the tippmann alpha black tactical is a great gun in my opinion. now i don't want to start anything but a lot of people are wrong about the weight. i am sorta on the fluffy side and i don't think its all that bad.

now onto the accuracy. the accuracy is great right out of the box .

this gun is probably the most comfortable i have ever used.

guess what only $120-$150 not bad for a tippmann that's better than some of the older models like the 98c.

the e-trigger is definitely better but i cant afford it.

overall this gun is not for many beginners because of maintenance but if you read the manual that comes with it it isnt all that bad

i have to give a 9/10 because no gun is perfect

Or, if you have the cash, you could get an X7.

The link will let you build one and give you the general price tag for it (which isn't necessarily accurate at all).

My general gripe with the Alpha Black is that the gun has to be manually disassembled to adjust the fire mode (semi-burst-full). The X7 e-grip allows a single button to control all that.

Not the section of the site to write reviews in. All i'll say is if you think good f the Alpha series (or anything Tippmann) please go out and shoot more guns. SP and BT/Invert both make superior products.

Not necesarily. I would take a 98 over any of those, because you don't have anywhere near the same amount of options. Plus, 98s with a 2-wayed e-bolt can shoot faster.

I look at performance over how my gun looks which is basically all you can do with a tippy. Speed isn't even a deciding factor since it's about the player and how fast the gun is able to shoot. Although from what i've been hearing about the Vibe/SP1 Blackheart board they're making those guns insane.
