Tippmann X7 Vs. Tippmann A5
The king of paintball has been dethroned…or has it. For years now new ballers and veteran ballers alike have had a unique spot in their hearts for the Tippmann A5 but the question on the street lately has been will the newest release from Tippmann, The Tippmann X7, conjure up the same cult following that the Tippmann A5 has enjoyed for years?
For years now paintballin’ guys and gals alike that have just been finding into the sport have gone the A5 route due to its reliability, ease of use and of course the bang for the buck aspect. Most men and women have held onto their beloved A5′s as they have progressed in their ability due to the fact of the A5′s capability to do the identical. No matter what your abilities are the A5 has the ability to adapt and develop appropriate along with you (unless of course of course your expertise have to do with speedball, that is another story).
The current release of Tippmanns X7 came with a lot of hype. It was the 1st release in history that was a collaboration in between a manufacturer and an existing paintball retailer have joined forces to release a gun. The real question is whether or not a collaboration like this is for the best. There is very a laundry lists of cons that come from a collaboration of this nature, one of the biggest is limited mods.
Despite the fact that Tippmann is claiming that there will be millions of diverse setups for the appear of the actual gun, that is all banking on when Specops decides to release them, simply because they have exclusive rights to the mods for the X7. Now does “exclusive rights” mean that other producers are not going to enter the industry with some mods of their own, possibly, perhaps not. I guess it all depends on the mood of the guys at Tippmann and Specops regardless of whether they make a decision to pursue legal action or not is up to them.
The largest downside to the Tippmann X7 is the lack of control that the paintballers about the globe have over the “non-commercialized” customization of the marker itself and that is really exactly where the A5 is nevertheless far superior, there are thousands of methods currently that you can customize your Tippmann A5 and there are no restriction as to who can jump in the marketplace when they create a thing that is different and possibly cooler than the last guy had produced.
With all that mentioned our viewpoint on the Tippmann X7 is that it is overall a excellent gun. How can you go incorrect with Tippmann Reliability right? A couple of the capabilities that we liked the most about it is the scratch resistant plastic, which has gotten some mixed reviews and most particularly we like the e-trigger possibilities. Compared to the etrigger choices on the A5 exactly where you have to do a lot of holding the button down and waiting for the light to turn and then stand on your head and jump up and down on your left foot, the Tippmann X7 etrigger permits you to switch from safety, to single shot to totally car although nonetheless have the option to fire in 3 round spurts. Even with all the politics surrounding the gun we feel it is a excellent gun for beginner to intermediate woodsball players.
