Expansion chambers allow the liquid co2 in your tank to expand into a gas before it enters your gun. Ensure long lasting interal o-rings and seals, say good-bye to drop drop off in cold weather, velocity spikes in hot weather, while at the same time improving your paintball gun's efficiency!

The Tippmann Expansion Chamber is a very inexpensive upgrade. Not only does it let you fire more shots out of your airtank, but it also makes for a more comfortable foregrip. The expansion chamber works by allowing the CO2 liquid from your tank to completely turn to gas before entering your gun, which improves your velocity consistency, and uses your CO2 more efficiently, so you get more shots for the buck. Great upgrade for new players who have a Tippmann but don't want to spend too much on upgrading it. This really helps all season long, especially in the colder playing months.
Weaknesses:
No faults, it's from the Tippmeisters!
Conclusion:
A cheap $50 (average) upgrade for your marker, which will bring noticeable improvements starting with the first shot.

Immediately I saw an improvement in consistency in my shots. I get more shots out of my tank of CO2. And it is thicker around so my hand fits around it really well.
Weaknesses:
Well it's not the prettiest thing to look at but hey the performance is awesome.
Conclusion:
I got one for my Piranha STS G2 and besides my barrel this is the best thing I could have gotten for my gun. This is sooo much better than the crappy gas-thru foregrip.
You would be a fool not to get this upgrade for your Tippmann M98. For the price, it's an awesome deal. The Expansion Chamber is a simple upgrade, easily installed, but improves your M98 greatly. Nice sized for a replacement of the lower half of the foregrip. Shots are really consistent.
Weaknesses:
Nothing, absolutely nothing. This is the best upgrade you can get for your M98.
Conclusion:
If you're on CO2 and you don't have this expansion chamber for your M98, you are either really dumb or ignorant. It makes your shots so much better. You won't regret getting this for your M98.
this expansion chamber is a relatively inexpensive upgrade that makes a noticable improvement to CO2 use. I can get close to 2000 shots out of a 20 oz. where as before I was getting between 1200 to 1500 depending on temp.
It works well for a foregrip
It has eleminated blowing ice out my bolt during rapid fire
It helps improve accuracy due to consistant pressure
Weaknesses:
It adds weight to the front of my 98 making it more difficult to shoot one handed with an extended arm.
Conclusion:
Expansion chambers are in my opinion the cheepest upgrade you can get to improve your gun. This is an inexpensive product that works well and is good enough for Tippmann to put thier name on it.
Another great product from T.P.I. This chamber is a must for any outdoor player and works great to consistantly increase efficientcy of velocity, accuracy, and distance, untill the last shot. The Expansion chamber also prevents liquid co2 from entering you marker while looking great, and acting as a comfortable foregrip.
Weaknesses:
I can truly not find a fault with this fine product, but that can be expected considering it's made by T.P.I.
Conclusion:
If you don't have one....i highly suggest you get one! Like i said, it's a big upgrade for a small amount of money you get everything above and the long last durability of TIPPMANN.
