How to upgrade your Tippmann
Ok lets face it, stock Tippmann's aren't that great. So if you find yourself buying a Tippmann 98 Custom then chances are you are going to upgrade it. A lot of people feel that the Tippmann 98 is the most upgradable gun out there. So if your a new player and you have a Tippmann you are probably wondering, how should I upgrade this thing?!?! Well after youve gone through all the upgrades below then you will find yourself with an AWESOME paintball gun, with the right upgrades Tippmann's can be amazing.
1. The very first thing you should do to your brand new stock Tippmann is buy a new barrel. The stock barrel is horrible and upgrading to maybe a 14" barrel would be your best choice, and it will most likely increase your accuracy. With a decent price range of about $20-$40, I would suggest a Werks or a Pathfinder barrel.
2. Response Trigger is another great upgrade for a Tippmann. These triggers are AMAZING. A response trigger will increace your rate of fire tremendously. It is a little button that is installed behind your trigger and when you pull off a shot, the trigger hits the "button" then firing off about 3-4 rounds depending on how long you hold the trigger and how much pressure you apply when pulling the trigger.
3. The double trigger is another upgrade. Basically you can have two fingers (your index and middle finger) on the trigger instead of one. Since the Tippmann isn't electric you cannot walk it but with your response trigger behind it you will still have a decent rate of fire. In this situation, a double or single trigger is MOSTLY a personal preference.
4. An expansion chamber is another suggested upgrade for your gun. Basically an expansion chamber will allow the liquid co2 in your tank to expand into a gas before entering your gun. This will increase the accuracy of your gun and the consistency of your shots, It is very nice to have espicially when shooting from afar.
5. A drop forward is not necessary but nice to have. It doen't really improve the performance of your gun. It is just a personal preference. All it does is drop the air tank (which is mounted on the back of your gun) forward so you can keep your gun closer to your shoulder when playing.
6. Electric hoppers aren't a must but with the fast firing response trigger I would suggest an electric hopper. They are like normal hoppers but have a little wheel that cycles your paintballs into your gun. With regular hoppers, there is nothing to feed your paintballs into your gun except for gravity therefore it may not be able to feed the paintballs as fast as you can fire but an electric hopper usually will.
7. Yes ive seen scopes on Tippmann's. They aren't really necessary but they are an upgrade. They are pretty pointless in speedball, but do sometimes help in woodsball. Again a personal preference.
So that covers the most important upgrades you should get for your tippmann. Before anything else, BUY A NEW BARREL. The stock is horrible and that should be the very first thing you buy. After that the order doesn't really matter, the respons trigger is nice to have so I suggest buying that second if you can.
