Pro-LiteMini-Lite
The Pro-Lite is a semi-automatic open bolt marker. It is nearly identical to the Pro-am differing only in the materials used to make the foregrip and pistol grip. The Pro-lite used composite plastic while early Pro-Ams used cast metal foregrips and pistol grips(later Pro-Am models used composite foregrips). The difference in materials made the Pro-Lite considerably lighter than its predecessor. Like the Pro-Am the Pro-lite was designed for durability and is extremely reliable. Paintball Fields commonly used Pro-Lites as rentals because of their ease of maintenance and ability to take extreme abuse. The Mini-Lite is essentially a Pro-lite with an extra CA adpter mounted just behind foregrip. |

| The Tippmann Tippmann Pro-Lite\Mini-Lite is newer, so it should be commonly available, both new and used. |

| Review: |
I was walking at my local swapmeet when i saw this gun. I asked how much The dude said 50 bucks and i gladly paid him. This gun is sweet all it needed was a little oil here and there and viola!!! I have had this gun for about 7-8 months now and have lent it to friends and i also use it as my primary gun. With a different barrel, there is nothing that will stop you from dominating the other team, and with an APEX barrel you'll be all the better!!! I know this gun so well i can strip it down to every nut and bolt, then put it back together in a matter of 10 minutes (it probably helps it is very easy to take apart and clean)!!! Even though this gun is over 10 years old now, it still shoots great, and will easily outlast any gun they make on the marker right now. Although the only thing i don't like is that i burns through tank o-rings like i do a bowl of Cheerio's. Over all, if you got $60 bucks (that is what they are going for as of right now on ebay) and you wanna start paintballing.......do i even need to say it....BUY THIS GUN!!!!!!!!!!! |
|
| Conclusion: |
Buy this gun!! 10/10 |

| Review: |
Not much to say, but it is a classic, unbreakable marker.
Don't throw one away if you have one.
It has great range and accuracy, and there are many small things that contribute to its sound construction.
I'm tired, so i want to fill up the rest of the words in this body paragraph.
Typing is really boring, but i love my gun to death. |
|
| Conclusion: |
If you can find one, get it.
Nuff sed. |

| Review: |
The Tippmann Pro-lite is a very accurate dependable marker. It has nifty looks that are M16 style. This is a Marker you can count on time and time again I use my as my back up and have had tons of fun with it. It is loud so people always look to see what it is.They can be had pretty cheap used on ebay and other forums
|
|
| Conclusion: |
If you want a marker that always goes bang this is the one for you |

Shoots strait and looks cute. Don't fear buying a old one the last foever! blah.
So blah and blah It uses the same barrel threads as the A-5 blah so I think everyone should have one of these around for a friend or to up you game level. |
|
| Conclusion: |
A great gun as a back up or loner. few parts to break and they never do anyway. |

| Review: |
You can beat this gun up. Clean it off and go again! You can tear it down and replace anything you have to in minutes. It's a great beginners gun. It's a great woodsball gun. It's not that heavy with or without the tank on it. I've owned mine for 10+ years and only had to replace small parts... ball detents, o-rings, velocity screw(don't unscrew them too far before you jump off into the woods, you'll NEVER find it). Noobs to our group think I'm crazy with an MR-1 as a backup when we start, later they find out why when I hit them and they don't know where from...... |
|
| Conclusion: |
If you can find one buy it! If you have one and don't want it....... LET ME KNOW! |

| Review: |
I got this gun online for $26. Let me start this off by saying it's the best $26 I've ever spent. While there are some scratches and scuffs on it, it shoots like it's new! I got this gun mainly for a loaner when some of my friends want to play but don't have guns, but I may just let them use my primary and I'll just use this. If you can one for pretty cheap, get it. You won't regret it. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Good gun. I'd recommend this to a friend. Tough as nails. |

| Review: |
this is my first semi auto Tippmann marker. I really like the rifle like feel to it. I think it is even pretty accurate right out of the box with the stock barrel. Great woodsball marker, no so much for speed ball. I found it to be a little on the heavy side but thats part of what makes this feel like a real gun. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Good for anyone to pick up. My only complaint is that its not easy to mod like a spyder. |

My dad bought this gun for 50 dollars and he used it in a few wars, than he gave the gun to me and i used it and i loved it. The gun is very accurate, and i have only had one ball break in the barrel. This is an all over great gun! |
|
| Conclusion: |
If you want to buy a good gun but you dont have that much money, buy this gun! This gun is great and i am glad my dad gave it to me. |

| Review: |
I first used this gun when my '98 broke down on the field some one said why don't you just barrow one of the pro/carbines . now over the years I had come to look down on those who used the carbine . it wasn't fully automatic , it wasn't a mod-out gun what you saw was what you got . Boy was I in for a surprise . the gun came with an after-market barrel . I took it out on the field and played one gane and came back liking the gun some what . the next game was the same way . that day I cut my paint consumption in half and more than doubled my kills .
Now , I maintain the theory that its not the gun , but the person that makes the player , but in this case the gun helped . alot .
Now two years later I'm rolling in with my pro / carbine and the younger players always look down on me and my carbine . That is until the first game . then loathing turns to fear . |
|
| Conclusion: |
its light and easy to use . you almost never get any problems out of the gun and I haven't yet seen this guns equal. buy it |
