you do paintball and airsoft?
Tippmann Good?
So as not to hiijack gpghosts post and to maybe help with Mindstorms questions about Tippmann. I have the Tippmann A5 with M4 Stock, Response Trigger and Flatline barell. A few reasons I went with Tippmann were they are an old school paintball equipment company, I see a crapload of Tippmann 98's as rentals and the Flatline system in is very close to the hopup system used in airsoft. And the biggest plus is there's a ton of 3rd party upgrades for these.

My A-5 see's very littel use, but a quick buurst of canned air, and a little oil and it's ready to go.
Are they a good company? Well they been around a long time relative to paintball. I know paintball dayglow uniform purists prefer other brands, but the Milsim paintball guys seem to like the Tippmann A-5.

But if this question has anything to do with their new airsoft line... Those are just pirvate labeled cheap-o chinese airsoft guns.

iv always wondered if the paintball pistols use the commprested air or some other way of firing
nah not into paintball, but I figure to be fair in making comparisons between paintball markers and airsoft rifles, I pulled the A-5 in.
The paintball pistols I've used use Co2 Caplets or pump action or even a combination of both (Since they don't wanna waste the C02 caplet on blowback).

These are private labeled Leapers/UTG, , HFC, UHC and Be brand guns. So consider thses to be cheap, non upgradeable AEG's, spring shotguns and SMG's, spring/gas/C02 pistols. But these can all be found now in your local Walmart or Big 5.
I love how they turned HopUp into Flatline though.

YES!!! A-5's rock i have an A-5 with a response trigger and soon to be flatline barrel.
A-5's
personally, I think the only A-5 worth buying is the A-5 stealth. I have a smart parts ion, and if I save up enough money I will also buy a shocker or smart parts nerve. I was going to get a System X X-NME but the company went out of business. So if something was severely wrong with it then I would be screwed.
Anyway, back to tippman geting in airsoft. Does the company still go by the name tippman, or will it go by some other name? That may be a really stupid question I just asked, but if it does go by another name. WHat would I be looking for?

There's keeping the Tippmann name but keep in mind... (See statement adn Tippmann corporate press release previously posted)
So in an opposite way that you ask these are the Tippmann guns.ORCA said:These are private labeled Leapers/UTG, , HFC, UHC and Be brand guns. So consider thses to be cheap, non upgradeable AEG's, spring shotguns and SMG's, spring/gas/C02 pistols
