I looked up the prices for the new Tac8 from tactical airguns HOPING to be able to duel it. its the first magazine-fed gun so i thought it id be kool to duke it out on yalls but the price tag is a freaking $260!!! and magizines are $50 bucks each.

**big_balla** · March 15th, 09:53 PM

Paintball is expensive.

Boohoo.

**the_real_kaz** · March 15th, 11:00 PM

its revolutionary. Becouse its a new Idea its so expensive. Kinda like why the Tippmann C-3 is so expensive.

**PaintBallBob** · March 15th, 11:15 PM

its not that revolutionary, its just im sure they are very much in demand-every tac-sim player has got to want one...

hell ive played woodsball only a few times and ill admit i kind of want one too

**the_real_kaz** · March 16th, 11:48 AM

**Mangobutter** · March 17th, 12:39 AM

**bobide** · March 17th, 12:50 AM

welcome to the world of paintball.

**splatwithhonor3** · March 17th, 05:22 AM

I want one just to scope out the design. Pretty sweet engineering.

Actually it is revolutionary. Tactical has found a way to...when you shoot all 10 balls out of the magazine, you have about 20 shots left inside your 40g CO2 can. They have found a way so that you can take your current spent magazine out, put in a new one, and the spent magazine won't leak out the C02. Just a nice little factoid about the Tac8.

I wont one but im so Poor i can barley afford my pirnaha

FuzzypaintballA · March 17th, 05:00 PM

thx alot

im agreeing with all of you. but btw someone said 10 pballs, it only holds 8
and i think it has a pretty sweet disign and all bt hopefully the price will go down in the next couple of months.

**paintballkid320** · March 17th, 05:31 PM

12g cartrigde. Not 40.

although i hate woodsball with a passion i can't even explain i really want one of these after shooting one.

I'd wait untill they refine the idea. It's bound to be ripped off by someone sometime in the near future. Vegas is right, however. Most people mistake the thing that's being called revolutionary. The firing mechanism is pretty advanced, but barely noteworthy. The way they seal off the open co2 cartride was a really good idea, although I'm still not sure how something like that doesn't break after a long time of being under pressure. The most amazing firing mechanism is in the RAP guns. in those, the bolt literally travels through a casing that the paintball is in. It's basically a little piece of barrel with every paintball. good stuff.

Yeah it wont be that price for long, somone will come out with a design like it and sell theirs for cheaper prices, so then they will be forced to sell theirs cheaper once they loose buisness. Sooner or later we will see more and we will aslo see prices fall.
