Tippmann TiPX (TPX) Pistol Field Test & Review

[gregcrux]

Which do you guys prefer the TiPX or T8.1?

[ModernIntel]

@gregcrux T8.1, but we will be doing a comparison video soon as to why.

[helibait]

Okay I think that this review is definatly fair and just. 

[paintballdavinci]

What do u prefer the t8.1 or tipx

[leelatt]

lol I'm not sure if you guys made this video as a joke or not, but the TiPX isn't a new version, there was a legal issue for tippmann using the brand name of TPX due to TPX sports having the copyright to it, so tippmann changed the name to avoid legal problems. there aren't any differences between a TPX or a TiPX, if you take them both apart you will see there isn't any difference between the two. the name is the only change.

[ModernIntel]

@leelatt yes, we did explain that in the video along with a couple times in these comments. Although the TiPX could be considered the "new" version since it is guaranteed to have all of the up to date fixes that the original TPX had. The TiPX also comes with the tru-feed 7 ball mags as well.

[axlf123]

when you buy it what comes with it?

[ModernIntel]

@axlf123 the pistol, 2x 7 round magazines, barrel plug, tool bag, manual.

[axlf123]

@ModernIntel do you get the c02 cartridges from another place then

?

[ModernIntel]

@axlf123 ya you can get co2s from home hardware stores and other department stores.

[axlf123]

@ModernIntel doesnt matter which size right?

[ModernIntel]

@axlf123 you need at 12gram co2

[axlf123]

@ModernIntel aight thanks

[JBmcwiener]

Anyone did a in dept review with the remote airline kit?

[Danno0618]

i like how it has a little kick to it, but i prefer the t8.1, my friend got the TiPX and i got the T8.1 and i shot his and it had recoil

[ModernIntel]

@Danno0618 ya the TiPX definitely has more recoil than a T8.1

[jimbojetset2010]

Don't know how you guys were loading the mag, I found that there's a little grip on the side of the spring that you can pull all the way down and it locks the spring into place... Then you can load the ammo and hit the bottom of the mag all you want and the balls will go nowhere. It only released when the magazine is slid into the gun.

[ModernIntel]

@jimbojetset2010 yup, thats the one and only way to load the TiPX mags. Even after this, if you bump the bottom of the mag, paintballs will pop out like in the vid.

[xCanuckfan16x]

@ModernIntel Did you find that this was a problem across all mags you tried?  I am assuming so :( I really want to pick one of these up.

[ModernIntel]

@xCanuckfan16x do you mean with the paintball popping out with a little bump? If so, yes.

[tymbershade]

Thank you both for the revisit on this marker. I always wondered why it ejected a few paintballs in the mag pouch. I've resorted to using those rubber bracelets you get in gumball machines or Dollar stores to hold all the ounds in (while in the mag pouch). Have you guys tried field testing products durring games?

[ModernIntel]

@tymbershade ya we have in-game videos of several markers check out our channel to find the vids. Unfortunately this time of the year, there aren't too many games.

[tymbershade]

@ModernIntel I'll definately will check out those videos. We really need more indoor fields in the Northland and in Canada.

[GatekeepersPaintball]

the "i" in TiPX means improved 7 ball tru-feed mag is included vs the old 8 round mag, that is all, internally no changes.

[ModernIntel]

@GatekeepersPaintball not even close. the TPX had to be renamed because of a baseball bat that owned the name "TPX'. The mags a are called "tru-feed" they have nothing to do with the "i" in the name. It's all legalities.

[GatekeepersPaintball]

@ModernIntel ah, well I was going on information provided by Tippman when asked what the "i" stood for. Makes sense they wouldn't say it was due to legalities.

[ModernIntel]

@GatekeepersPaintball ya like it does have to do with other reasons like the one you have said, but the primary reason is the legal name change. Do a search in Google for TPX and see what comes up to the top.

[cefReconPaintBall]

i would rather have to pay a few extra bucks for a mag than have to buy a new one every big game because of breaking

[misterill]

great vid, guys!

[xCanuckfan16x]

I own two 8.1's and was thinking about getting a tipx. Although my tib has some issues sometimes I think this review has turned me away from the tipx. 7 shots? With the tib you can load 1 in the chamber and 8 in the mag. The accuracy on the tib is a lot better too. Thanks for the review though looks like there are still issues with it though

[Hamishcloudsurfer]

@xCanuckfan16x With the TiPX you can load 1 in the chamber and another just on top for a total of 9 shots. But I have to agree with you, I find my T8.1 a little more accurate.

[rejuised]

its huge! i think ill just stick with my T8.1

[ArcticCatsRape]

im am going to get this just so i can be a gangster

[ModernIntel]

@ArcticCatsRape damn it feels good to be a Gangsta!

[JamieInnesNZ]

"Gangster style, don't shoot it that way", would love to hear this is a music video :)

[ModernIntel]

@JamieInnesNZ it's official, "Gangster style" shooting is now a part of all pistol reviews!

[Finest1510]

Can you give me a tutorial on how to put on a Contour HD camera on a I4 mask I could never find one please make one

[ModernIntel]

@Finest1510 check out my videos, I have a vid about how I rigged up my Contour to my mask

[Finest1510]

@ModernIntel Yeah I saw that can you take of the sticky clip and put it on like the other side?

[BeatlesDrumCovers]

Hey, guys what helmet cam setup is that. because i am looking for one for my dye i4's

[ModernIntel]

@BeatlesDrumCovers i'm using the ContourHD I just use the flat surface mount that comes with the camera.
