Tippmann TPX
I got to use my Tippmann TPX pistol this weekend, and it is a beautiful gun. I played several games with it Sunday, and even did one game with just the TPX and a total of 3 mags.
It shoots very nicely, even with cheap paint, but if you are using cheap paint, don’t keep it in the mags for very long. I had a few blank shots because the paint would get squished in the mag and not load into the chamber.
I managed to chop one ball, fortunately it was after the game, but it made a mess. When a ball breaks in the TPX, paint is everywhere. If you have the cotton swab style barrel cleaner, you can clean it in the field fairly easily, depending on how much paint is back down into the mag. Whatever you do, do NOT take apart the mags. They are very difficult to put back together, just spray them out with water and let them dry.
I’ve used the Tiberius T8 and I find the TPX to be a much better gun. The TPX is better on air, and much easier to do any repairs on.
I do have to say the guys at Tippmann are great. My TPX came factory sealed from the factory with only one mag. It’s supposed to ship with two. I talked to a Tippmann support guy and told him that I planned on using it this weekend, and they overnighted two new mags to me so I’d have them in time.
This is all the same one product, folks. What is the point of selling six versions of the same code base? It does not cost one nickel more to manufacture Windows 7 Ultimate than it costs to manufacture Windows 7 Home Basic, and the differences are confusing to just about everyone.
…try this analogy. I walk into a store that is having a sale on coffee mugs with cracked handles. They are selling for $1 instead of $10. People are buying the mugs for a dollar, and the last one is sold just as I walk in.
“We’re sold out, but here is what I’ll do for you,” the owner says. He grabs a perfectly good $10 mug and cracks off the handle and sells it to me for $1. I’m left wondering why he didn’t just sell me the mug with the handle intact for $1. It would cost him nothing more, since it was a good mug he broke. What would be the point of doing what he did? I perceive that something is wrong with this person, especially because he thought he was doing me a favor to move some inventory.
