| Review: |
I was not expecting much when I got this marker since it was plastic, and very low cost. ($99 for a Powerpack), howeever I was very surprised in a good way. The marker turned out to be way more than I expected. It was very reliable and sturdy. It fires a lot like my 98 Custom. The plastic turned out to be better than I thought. I beat the marker up pretty bad, and there were no issues with the plastic. I actually think that this was more accurate than my 98. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I would definately reccomend this marker. For $99 you get a great marker, very good goggle, hopper and tank. For the player just getting into the sport, I don't think you can do any better than this! |

| Review: |
Ok this gun is basically a Tippmann 98. T he plastic is very hard to damage and even when damaged still looks fine.
My buddy picked this gun up so that he wouldnt have to keep on spending 70+ buks every time he played paintball. At first i thought he made a terrible choice and that thr gun would suck. I was wrong. The gun fires just like a 98, bt nayb a ittle more accurate. It is very light despite its large size. The double trigger has an extremely light pull for all those that like to shoot fast.
Overall i think it is a good product, ust ugly. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Good product, just ugly, id give it a 9.5 if i could but since not, ill just round up and give it a ten. |

| Review: |
A buddy of mine picked one of these up to play at the local field, for the few times that he plays. I let him use of my spimmys for a few rounds while i gave his gun a run through. So i gassed up and went to the crono, and shot all over the board. were talking a +-25fps. i figured maybe it was the CO2 and the heat, so i switched to HPA, a little better but still not the +-5 fps that you would like to see. so i get out on the field, my hands starting to cramp trying to hold this awkward marker. a few things i started to notice while in the field were how loud this thing was and the terrible blow back. my hopper looked like one of those children's ball popper toys that you push along the ground. the range on this gun was ok, but the accuracy was terrible. cleaning this thing was also a lot more difficult then it should be. for an entry level marker, this should have a bolt out back set up thats easy for a beginner to take apart and put back together on the field without needing a tool kit. as for the plastic body, its not a s durable as an Ion and doesn't have good feel. |
|
| Conclusion: |
All in all i think this gun is ugly, and so far off the entry level standards, that it has no chance of a future model. tippmann really screwed up with this line. I would spend your money on a low end spyder, at least you can upgrade those into a mid level marker. sorry for the low rating all you tippmann lovers, but this is how i feel. |

| Review: |
Overall, I liked the gun. I was able to compete with my more experienced friends with better guns and didn't feel inferior. although it was a cheaper gun, it still has Tippmann written all over it. My experience with the gun failed when for no reason, the CO2 began to leak. It was not the O-ring on the tank but the metal hose inside the grip. The gun is not user friendly if you have to take it apart. Play hard while it is still under warranty. Overall, good gun for beginners, cheap for weekend players. I am taking mine back to either get it repaired or replaced but pleased enough to keep it. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Good starter, save money, buy better marker as you improve |

| Review: |
Well, I just arived at the local field for a good day of ballin when the owner showed me his new nailgun. I've never seen a Tippmann nailgun before. After laughing for about 10 minutes, I decided to try it out. Snagged a CO2 bottle and slapped my reloader b on it(I started laughing again) and off to the feild I went.
To tell you the truth, i was impressed. The stock barrel wasn't too shabby. Trigger pull was lighter than a 98c in my opinion. Don't expect to be hitting 20bps though. The plastic is very tough and it protects the marker very well, but it is ugly. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Not a bad marker, but I don't see myself buying one. I would rather buy a 98c than to walk on the field with this ugly thing. I don't know what Tippmann was smokin when they drew this one up, but my rating will not be affected because of the looks. |

| Review: |
The field i play at uses these thing as rentals and they r pritty sturdy. they r basiclt 98's with plastic bodys. i dont think they r very upgradable, u just buy the modle u want and thats all u get so its not exactly like the 98 . the body is pritty BIG not made for small hands. but a very good entry level gun. but i dont think its upgradeable. so i would just get a 98, or buy the ext version. |
|
| Conclusion: |
If u r guna get 1 get the ext version its only like 50$ more. |

| Review: |
The Triumph is a Tippmann line today discontinued. It will be a pity not to found the good things they brought with their design.
The idea, I think , it was to put a marker with speedball design, the 98C internal quality and a good affordable price as an option for beginners.
So, what be had?
It was cheap, no doubt about it.
The internals, no complain at all , same as the 98C.
First cons, it was very dificult to disassemble. I like to open my marker and clean it, but the triumph has lots of screws. The clean is a little bit harder than the 98C because of the plastics, not too different.
Durability, I´ve never see one externally broke in the last ten months, and the internals you know. It looks durable, the plastic is very good. The only two things I notice that could have problems where the trigger and the tank insert, but I ´ve never experienced one.
Plastic, the big problem with this kind of plastic is in the junctions. You have problems with certains parts of the marker, that with a metal one, you won´t have.
The worst is the barrell insert, with a rougth use, you could have your barrell half screw out in th middle of a big game. But take in account it is a speedball marker, and the games are short. The other one, is the safe is very hard to pull off when the plastic has a litlle movement in the lover junctions.
Performance, it will be something stupid to say that it have better performance that the 98C taking in account the problem with the barrell insert. But extrangely it looks like.
I don´t know if it was because it is lighter or because it has a faster trigger, so you could quickly improbe your shoot, but in a fast game it feels more accurate.
It is big? No, it isn´t big. When you play speedball, you have to see the gun from the front, as is the place of the marker where you usually get shot, and it is not a gun with a big front in spice it looks like.
But the most important thing about the marker, and that it will be a pity that Tippmann don´t reuse, is the excelent design the gun has for the speedball use (for beginners). The marker with the 9oz tank is extremely ligth , to use them continously, up in front of your eyes is very easy. I like to use it more than an Ion or my Defiant2 that are very light and comfortable speedball guns. Everyboy tell me how can I compare this electronic guns with a Triumph XL? I don´t compare them, they are completely different kind of markers, but the feel of using a XL in front of you eyes is wonderfull, even if the response is a lot more slow. I think is really COMFORTABLE to use.
This is the best point of the gun. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I can´t said that i like the triumph XL a lot, but I love to use it in lower and medium level speedball games.
Tippmann has made a lot of good things in the design of the Triumph, and three or four bad ones. Changing the kind of plastic used , they had a really good base to improve into an excellent beginners speedball gun (the people that never use a marker before, love the design), add a good barrel and you had it.
Tippmann owes a good speedball marker to the public. As everyone else, I think he could do it and with the Triumph they show us they have the designers to make it. Is just to put more focus into it.

| Review: |
Well i must say this is a great gun, if you are a begginer! It hardly has any range! I shot my team mate in the head when i was trying trying to shoot at an enimy. The safty is hard to push in and it hurts your finger. However it is very comfortable to shoot. But you cant walk with it either though it has a double triger. To top it all off i would not recomend this gun unless you just want to shoot it in your back yark. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I dont like this gun!!!! :( |
