Paintball Gun Manufacturer Becomes A Leader In The Industry
By Tim Osborn

Tippmann guns have been around since 1986, when the company decided to change from manufacturing replica, half-scale machine guns to the industry.

Although the company was afraid the sport of would be a passing fad, they decided to make the shift into making their proprietary Tippmann markers because gun law changes were making it more and more difficult to manufacture replica guns.


Since the Tippmann's were afraid the trend wouldn't last, they decided to make high performance, durable Tippmann guns that were affordable. With the help of their background in machine gun manufacturing, they were the first to build semi-automatic and fully-automatic markers.

Obviously, the sport grew and the demand for Tippmann markers grew too. Today, there are a variety of Tippmann guns to select from...

98 Custom Act(available in camo, silver, black, and more)

C3

X7 (available in Basic, Response, EGrip, and more)

With so many different, high-quality Tippmann markers to select from, it's easy to see why the company is considered a leader in the industry. It also explains why the company was able to grow from eight employees in 1986 to over 120 today. The creativity of the replica guns has allowed the sport to continue evolving. Currently, scenario games are growing at a tremendous pace.

Paintball parks are developing nationwide, hosting a variety of scenarios such as famous war battlegrounds like D-Day on Normandy Beach.

it exciting to the paintballers involved. Tippmann has grasped this concept and put their manufacturing expertise behind it.

For those interested in safety, Tippmann guns are a must. The quality, durability and reliability of the guns have allowed the sport to flourish. Without the Tippmann expertise and knowledge of replica guns, the sport would likely be much less advanced. One can only imagine if the early guns were unsafe, riddled with part breakdowns and generally poor quality. On the contrary, the sport has evolved from this manufacturers keen sense of quality products.

Being a leader means that other manufacturers such as Kingman Spyder, Dangerous Power, Dye, Smart Parts and numerous others must also compete. To compete they also have to provide top quality, reliability and safety to the consumers. The Tippmann's have lead the way in the industry and all enthusiasts around the world are better off for it. The follower's have developed a wide array of features and choices that complement the player's abilities. The players are well armed to take on the scenarios and challenges before them.
