I's say this is a rebranded Tac8, that's obviously what the silhouette is.
This. I know that you can get more out of them but it means you have to carry around mags with 12 grams in them until you get to reload. I'd rather just dump the twelvie when it's spent. but maybe thats just the old school in me.

I suppose I could learn to like it.

if you look closely at the area forward of the trigger guard youll see a tac rail and it has a glock-esc trigger guard and the top of the slide looks like a tib

im interested to see were this goes

That is what I'm thinking.

I'd be interested in a pistol that essentially had 2 mags, one for co2 and one for paint. Basically just a tac8 with the mags cut in half. That way you could swap whatever you actually needed to swap, and carry more paint. (mags would probably be much cheaper too.)

Cool, thought you might have had the wrong idea and just wanted to clarify. Really I'm not going to defend its system. I think a stbb pistol is just as, if not more user freindly with 2 more rounds, and at around half the price. So a tiberius is a little hard for me to justify. But they are just really dang cool

I don't know about everyone else, but when I first saw this I thought it looked like a really bad photoshop. Could just be me though.

Tippmann tried to buy out tiberius a few times.

I am curious to see if they slimmed the grip down. Thats the only thing keeping me away from a tib.

chachi where are you located? you sound local to the ft wayne area. id be great to have another person come out to the mech and pump shoots we've been putting together in avilla.

I'll have to buy a pair of these so I can finally play for the Tippmann Team at the Tippmann Vs the World Challenge game.

I've hooted on the TAG as compared to my Miltec G2 for firepower in big games, but have to admit I love it and now that I've worked out a secret method for reloading paint into the mags better on the field I'm liking it more and more. Weekend before last while my Miltec was on loan, I rolled with just my TAG and held my own quite well.

I always thought the TAG should have an underbarrel changer like the AFT and a magazine just for paint.

The tib may be a bit bulky in the grips, but after a while you get used to it, and I've come to feel very comfortable with it. I do agree that the grips could be slimmer, but I've adapted to the tib as is. I'd love for the gas and the paint to be contained seperatly though, i hate wasting that little bit of gas between re-loads. All I know is I need to know more, and I'll probably need to get one just cause I'm a bit of a pistol whore, lol.
