I don't think so man, it looks to me like they just switched to the Phenom paddles.

I like the improvements, especially the safety, and now that HK and Tippmann are buddies, they can make stuff look good :]

The flatline looks awesome compared to the old one!

i will agree with you all the new improvements look great. And i really like the new flatline design, it looks more mp5 than the beer can original.

chadders · 11-19-2010, 02:52 PM

but i liked the beer can

Nice but why does tippmann insist on putting those ugly X7 style frames on all their guns now? The grip is significantly lower, making the overall gun bigger. Seems neat other than that.

Has Tipppmann discontinued the X7 blowback?

yeah. they just have the mech phenom now.

that said,
Tippmann did a great job on this marker. I agree with Wrongbloke, the barrel is a little strange. I liked the bark of the old unported A-5 stock barrels. Lol

I bet we will see plenty of these on the field w/the new Tacamo mag feed kits too.

Looks like the used A-5 prices will drop a lot now, maybe time for a quad...hmmm.....

Looks like a stock phenom barrel now that I think about it.

Tippmann isn't classy enough for Diamond honing
