Tippmann TPX
Sometimes paintball players may need more than just the biggest paintball guns. Perhaps the thrill of the gun has been lost; at other times, perhaps the heaviness of Tippmann paintball pistols, such as the Tippmann A-5 or Tippmann 98 custom upgrades, have become too high a price to pay for the high power they provide. It is undeniable that larger markers offer a better chance to excel in the game, but what if the situation calls for the paintball player to lose control of their prized marker? A sudden jam of weapons in the middle of a firefight could mean a loss if spare weapons are not carried. That’s why the professional sportsman always makes sure to carry a pistol, a smaller, lighter version of paintball markers to use as a sidearm or as a backup while their larger gun is undergoing maintenance. Tippmann does not disappoint its loyal customers on this front: the Tippmann TPX is the paintball gun of choice for sporting events.
The Tippmann TPX, despite being developed by the same people who created the intense Cyclone Feeder system, still carries the burden of the handicap that all paintball guns possess. The size of the marker limits the amount of ammo a player can place at one time, consuming more time to reload which the opponent can use to hunt you down. Due to the lack of a barrel to guide the gun’s progress when fired, the guns are less accurate and can therefore send valuable paintball pellets flying in a crooked direction. Additionally, the smaller size ensures that a pistol’s firing range is less effective than its larger counterparts – the typical range of a pistol only goes from less than 100 feet, compared to range of more than 200 feet. from Tippmann paintball guns like the A-5 or the 98 Custom. The general paintball community also advises that a paintball gun be used primarily as an emergency weapon, as it will be difficult to win, especially if each of your opponents is carrying a larger gun.
Despite this, Tippmann TPX ensures that customers will not regret buying a weapon for their next game. Manufacturers developed it not only to accentuate the advantages of the paintball gun, but also to offset the disadvantages associated with the smaller firearm. The Tippmann TPX is equipped with a quick release magazine feed system, reducing the amount of time it takes to reload your pistol. Reloading is also easier thanks to the TPX’s charging cap, designed to require just a quarter turn to release the tank. Several users of the Tippmann TPX cite it as a strong point of the paintball gun, something that custom upgrades to the Tippmann A-5 or Tippmann 98 have yet to offer.
The Tippmann TPX’s body is made from the same durable material as the 98 or A-5, ensuring greater familiarity with the part if the situation calls for it. “Ammo windows” on the top and side of the TPX also help easily determine if a BB is properly loaded in the chamber, eliminating the time it takes to open the gun and check. For hobbyists who want to get the best shooting range with their purchase, good news: the Tippmann TPX comes with a detachable barrel; thus increasing the firing range of the marker. Despite several downsides on the table, such as a drop in performance after three magazines (which is still pretty durable for typical paintball guns), as well as the need for good to high-quality paintballs to ensure With maximum efficiency, the Tippmann TPX remains one of the most stable and reliable handguns on the market to get you out of trouble in a paintball fight.
