The most customizable paintball marker ever made--with 1,000 possible looks and a host of key performance features--the Tippmann X-7 is a must for serious paintballers. The X-7 is distinguished by its patented inline bolt system, which improves firing consistency and is more reliable than stacked bolt systems, along with its Cyclone EP (Enhanced Performance) feeder system, which feeds up to 20 balls per second (BPS). The magnesium alloy body, meanwhile, is 20 percent lighter than most other materials, making the X-7 far easier to wield in a tight situation. And thanks to the marker's air-thru, stock-compatible system, there's no need for a gas line underneath. The X-7's highlight feature, however, is its versatility, with such features as a modular shroud with four rails for adding on sights and scopes; a Picatinny top rail that lets you easily add new risers, sights, or handles; and a push-pin design that makes it easy to field strip the marker and add accessories. The external mode X7 also comes with an e-Grip trigger system that can shoot up to 20 BPS and be programmed to fire up to 30 BPS. The e-Grip's five firing modes include semiautomatic (which meets the regulations of any organized field event), turbo, three-shot safety burst, auto response, and full safety auto. Paintballers will also dig the weatherproof system, which is great for woodsball play. Best of all, it's a breeze to change e-Grip modes on the fly. Other details include a low-profile offset hopper that offers a clear sight line; an AR15-style magazine with built-in tool storage; an adjustable rear site that helps with long-range aiming; and such bundled extras as a maintenance pack, barrel sleeve, and gun oil container
