Tippmann Expands X7 Phenom Marker Platform

Tippmann is pleased to announce we are expanding the hot selling X7 Phenom platform with the introduction of a mechanical-only version that can be upgraded to a full e-Grip version; as well as several new wider tactical-style magazines including a new M16, G36 and AK-47. To watch Denny Tippmann, Jr. talk about the new marker and accessories, check out this video at Tippmann: Tippmann Updates. he new mechanical-only X7 Phenom will retail for $299, and is designed for those players who may not have the need or desire to use electronics, as well as those who may simply want to invest in electronics later, but want the benefits of the marker's FlexValve technology.

The three new magazines add to the MP5, MP5SD and UMP mags already currently available for your X7 Phenom marker, and give a true realistic look of an M16, AK-47 and G36–three of the more popular gun styles among woodsball and scenario players. These new wider magazines feature an innovative locking mechanism that includes a new trigger guard, but retail for the same price as all other Tippmann magazines.

There will be a lot more news on this introduction coming soon, but until then you can also visit Tippmann or contact your local paintball dealer.  Although we have begun shipping these new items quantities are limited so we encourage you to contact your dealer to get your orders in now.

It slightly worries me that milsim markers are becoming more and more accessible to the general public.


 How long till someone uses one to commit a crime like they do with airsoft guns, or gets shot because they wield one like a gun?

Not that this isn't cool on tippmann's part, just the movement in general scares me.

The AK is decent, but the rest look rather bad. Even when I was madly into Milsim I wouldn't have purchased one of those.

Sorry but it's true.

Enough with the milsim markers already.

Also, why is this in T&O?

The G36 isn't too bad either.  I really think the A5 is better suited for MP5 mods . . . and I have never thought Tippmanns were that suitable for M16/M4 mods.

Edited Addition:  I am glad though that they finally are coming out with more magazine options.

A- It's how they made the cheddar
B- it's a paintball forum. Their paintball forum.

Agreed.

It is junking up my precious topic space.

Also I am agreeing with USAF, the milsim thing is really getting out of hand. Paintball in general is trying to distance itself from the guns and killing image in order to bring it into the mainstream more. Markers like these are not helping the cause at all.

Mack, you know exactly what I am talking about.

Quit trolling.

FE: My Phenom works quite well in the cold. I had no issues with it whatsoever last winter.
