Hi meph (just got up)Hey Chrus,
Sorry for the late reply, went out for a meal with the wife and inlaws lol.
Im kinda new to this so you will have to bear with me im afraid; I have Just a few questions really:
Is this also known as the Tippman x7 phenom? Or is that a different gun? what is the difference between this and the phenom if they are different?
How does this gun compare to the Tippmans A5? (is it considered better? not as good? On par?)
How customizable is this gun in comparison to the Tippmans A5?
Also when did you purchase this gun? and is it the latest model out currently?
Does it work perfectly or is there anything wrong with it?
Does an Air cannister come with it or that needs purchasing seperately?
Sorry about the questions; im just trying to do a bit of research as this is all completely new to me
Im in the Leicester area so not actually too far! I wouldnt want to trouble you driving and dont mind the trip up myself if I do decide to buy
1. the only difference between mine and the phenom is that the phenom can semi auto shoots in a 3 round burst, IMO you don`t really need semi auto just pop a few rounds of squeezing the trigger, or just go fully auto with it held down (wrecks at close range)
2. tippmann a5 is a great gun and there pretty much on par, it all comes down to personal preference. The x7 is more of a scenario marker and i think it looks better too. The a5 has abit more kick to it the x7 hardly has any and improves shooting accuracy.
3. The tippmann x7 is the most customisable marker on the market (FACT) you can change the barrel, stock, eyes, it comes with rails to add alomost any scope attachments. You can make the thing look like an AK if you wanted to, or even a X36. Not blowing my own horn here, but when i go to my local paintball event the gun gets alot of attention, turns so many heads

The gun was purchase last year it`s the latest modal of the x7 range. As I have said it`s been used 4 times and is mint.
The gun works perfect never had any problems with it.
There is no air cannister with the gun, i just use the air cannister that gets supplied when you actualy go paint balling at your local, the tippmann x7 uses a 3000psi Air System with packs a punch, but your not allowed to take your own air beacuse it`s more powerful than the ones your local uses, beacuse it`s classed as unfair using your own air makes the ball go further and harder, thats why you have to use ther air to be on par with eveyone else, this happens with every local you go to theres no way around it or don`t play witch sucks IMO.
Also forgot to mention that the MAG in the tippmannx7 also dubs as a repair kit, you can keep alan keys in it as well as loob and other bits.
hope this helps.
PS love the bigg boss sig, going to euro gamer this year, hideo will be there showcasing his new game engine, gatta try and get my copy of MGS4 singed.
