Tippmann X7 Paintball Gun – A Great Marker
The Tippmann X7 Electro Paintball Marker Gun, fondly dubbed as the X7, promises to blow you away with its brand new features and sleek design and, ultimately, live up to its name and more.
Looks can be deceiving, especially when it comes to the Tippmann X7. You might underestimate this 0.68 caliber paintball marker at first because of its compact appearance, especially since its measures 19.75 inches—3 inches shorter compared to the regular X7s—and considerably lighter at 3.92 lbs despite its aluminum body. But what the marker lacks in weight and size, it greatly makes up for with the technology it utilizes to further heighten its power. As they say, big things can come from small packages.
The many benefits of having a smaller magazine is that you have better spacing for the trigger, therefore you won’t be needing shrouds or handles anymore to maintain your hold on the gun. Maintenance of the Tippmann X7 Paintball would be the least of your worries, whether it’s outside or inside the battlefield, because you only need to incorporate fewer wear parts with the X7 Phenom’s design. Stripping the paintball marker down is also easier with its pushpin construction. A more compact marker also makes for better close quarter combat.
The electro-pneumatic marker utilizes an open bolt blow forward spool valve system. This system virtually eliminates the problem of recoil and lets you open fire continuously and smoothly. Without worrying about aim adjustment, your accuracy is significantly improved. Stability is also enhanced with its all-metal trigger. The Tippmann X7 Paintball Gun also greatly relies on Tippmann’s newly developed FlexValve technology, for better air efficiency. No other paintball marker carries this brand-new technology. With greatly improved air efficiency, you can get more shots from single PSI tank. For example, you can get more than 1,400 shots with a 68 cubic-inch 4500 PSI tank thanks to the FlexValve technology which operates down below 300 PSI.
Even with all that, you don’t have to worry about losing firepower due to the marker’s battery dying on you. When on semi-auto mode, the marker still lets you fire even without battery power. The redesigned Cyclone Feed system’s paddles can even feed up to 20 balls per second without battery support.
The X7 Phenom is also very flexible. You can very easily switch between manual or electronic firing modes, depending on your personal preference or the demands of your environment. You can also choose between using CO2 or compressed air, add new sights and handles to the picatinny top rail, and much more. Customize this unit to your heart’s content because it can accommodate the current X7 mods and upgrades, even the favorite Flatline barrel.
The high-performance Tippmann X7 can easily look like your dream paintball marker because of its customizable features. But it can also let you try out other features and discover new favorites. The fact that this is the only marker to use a technology specifically developed by a highly reputable company like Tippmann is enough reason to splurge on it.
