Tippmann TPX (yeah, the new pistol)

[Special Ed]

Just got an e-mail from Tippmann (with about a million others i know).

Thought I'd post it up for all:



Dear Ed,

We at Tippmann are amazed at the number of posts and online discussions regarding the pistol we will be launching soon. Recently, an unauthorized photo was taken and then distributed on the web. We have asked a number of web sites to take down the prototype photo because of the poor image quality. As a T-Mail user, we are showing you for the first time a new shot of the pistol which is closer to how the final production version will look. But, please bear in mind this is still a prototype.
As a quick update to the pistol design, notice that the CO₂ cartridge is located just beneath the barrel. It is not part of the magazine. This helps improve air efficiency, reduces the size of the grip and allows us to provide additional magazines at a great value. When completed, our pistol will have its own unique look and set a new standard for the pistol category in performance and reliability.
Unfortunately, the launch has been delayed for a few months, but we want to thank you for your continued patience – we believe the TPX Pistol will be well worth the wait.

Looks better than the prototype. Still could use some work though.

It looks pretty sweet, to be honest. I'll probably buy one.

I like the CO2 under the barrel idea.

As someone who has alot of pistols I can't wait to try this out. I will say I still like the co2 in the mag of my tac.

I hope they tool up and get production rolling, in quantity or this is going to be hard to get.

Definitely looks better than the somewhat grainy, almost bigfootesque shot of the other one.
I'm definitely going to pick up one of these.
I'm freakin' excited.
