Over the past few months, feedback regarding the new TPX Pistol has been overwhelmingly positive.  This new .68 caliber paintball pistol has generated a tremendous amount of interest and excitement among paintballers around the globe.  However, a recent issue regarding the pistol has surfaced….

It appears the dimensions for disposable 12g CO2 cartridges vary far beyond Tippmann’s initial testing and have resulted in some cartridges not puncturing.  Although they tested numerous brands, they have discovered that certain types of cartridges may not puncture on the first pull.  If you have noticed this issue with your TPX Pistol, please call Tippmann at 1-800-533-4831 or visit www.tippmann.com (click on the CO2 Upgrade Kit link and simply complete the appropriate TPX form with your serial number.  Tippmann will send you a free CO2 Upgrade Kit including a new cap with an adjustable set screw that adjusts for various CO2 cartridge sizes, as well as a new, easy-to-install pin assembly.

If you have experienced any other issues, whether it’s velocity, efficiency, or paint breakage related, we encourage you to visit Tippmann’s new TPX Tech Support program on their website to learn more about troubleshooting, installation and maintenance of your TPX pistol.  There are also some helpful tips on how to correctly pick paint and properly load a magazine.  And if you can’t find what you’re looking for in the videos, you may always contact their Tech Service Team at 1-800-533-4831, or 1-260-749-6022.

If you’ve been hunting for the most awesome paintball pistol on Earth, check out the Desert Eagle!  The Desert Eagle Paintball Pistol functions and feels like a real handgun; it’s weighted perfectly and has quite a strong blowback action.  It shoots .43 caliber paintballs and uses a 12g disposable CO2 cylinder that fits inside the handgrip; it’s capable of firing 50 shots per cylinder.  The Desert Eagle Paintball Pistol holds up to 10 paintballs in a magazine, and the magazine is inserted into the handgrip.  You don’t need to put your .43 caliber paintballs into shell casings either, just load them right into the magazine.  Like a real handgun, the Desert Eagle Paintball Pistol stops shooting when you run out of paintballs.  Also, like all quality paintball markers, the velocity is adjustable, with top-end performance at 250fps to 300fps - this is huge for a pistol!  The effective range of the Desert Eagle Paintball Pistol is 20m (65ft), and the maximum range is 50m (160ft).
If you like electronic sights, lasers, flashlights, and all the cool tactical gear that interfaces with Weaver mounts, the Desert Eagle Paintball Pistol features twin Weaver-style rails, one on top and one under the barrel, so you can add whatever cool accessories you want. Train like you’ll fight, add a tactical flashlights and a paintball gun laser; add a new dimension to your CQB scenario gaming with a red dot sight.  It can all happen with the Desert Eagle Paintball Pistol.

Finally!  Tippmann’s version of a .68 caliber tactical pistol, the TPX is an excellent new addition to their legendary line of paintball markers.  The new TPX .68 caliber Paintball Pistol has a compact design; it’s engineered to be super lightweight, easy to maintain, customizable and best of all…. you can always count on the dependability of a Tippmann.  The TPX has a metal trigger that punctured the 12g CO2 cartridge on the first pull.  It comes with 2 self-locking 8 round magazine clips that fit nicely into the handle; they also feature a quick release feed system.  The 12g CO2 cartdridges fit under the barrel with an easy to load 1/4 turn cap.  The new TPX has an external velocity adjuster, internal regulator and has the ability to add a remote line for a greater air supply.  It also comes with a removable barrel that has X7 threads.  This gun is also compatible with the Tippmann Hammerhead 8.5″ barrel (spiral rifled barrel).  On top of all this, the TPX also comes with a maintenance kit and a deluxe carrying case.  Tippmann has also made a nice leg holster that can be switched to right or left leg specifically made for this pistol.

The Universal Pistol Holster from the Extraktion series by NXe is a great idea.  It’s a holster that will fit any pistol regardless of the size.  This can be attested to not simply having a few “settings” or “adapters”; but by allowing the user to completely disassemble the holster, and re-build it to fit their specific gear.  That’s right you take the thing apart, re-shape it to the size paintball pistol you want to carry and re-attach the snap.  It’s simple, but about time someone came out with this.  While your checking out the holster, you might also want to look in on the whole Extraktion Tactical Armor/Vest rig or Tactical Harness to carry your holster.  The vest is more like a body armor but you can add all kinds of attachments to it and turn it into tactical paintball vest.  It uses the MOLLE system of snaps and loops to attach all it’s attachments.  You can get them at www.choicepaintballguns.com.  

  Now this is an awesome paintball pistol!  It’s not one of your smaller sidearms, it’s a big one; like a dirty Harry .44 magnum size.  It will need a large size holster.  It’s .68 caliber and semi-automatic.  Despite it’s larger, commanding size, it only weighs 2.2 lbs.  It’s power supply is 12g CO2 cartridges and shoots a range of 150+ feet.  It also has a 10 round magazine capacity and you can quickly change magazines on the fly in the heat of a battle.  No pistol is faster.  The Overlord paintball pistol has a comfortable trigger frame and the grip feels right in even smaller hands.  It also has an integrated accessory rail for a paintball laser sight, flashlight, small scope or whatever you can fit.  This incredible aluminum milled body, super light weight, quick-draw McGraw, blast your opponent in the face 12 times before he even knows he’s been hit paintball pistol can be found at ChoicePaintballGuns.com.  Get one before your opponents do!

If you’ve played much scenario or woodsball, then you’ve most likely had your share of tragic moments during a game, such as running out of paint or air, having your paintball marker freeze up, etc. Many times, when you encounter such a crisis, your opponent recognizes it and is quick to take advantage of the opportunity. Having a ready-to-fire paintball pistol strapped to your side can mean the difference between being eliminated or being the eliminator. And it’s not that uncommon for paintball pistol users to rack up ‘kills’ after their primary marker runs out of air. Often, when a player hears the tell-tale sign of an opponent’s marker gasping for its last breath, he’ll charge what he assumes is a defenseless enemy – only to be caught off guard by a pistol-totin’ rival. It really comes down to one basic question: Does a backup marker and cool looks of a leg-holstered paintball pistol justify the added gear weight? In a pinch the answer is a definite YES! However, if you are using a paintball pistol, you must face the realities of limited paint and limited air. What’s more, every paintball pistol uses 12g CO2 cartridges as a propellant. CO2 is inherently less stable than compressed air and your accuracy will suffer as a result of velocity variances.

If you want dead-on accuracy for your paintball marker, then you need to add a paintball laser sight.  Some paintball gun scopes have laser sights built in like the Red Dot products.  A laser site will put a tiny dot on your target only visible by you.  You can choose a red laser sight or a green laser, however the gree are apparently more powerful.  Laser sights are generally pretty small so you can mount them must about anywhere on your paintball gun.  Laser sights also fit nicely on paintball pistols and greatly add to the accuracy of your shot.  The most powerful paintball laser sight out right now is the Green Beam 2000.  It has a 1 mile night time range and is 20x’s brighter than red laser sights.  It is also visible in broad daylight.
