Tippmann Alpha Black Tactical (US Army Paintball)

Anyone ever spend any time with one of these. I'm sure it's just a pretty, pretty 98; but, I'm really thinking about getting one. I'm not a speedballer, I'm the weekly worker/weekend warrior kinda guy. I don't know if I should wait 'til June to get the egrip for an extra 30 bones. I don't know, let's hear what you got.

its just a heavy 98c, but from what I understand it might be easier to take/apart and clean since tippman made some changes lately in that department.

other than that, yeah, just a milsim 98c

Im also a weekend warrior type of player.

Have you checked out the new sp-1 by smart parts? I just bought one as a backup or to have one of my kids use and its awesome.

I know there tends to be alot of SP hate out there, but you need to try and look past that and at least check out that marker.

149.99, select fire (semi, 3 rd and auto) low force bolt (you will NOT be able to chop paint, dare you to try it) and highly air efficient, ive heard reports of over 1200 shots on a 20oz coz, yep, will take co2.

not trying to change your mind, but as an owner of over 15 markers (tippmans included) im just tossing out suggestions

and if you can get one in june that includes an egrip for only an additional 30.00, id personally wait if it was me, but make sure to have cash for a fast loader.

hey man, clearly you dig the milsim look. though if you are looking for something that delievers performance wise, and is in my opinion the best value, nothing compares to the "invert mini". You can get them bnib shipped for $315-$325.

Thanks, guys. I appreciate the feedback. I'm definately a "value player" if you know what i'm saying. My wife and I just had a son in January; and, now she's done working. It's hard enough to drop $150 without sellin off some of my other gear. I know that all this might bring me criticism; but, it's just how it is. I've read a couple of reviews; and, I think I'm gonna go for it. Maybe I'll see some of you guys at Pick up field or Squau peak and I'll try my best to light you up with it. Thanks again.
