Tippman Paintball: game with use of high tech gear

High tech usage for items other than industrial products means introduction of electronic controls. Of course, more and more industrial products also have controls using electronics and the computer.

The computer has not yet reached playing gear but electronics certainly has. A typical example is a particular model of tippman paintball guns. Playing gear for paintball games is very much different from what is used in any other game. All other games are played without specialized appliances, except rackets, bats hockey sticks all of which are simple sports materials. The paintball game involves the use of pistols or guns by all the players, the pistols etc using a soft material called paintball as ammunition. The high technology using micro switches a dry battery etc; is applied for the operation of the tippman paintball gun while in play. The player has not only to be skilful in his play but also should have the working knowledge of the technical intricacies of the gun that is being used.

For a game that has become immensely popular in a very short time and is played in many countries in the world paintball has no internationally accepted rules for playing the game. The teams which play this particular game decide the rules that they will follow for that particular game. The game involves capturing something marked for the purpose on either side of play. In defending the targeted marker paintball guns are used to hit the opposite players and vice versa. The tippman paintball gear is useful in both offensive and defensive strategy. By hitting the opposite players with paintballs their strength get reduced and the team achieving the most number of hits get definite advantage and leave only a small area of the dress with paintball looking prominent. The game has taken the fancy of military and police who use the game for tactical training using firearms to their personnel.

The tippman Paintballs come from the Tippman Company which claims to have come out with paintball markers suitable for automatic or semi automatic functioning. This development has no bearing on the game because it is played by people using hand rifles or guns which they have to operate during the close of play. In the field of paintball games Tippman products have tried to come out with durable products, with a high performance level and at the same time with reasonable prices. The innovative developments in the feed system and the structure of the barrel have all been put to first time use. Similarly markers using propone gas for operating the guns are also a unique development. With such innovative and creative ideas the products coming from Tippman Company are welcome to people who look forward to getting equipment which come with improved designs and performance levels.

The Tippman Company saw some tremendous growth in the latter half of this decade after some restructuring of the management. The Tippman Paintball got a great infusion of high technology of various types to produce different forms of paintball guns, with variety of new features. Some of the new methods adopted have helped to reduce the number of breakages that regularly happened in the markers. This new technology is in use for only last 5 to 6 years. Development of new products and improving in the working of existing models has been going on to produce perceivably favorable results. The electronic triggers, loader operated by batteries, are all aimed at improving the efficiency of the paintball gun. The barrel is connected to the gun through a special adapter which will accept any barrel of different make also.

The barrel plays a significant part in the performance of the paintball gun, in respect of trajectory, speed of the projectile, and the range of shooting. The tippman paintball barrels have seen tremendous improvements in their design. The Flat line model has been found to be the most advantageous in the operation of the gun. It is a little different from the normal straight barrels but it is a little curved. A small curvature created in the barrel gives the paintball gun a much longer range of firing. Against a normal distance of 100 feet which a gun can fire using a straight barrel, the curvature barrel is able achieve a range of upwards of 250 feet. Another advantage of having the curvature is that the gun could be directly pointed towards the target instead of the usual system of firing at a small angle. However there is an inherent disadvantage is the curvature breaking the paintball.

Performance with reference to all parameters is the best feature of tippman paintball packages. Innovations and improvements have made the Tippman products the most sought after by all people playing paintball games and also people who deal in paintball gear and accessories. The company has been keen to infuse better technology in the working of the tippman paintball gear. The sole purpose of spending time and money for developing new models is to give players equipments, gear which they can handle easily and run about carrying them. Precision in shooting is something which all players do appreciate and playing the game becomes really enjoyable when the player is equipped with gear with which he can shoot at his targets even from a long distance. It may take some time for people to get used to any new version of a product but they get used to it and will start appreciating the beneficial effects of the changes introduced.
