These kits sound good, but I'll wait until after everyone has had a chance to "break them in" before I'll even consider getting one. QFT |

These kits sound good, but I'll wait until after everyone has had a chance to "break them in" before I'll even consider getting one. That being said, it's really nice of RAP to keep people updated on the status of the kits  They asked on the X7 board if anyone was interested, and we were told that the Admin would likely be getting one for evaluation. All we heard were the crickets getting cold. I have a Milsig, and am very happy with it. Good luck to those who get their RAP kits to work. Milsig.... brought Me to the Game.  ;D Personally, I have always hated the look of hoppers. So much that, they're the reason I never bothered with paintball in my youth.  The 1st. marker I paid for was a Milsig CQB /10 mags. The local store took their sweet time (after I paid ) to get it for me . Instead of wasting all summer waiting ...I turned to Tippmann. Picked up a Carver / TPX / X7P before the CQB arrived. So, when the kits were announced........I jumped on them. Got 2 for $118 (fingers crossed) BTW...Priest....Thanks.....Because of You & your DSG. I found MCB... |

I hope these mags will not be converted to use FS. I like being the only play out on the field with them.

While the Conversion kits are FirstStrike ready, the standard magwell is not .
It's designed to be used with Rap4/Milsig mags.
To use FirstStikes, you will need to get some D-mags and an adapter plate.

To be honest, you cant really expect a monopoly on something that works as well as firststrikes, eventually well see a lot of different mods i reckon.

Well ofcourse you can since FS are patented. That being said i do believe that anyone who seriously want to use FS will still use Tiberius markers since these are build FOR the FS. I think the tacamo conversion kits might be good for people who want to play mag, want to try out FS or people that ain't got the money to change marker. I don't think any non tibby marker will have same preformance with FS however (i might be wrong  . |

I said it before (I believe it was on this forum) and I will say it again.
FS rounds are all about accuracy and you will not get the same air consistency from a blowback (BB) marker as you will from a blowforward (BF) marker. Tiberius was right in making their markers bf because of the air consistency factor because on top of the type of paint you use (in this case FS) air consistency is another huge factor in accuracy

@ SkullCandy
{Once everything finally gets here.}
We can test the difference, between the Phenom and the Carver(98) internals.
If you want to?
BTW ......If you need a new project?
....Want a FirstStrike Mag ...for my Empire (BT) Trracer.
(Tired of waiting for Simon)

July 1st update www.rap4.com/tacamo-magazine-shipping-dates-a-368.htmlFrom the Rap4 site. Real Action Paintball and Tacamo are proud to announce shipment of our hot new Mag Fed Conversion Kit for Tippmann and BT Paintball markers! We have crews working around the clock to satisfy the outstanding demand for these new game change kits. Each week this month we'll have a new, exciting Mag Fed Conversion Kit to ship to players around the world. Shipping this first week of July are the Mag Fed Conversion Kit For Tippmann Phenom! To use them, simply disassemble your Phenom and follow the enclosed instructions to reassemble the parts inside the Mag Fed Conversion Kit. By using most of the original parts, you retain the reliability, function, and other characteristics of your tactical marker. By using the Mag Fed Conversion Kit, you gain the look, balance, and accessory rails that truly make your marker as real as it gets. The Mag Fed Conversion Kit gets that hopper out of your field of vision, and off of your marker completely for the most realistic look and balance in paintball. Interchangeable magazines feed your marker a stack of paint under constant pressure to eliminate chopping and ensure that a ball is there, in the chamber and ready, right when you need it...regardless of the angle of your marker or whether you shake it or not. Add force-feed, and hyper-realistic looks and function to your marker with the Mag Fed Conversion Kit! Shipping the first week of July: Tippmann Phenom Mag Fed Kits Shipping the second week of July: Tippmann Model 98 and BT variant Mag Fed Kits Shipping the third week of July: Tippmann A5 Mag Fed Kits Shipping the fourth week of July: Tippmann X7 Mag Fed Kits |
