I would expect to see a higher ROF, cylcone improved and the parts to be essentially interchangeable with the A-5.  This new paintball marker will probably be aimed squarely (pun intended) at rec-ball/scenario players and be in the current price range of an upgraded A-5. A-5=mp5 A-10=M4/M68 a good guess? Not a bad synopsis.  Look at the progression in design changes since the Pro/Am came out.  Pro/Lite, 68 Carbine, Pro/Carbine.  It's feasible enough.  Just depends on the new "owners".   true true

I personally would love to see a high-end gun come out from Tippmann.  However, I think $800-1200 is a little too much unless they also focus on the 98 or A-5 as well.  If you focus too much on the high-end gun, you will lose newer players who want an affordable gun.  Likewise, you should focus a little bit on the higher-end market.  I like the idea of TippmannEffect's post, but I guess we will have to wait to find out about this.  I also agree with a-5player555 about it possibly making more players play both woods and speedball.

Oh yeah, it's the player not the gun - a team went to SC Village open play's speedball field with pumps against walk-ons with cockers and angels.  The team won because they moved well!

Well after reading 4/6 pages of this I have come to the conclusion. Screw the electro hi-end stuff. Tippmann should come out with a pump gun like the SL-68II. Another thing..Why is this in upgrades and customizing?

tippmann always makes good guns

If they made a high end gun for speedball it would be good and woulndnt hurt tippmann at all.

If it would do anything it wouyld make woods ballers play speedball, and speedballers see how good tippmanns work and try out the a-5 and paly woodsball. 

And u dont have to spend $200 on paint to paly speed ball, I can go out with just a hopper and 4 pods and get several people out before i even used up my hopper.  But I like woodsball more than speedball cause it takes more skill, and it seperates the boys from the men because at the end of the day a boy will come back clean but with a bunch of paint spot and a man will come back covered with mud and no paint 

that rumors not true because my uncle works at tippmann and he said there isnt.

98c,drop foward,aardvark 12'' snort barrel,aligator trigger,20 oz co2 

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              

 

they should make a gun that looks like a uzi or that type of gun.

you guys its not goin to be a woodsball gun like you think with these riffle lie guns. its goin to be high end like dm4 cocker that type of stuff. i wouldn't count on a riffle like gun. i think the new oweners r lookin to expaned into a new world of paintball,speedball. think about it. its not like tippmann to make a speedball gun, well its not all tippmann now theres new owners. think about it

p90 would be awesome

but if
A-5 = mp5
wouldn't
A-10 = mp10

lol, just bored here, dont mind me

i personally dislike speedball not because of the sport, because i just dont like it, its preference, i have NOTHING against speedballers, i just like woodsball better, because i am a big fan of long term strategy stuff, and thats what woodsball is, the strategy and alertness mixed with patience, is a real blood pumper, atleast for me, i know its diff for speedballers, but hey its preference for everyone, and yea, the extra paint for speedball also makes me prone to playing it often. plus my gun is woodsball made, with camo paintjob and whatnot.

in terms of whether they would make a high-end marker or not, they should, to expand their customers, even though most speedballers would be reluctant because its a tippmann, word-of-mouth will get to them shortly enough and people will flock to it to test it out. This is a very smart move by tippmann...if its true

and for those who say they'll turn away if they make a high-end marker...you guys are quite the loyal crowd aren't you?

ppl dares somthing wrong wit dis u see how many bps its "says" it shoots, well the 2 fastest markers on the planet is the angel 4, or the PBX cocker, now my friend has the angel and ive see the PBX cocker shoot, u kno wat happens when they reach 30 bps, paintballs collide and break in mid air, and the fastest loader out dare is the halo b w/ the victory board, or q-loader.....sooo im still not gana fully trust wat dare saying
