5 Reasons Why I Love my Tippmann Paintball Gun

I'm really into the sport of paintball, I have been playing it for more than 10 years now and everytime I go I have new experiences and go home with brilliant memories. Over the years I have (as I'm sure you could imagine) spent lots of my hard earned cash on all sorts of Guns, Upgrades, Kits and not forgetting the ammo of course! as I do tend to be a little trigger happy sometimes :C) Anyway, I started using Tippmann paintball guns quite a few years back now and I have to say that thay are by far the absolutely best paintball guns on the market. Period. I just wanted to share with everyone that, while although there are lots of things that make it special, I've decided on the top 5 reasons why I think my Tippmann Paintball Gun stands out from all the others.

5. It strips and cleans in literally seconds ! Any paintballer will know how important this can be. When you are in the middle of a firefight and you have to come out of the action because you have a break stuck halfway down your barrel. This is so frustrating! When this does happen with my Tippmann Gun I can strip it down out in the field, clean it and have it back up and running again in no time.

4. It's outstanding build quality! These guns are built for running around out in the field and can take a real battering, they are so well built and reliable everytime I reach for it I am 100% confident it's going to work and work well.

3. Fully Customizble! I have owned several Tippmann Guns over the years and many of my friends have too. I have yet to come across the same configuration once the owner has started to add thier own attachments. They really do lend to their owners particular style of play or whatever role they tend to perform within the team.

2. Accuracy! Running around the field in close quarters battles or paintball sniper there is a real need for accuracy and these guns really deliver in that department. It is so satisfying to take aim and fire on a target knowing you are going to hit it.

1. Looks! The number one reason has to be how it looks. As I said in reason 3 these Tippmann guns really do look the business, whatever the configuration they look like they perform, tough and menacing! It's a great way of intimidating the competition and really lets them know you are to be taken seriously when you all get out into the field.
