Review on 🔫 T4E TPM1 .43 Caliber Training Paintball Pistol Marker by Darrin Parasson

-Disclaimer: I purchased and use this in an entertainment setting. This review may contain useful information for training, but it is ultimately written for people planning to use it for recreational purposes. Overall: If realism is the most important aspect of a paintball gun, then this is by far the best option. However, there is currently no perfect paintball gun. With realism comes mistakes. The main downside is that it's a 43 caliber which is a very odd color sizing and will likely need to be ordered online. The second biggest drawback is the log script. The magazines are solely responsible for actually firing the projectile, unlike any other handgun where magazines simply store the paintball. So the chamber and everything related to pressure and o-rings are included in the bearing. That makes her fragile. This frustrates me as I tend to be rough on my mags and just toss them on the ground when reloading. And they are very expensive. over $40 each (at the time of writing) for a single eight-round magazine. For comparison, Dye DAM magazines (each containing 20 rounds) are about $30 for two. The last and for me the most unimportant minus is that the speed is well over 300 FPS with a fresh 12 grams. It doesn't matter because a .43 is so much smaller than a regular paintball that the actual impact energy at around 350 fps is much less than a .68 paintball at 300 fps. However, your mileage may vary depending on whether your field allows it. I would check with your local field to make sure everything is ok before purchasing. Another way to get around this problem is to dry fire the first five shots with a new 12 gram cartridge to slightly reduce the pressure and lower the velocity to the field limits. All in all I like this gun. It feels very solid. It feels, looks and even works very much like a real Glock. Incredibly fun shooting. The recoil is enough that you can quickly miss your shots if you don't have a good grip. I love that it works with Glock 17 holsters and gives you a lot more holster options than most other paintball guns on the market. In general, this pistol is much better suited to the role of a secondary than a primary. Magazines are too expensive and fragile to sell in sufficient quantities. The effective range is significantly lower than other paintball guns. He is self-sufficient, which is very nice. And secondly, for convenience reasons alone, it's good that petrol and paint are together in a separate package. I'll be adding more to this review over the week, as well as a close-up image of a bruise, side-by-side with a real Glock 17.
