Tippman as done it again with their new Stormer modular paintball gun. Everyone knows that
Tippman specialises in creating high quality, reliable and affordable paintball guns for entry
level and intermediate players. With the Stormer, Tippman have upped their game to the
next level. The Stormer is a fully modular, dual feed blow back paintball gun that offers you
all the options that you could want for a day of playing paintball with your friends. There are
three levels of Stormer paintball guns, so let’s start with the basics first that they all have in
common. First and foremost, they all use Tippman’s tried and true in line blow back design,
so you can have absolute faith that it will be reliable and easy to maintain. All Stormers have a
high-impact composite body, internal gas lines, multiple picatinny rails, a vertical grip, bottom
mounted ASA, a single trigger and an offset feed port. The offset feedport is important as
this allows you to put sights and scopes on your gun without the loader getting into your
line of vision. They are all 68 caliber as well. Now the three levels of Stormer are as follows…
the basic, the tactical and the elite. The basic Stormer is exactly that. Everything you need to
get out and play without being flashy. It swings fast. It’s light, it’s compact and it gets the job
done. I prefer to think of it as less basic and more of a minimalist option.
