I once contacted their support cause I sent my "marker" in for warranty, they're like oh yeah unfortunately your chunk of metal is um (probably in their museum) but nothing we can do for you except ship you our top of the line brand new model... Dang you guy's really screwed me.

Tippmann really are the GOATs of just like... the 'I like to go paintballing everyonce in a while' demographic.

Yeah, yeah, other people make fancier pantsier shit... T98 is the goddamn AK47 of markers.

Maybe one of the actual last examples of American manufacturing one could actually be proud of.

They were definitely great when I sent them a used ProAm I had bought. Supposed to convert it over to a ProLight version, but I think they sent me a pretty much new marker, didn't recognize any "old" parts on it. Haven't played in years, but still have it stored away.
