Tippmann Goes Electro Tippmann, long known for its durable, mechanical, blowback guns such as the 98, A5 and X7, has entered the electropneumatic arena with today's introduction of the X7 Phenom. Tippmann claims that the spool-valve Phenom will get 1,400 shots on a 68/45 tank and will run on compressed air or CO2 with basically no recoil. Since the gun is based on the existing X7 body, existing upgrades (including the flatline barrel) will work on the new Phenom. I'm very interested to see if Tippmann's claim of the durability and reliability of a Tippmann coupled with the speed and efficiency of an electropneumatic will win over customers. If nothing else, it's definitely a change of image for paintball's woodsball leader.Tippmann Goes Electro originally appeared on About.com Paintball on Wednesday, October 21st, 2009 at 15:22:47.Permalink | Comment | Email this paintball.about.com |
