Tippmann Turns Electro – The X7 Phenom

Rocking the patented Flex Valve, the latest design of the X7 can now operate in electronic or mechanical mode with a flick of a switch.

This feature is reminiscent of the days of Airguns Designs, a feature found on the E-Mag. It was definitely one of the aspects that set apart the E-Mag when it first came out in 2000. It drew in players that wanted a dependable marker. You essentially have two guns in one, so if the electronics fail or battery dies you can switch to mechanical. Every woods and scenario player can understand the importance of this feature. After all, you never know how long a game is going to last, and no one wants to call themselves out because of a dead battery.

See it in Action

The X7 Phenom is very compact, easy to operate, maintain, and extremely versatile. With all of the upgrade options out there for Tippmann paintball guns, outgrowing the Phenom as a player is virtually impossible. Simply put, you will only outgrow this marker if you lose interest in woodsball.

The Phenom retails for $399, a hundred or so more than the original X7. What you get with the Phenom however is the new Flex Valve, which gives you the benefits of an electro and mechanical paintball gun all in one, and not to mention, the durability of a Tippmann.

Best Woodsball Paintball Marker

In my opinion, if woodsball is what you are solely into playing, and you don't care if your paintball marker is not considered a "speedball marker," then the best paintball gun you could get is the Tippmann X-7.

I wrote a post comparing speedball and woodsball paintball markers against each other, and basically what I said in it was that I don't care what marker I use for speedball or woodsball. All that should matter is that you are happy playing with your marker of choice. I mean that is what free choice is all about. Who cares what category it is classified under, pump players often go head to head against high end electronic paintball markers, and do they care? No, they play paintball for fun, and when your in it for fun you shoot whatever paintball marker you want.

With that said here's a paintball player that feels the same, a paintballer that defied the social rules of speedball by bringing a "woodsball" marker onto a speedball field. His paintball gun of choice is a fully modded Tippmann X-7; a highly customizable paintball gun you can customize to cater to your specific wants.
