Tippmann M4 Carbine Airsoft?

Can you divulge what else is on the top of that list?

How would compatibility work with AR grips that change the angle of the grip itself. Grips like the BCM Gunfighter or Magpul MOE-K have a steeper angle, more akin to the grip angle on a 1911.

Some of us can't stand magpul accessories, so keeping it stock and original is a good thing! Thankyou!

I wouldn't be counting your chickens before there hatched, people. Tippmann guns usually have quality control problems at launch. Not to mention they've gotten into the habit of re-re-re-releasing the same products with one or two extra bells and whistles every couple years. They recently steped into the Speedball market with a gun that was fairly 'meh'. Considering this is a whole new field their stepping into, I wouldn't expect magic.

True, I do remember getting the TPX when it first came out and they had that problem with certain brands of co2 capsules not working. At the same time, Tippmann came out with a new co2 cap free of charge with shipping to existing owners. If there is a problem, they will fix it ASAP.

As a non GBBR user I'm interested in this product, but I'm very disappointed they went with AEG barrel and hop-up.

Interesting times lay ahead for airsoft, it seems, indeed.

From a training standpoint the gas in mag option is preferred as you don't need to modify handling to accommodate the tether..

the dual feeding option though does provide some functions that expands the utility of the system .. I'm looking forward to these systems..

if they are solid and reliable .. I can see some getting into the stable

Is it limited to only go as high as 400 fps or could it possibly be adjusted to shoot higher then 400 fps? And yes I do know most field limits are 400.

I imagine it will. A paintball marker can go far past the maximum 300 fps

AEG can go much higher with primitive springs until you break all the gears.

Paintball guns are fully pneumatic which use a reg to control air for various velocities. It is governed by the regulator which can be adjusted on the fly.

Polar Star are the pioneer of the pneumatic conversions for the airsoft AEG. HPA based airsoft guns will be the future, once they figure a better way of hiding the tank or get it smaller so it can be completely hidden.

My guess is that it can go higher, but it might be tournament locked like a lot of paintball markers. Its not hard to remove the tournament lock, but its there mainly to avoid the assholes who like to crank up the fps on the field.

I do prefer the standard A2 grip.

So far I like where it's going, it does show some promise, except for the line coming out of the grip. It changes handling, gets in the dirt when you crouch, etc. This is enough to be a dealbreaker for me.
It would be a LOT better if it could come out from the rear of the receiver (and thus could be run along a sling, both for usability and look).

- Most paintball guns are not fully pneumatic.
and a huge portion adjust the FPAS by increasing spring pressure. the very highest end guns adjust by reg pressure or dwell adjustment of some sort..

Tippmann may not want to say how high the gun can be adjusted, it might cause problems for export, or insurance.. we will know soon..
