Stock hammer Vs TechT Zero Kick hammer on Tippmann A5 Paintball Marker

This is a simple comparison video to highlight the difference between the two components. First goes the stock Tippmann hammer and then TechT Zero Kick hammer. Differences are most notable when comparing the waterline and the point where my wrist meets my sweatshirt. No real noticeable difference in report, but this may be due to crappy camera mic and lack of barrel. Trigger pull is slightly more aggressive on first video, but not enough to skew results. My conclusion after making the comparison is simply that the Tech T Zero Kick hammer produces much less kick to my hand than the stock Tippmann hammer does. No other claims are made or implied by this comparison. Thanks !

i bought the zero kick hammer about 2 months ago and had a lot of problems with it dropping my fps so i called techt and they said that they had to totally re-design the plastic insert and the new kits now include a spring and better guide pin. they were very cool though and earned my business with their customer service.

Yea, you must have bought from the first batch like i did. I knew about the problems from A5OG so i had TechT send me the new insert and spring, and everything was completely fine after that - I dont begrudge them the glitch, i bought from literally the first batch they made - afaic thats just the price you pay for being an early adopter. As with you he was cool about sending the replacement and i couldnt be happier with the results. My A5 still has a lil kick but now its one smooth operator :D

man look at how different you pull your trigger in these two tests

this test doesn't convince me

[3truscan]

Yea, i figured someone would notice that. Fact is, the pull of the trigger has absolutely no effect on the action of the hammer beyond tripping ir or not - the trigger bone is connected to the sear bone and the sear bone either lets the hammer go, or doesnt. It has zero effect on how hard said hammer strikes the valve pin or how hard it returns from that forward position. The only thing moving the marker is the mass of the hammer sliding forward and back in its track. But good eye, regardless.

You can actually see a delay between the trigger jerk and the movement of the water though. It demonstrates most of the recoil is done by the mechanics of the marker and not the finger jerking.

exactly, thank you. This isnt a highly scientific test, its just a simple comparison. Even if i had to admit the trigger pull changed anything, the difference would be so minute in relation to the difference in kick between the two hammers it *still* wouldnt matter. Thanks for commenting!

Nice little demo. At least you can see a visual difference between the 2 bolts. Cheers Fella.

[glennkon]

[Sk8on4ever]

The x7 and a5 and 98 all have the same recoil they work on basically the same internals

[x7ogforever]

GREAT VIDEO!!! THAT REALLY HELPED AND WAS EXACTLY WAT I WAS LOOKING FOR!!!!!! 5/5 + I LIKE THE WAY U SHOWED HOW MUCH SHOCK THERE WAS.

1 thing, do u know if the tippmann x7 has a lower recoil than the a5, cause i dunno if im gonna get that for my x7
