person in the world with a tippmann, the kid with the tippmann would win no matter what, i was ok ill go get greg hastiing to play agasint u,

and i was like its not only the gun that makes u good, like say u bought a wicked hockey stick, that can shoot harder,faster,and is super light and is crazy and stuff, and then theres just a plain wooden stick, and u give the plain stick to brendan shannahan, and then give the crazy stick to some kid, well of course shannahan is guna pwn the kid cuz hes just good

and antoher thing that i dont like about the tippmann is that everyone owns one or they want to own one cuz its good, id rather be good on my own rather then trying to rely on that gun to make me good, do u kno what i mean? like i wouldnt go out and buy it just so i could be like i have a tippmann ill pwn any one now,and besides theres tons of guns that r better, and theres a lot that r almost as good and there a lot cheaper!

anyways tho!! anyone else fell the same way i do? plz share ur thoughts

i dislike tippmans...they're great beginner/renter guns, and reliable/durable, but they are sso damn slow, and are long too...

I got a tippmann, liked it at first but now I hate it. They're good for a while but then they suck. Right now I'm saving up.

***custangro*** · August 30th, 06:23 PM

Not that I dislike them, but they are not for me. Then again I play speedball, so I'll never use a tippman...I mean who will pick a tippman over a matrix?

no, you're def. the ****ing idiot.
i said that they were durable and reliable, which is a good thing, yet they are slow and long, which is completely true.
stfu?

***Barber*** · August 30th, 06:30 PM

Greg Hastings isn't very good.

Tippmanns are good for a first gun, they are un-breakable.

don't flame me jerk

**bobide** · August 30th, 06:35 PM

technically u hate newbs, not tippmanns.

**DAVE** · August 30th, 06:42 PM

Tippmanns are good markers but there comes a point when you outrgrow them.
I still have <3 for my 98c

***micromag2277*** · August 30th, 06:45 PM

Who hates em? Not me. I love Tippmanns. If it wasn't for a tippmann I never would have started this sport. It was my first marker. I had an old prolite with a smartparts remote line and armson barrel. Here I'll even post a pic. This was my setup from the early to mid 90's that I recently sold.
Still works as good as the day I bought it.

It's from the days of only cockers, tippmanns, and mags. OH yeah and that VM gun LOL. I bet most of you don't know what that is. Anyway after owning my tippmann for a year, I got my micromag, hence my name.

You kids need to respect the heritage that made this sport.

**Gabriot** · August 30th, 06:46 PM

I hate the tippman fanboys more than the marker itself.

***martix_agent*** · August 30th, 06:49 PM

i have great respect fro tippman because of all teh player they bring inot the sport by offering afforbable noobie-proof markers. without tippman, paintball would be very small indeed.

BUT I myself do not like tippmans, they are too big and heavy. spyders a more suitable marker so strating out(notice i didn't say better, that's on puropse) for me.

**Pyropenguin** · August 30th, 06:50 PM

I like my tippmann. the only bad thing about it is it's weight and length for trying to play speedball.

Even then, my friend Brittny played speedball with it last weekend and loved it!

They're not the best, but don't hate it, that's just ignorant.

hahahahaha have you ever shot any thing that cost more than 300 dollers? the fact that they can be put in mud and still work is nice but id take 20 bps over it, because i dont plan on putting my timmy under water any time soon.

Any marker from a company with anything close to quality control will last a long time if the owner takes care of it and doesn't abuse it on the field.

That aside, Tippmann isn't the greatest thing since sliced bread. I think the outline shape of the Model 98 is probably one of the most easily recognized things in the world of paintball though.

They're famous and as well rooted in paintball history as any company. But, as mostly an entry level marker, the crowd does draw a good number of people that think there's nothing better.

Great field rentals, Good scenario guns, good woods guns, fair for rec speedball as well. Really the same as any spyder, but those might suffer in the mil-sim/scenario area Tippmann holds pretty well.

***globeskater9*** · August 30th, 07:02 PM

i dont like the looks of the 98 custom either i think its ugly! lol, but when u spend a fortune to customize it, then it looks sweet, if i ever owned one id want to make it look like an AK-47 lol thatd be bomb, and no im not flip flopping im just saying IF for somereason some one GAVE me one for FREE then gave me the 700 bucks or whet ever to get all the parts to make it look like an Ak thatd be cool lol

**Mangobutter** · August 30th, 07:07 PM

for 700 bucks a proto trix would look alot cooler.
