Tippmann TPX Paintball Pistol

The world is patiently awaiting the release of Tippmann's first paintball pistol: The Tippmann TPX. The TPX was engineered to incorporate the best features of some of paintball's best pistols with a few innovative attributes of its own.

The first feature is the overall size. The over-sized futuristic style pistols with a top mag and large grip seem to be fading from the market. Replacing them these days are pistols with a more compact size and design. Tiberius was the first to produce a mag-fed pistol with the introduction of the T8. The concept of feeding from a 'grip inserted mag' helped reduce the overall size of the pistol, making it closer to your typical 45 style gun. The Tippmann TPX utilizes a similar design with a slight variation, the TPX uses a front loaded 12 gram like the paintball pistols of old. The cartridge is loaded directly under the barrel with a 1/4 turn CO2 cap. This probably equates to a more efficient system by not joining the airing and loading duties into one mag. Normally you can get a little more than 8 shots out of a 12 gram cartridge, having them in one mag configuration may be a slight waste of air over time. The only downfall is the time it takes to load both the mag and the air cartridge separately.



On the TPX, the CO2 cartridge is not punctured until you pull the trigger the first time. This is a cool feature for pre-game prep. You can load up without the worry that you don't have a tight seal which could result in a slow, undetected leak. A leak that would otherwise leave you airless during actual play. The grip itself features a load window to allow you to see if rounds are still available for firing. Another ingenious feature created for battle moments when the last thing on your mind is trying to determine if you still have available rounds left in your sidearm.

Other qualities like the external velocity adjuster, ability to add a remote line air set-up and the comfortable ergonomic grip round off the list of features jammed into the Tippmann TPX Pistol. We are expecting the TPX to have a very long run in paintball, not only being the pistol of choice among Tippmann lovers but also the sidearm of woodsball enthusiasts worldwide. You can purchase the new Tippmann TPX through ROCKSTAR Tactical. Arrival date is expected in mid-April. Pre-orders will begin very soon.
