Axel made me laugh, aka disgusting markers

kevin qmto did you ever get that triumph to work?

yeah, it was just the dumb hammer oring, the side not viable to the naked eye was deteriorated. It appeared fine, but when I took the shell apart it was obvious it wasn't sealing the valve at all, causing the jack hammering.

[Axel]

Right. Good point.

I liked Tippmann back in the day in part because their stuff looked vaguely military without being milsim stupid. The actual "imitations", where they have added useless weight with no practical function, drive me up the wall. I want Denny Tippmann back in full control dagnabbit!

Just my aesthetic preference, I guess

See, I feel like that horrible loader/stock is going to be too wide to shoulder comfortably, and then it still interferes with a mask? I'd try it out, but it just looks like it would be awful in every way

Oh, and the thing doesn't look like any kind of firearm so why the stupid fake mag?

Same reason it has that frame- so that they could recycle parts from the Stryker... even if those parts were dumb.

The strykers just looked like guns cobbled together from multiple random spare parts

The pity is that with a little more care they should have been pretty successful. They're basically autococker-threaded SP-1s inside, but I'm sure the double finger trigger and chunky-looking reg cover turned off a lot of the potential market.

[spikeball]

Same. I want to be disappointed in the best way.

[Siress]

Wow. As hideous as that is, I want to try it. I've always dreamed of a configuration such as that.

.

Thankfully, Tippmann has been working diligently with the Stryker platform to make it even more hideous.

Wasn't John Rice brought on to design that one?

The guy that did that awful COPS thing to the Angels? Strange choice... haha

[spikeball]

Not sure! What else did he design?

[glaman5266]

I actually think the Quadra looks decent, but mainly 'cuz of the colors. Definitely has that orca look. That double hump design does look pretty bad on the Tetra & Protium, but the bolt window on this one mitigates that somewhat.

I'm really surprised that the Tippmann Gryphon hasn't been mentioned yet!

It wants so badly to be like it's bigger brothers, but it's just so out of shape and clunky. Like some kid saw a modern paintball gun and was asked to draw it. This is the result.
