little things.
The durability of this marker is exactly what you would
expect from a Tippmann. You could drop it from the Empire
State Building and still shoot it (not really… maybe?). Which
is once again, great for experienced players as well as new.
New players sometimes are not as experienced on how
to handle a firearm or anything like that, so dropping it
and throwing it around is likely to happen. With that being
said, paintball players can get CRAZY in the woods; diving
into bunkers and trees, running, dropping their guns, etc.
If this happens to you a lot, I would suggest a Tippmann
for you. This gun in particular was thrown around from
over 6 foot in the air, kicked around, dragged through the

dirt, stepped on, landed on, and basically everything you
could imagine and still passed the shooting test with flying
colors. In fact, there was hardly even a scratch on it. If that
isn’t amazing, I don’t know what is.
So all in all, if you are looking for a gun for a beginner; or
even a gun for a more seasoned player that will be reliable
and allow you to lay down fire, this is the marker for you.
Many people like Tippmann because they are reliable
and durable and all around a fantastic company, but they

the only one they are releasing. They have a whole line

ways. The Stryker line will be around for years to come and
will be very popular at fields around the world. Check out
