The tippmann 98 stock.
For the price, you are really just getting an alpha black with a stock and shroud for $50 dollars more. I would just buy the alpha black with fully automatic Egrip, which the salvo does not have, and save $10.
No, the stock bolt is just the Cure 1 bolt.
The tactical edition has a 4 point butt stock and an 11 inch barrel and, M4- style barrel shroud. Otherwise it has no stock and a stock 8 inch Tippmann barrel.
A used stock Tippman is worth around $80-$100
Air is the source of power for the paintball marker. It is the pressure that moves all of the internal parts (unless electrical) and physically moves the paintball out of the barrel.
Its simply the 98 with a shroud and stock. For a beginner marker it is very durable marker. but compared to most $200 and $300 dollar guns it is not "good"
The stock barrel is 11 inches. The receiver is nearly 12 and 1/2 inches long (including butt-cap). the butt-stock is also about 11 inches fully extended. That makes the gun 34-38 inches long, depending on stock lenght.
They are internally exactly the same. It is weather you like the M16 look or not. Also If you get the tactical, you should buy a remote line so you can use the stock.
Disassemble the gun, and replace the back cap with the stock or take it to a paintball store, and ask them to.
At a certain level of paintball markers, the accuracy of the gun itself becomes irrelevant. As soon as you have a clean marker, with an good valve and regulator, the accuracy becomes completely dependent on the paint and barrel match quality. Basically any marker over $500 or so will all have the same stock accuracy.
I believe that they are a private company.
The T-storm is a low quality paintball marker that can be found at most retail stores (walmart) for around $40. It will shoot a paintball when you pull the trigger, and that is about all that can be said. It has exceptionally poor air consistency as well as having a habit of breaking in a matter of months. It is not recommended to buy this marker unless you only plan on playing once or twice.
