T8 or TPX???????

Vegas Ninja · Senior Member

ANy thoughts? anyone on here ever own/use a tpx???

Wud up son · Senior Member

i like the t8 lol and are you sure the TPX is 50??
i yhought it was like 65 or sumthin

Pete · Administrator

They're all .68 cal well the TPX is nice cause you can load the CO2 in whenever then when your ready you pull the trigger and it punctures the co2 unlike the Tiberius, if you leave it in there the air leaks out a bit.

Wud up son · Senior Member

o gotcha idk i wanna shoot the TPX now

Vegas Ninja · Senior Member

Ya I knew that about tpxs and the air thing. BUt thats a fail for some reason I assumed it was .50 cal probably cause it was such small mags.

Vegas Ninja · Senior Member

ok ya I will do the trade it has the upgrade it as well. So I will have the upgrade tpx and the t8.1 and can compare.

Then you'll have to get one of these packs just to be a BAMF.... lol

That is a secret! haha no it was way easy. I took the plasic rail they send with the gun, cut it so just the rail is there and sanded it down flush and bough some 1 min epoxy from walmart/home depot and stuck that bad boy on there. Remember if it's cold it takes the epoxy a while longer to dry.

lol if that doesn't make sense i can draw a quick diagram for ya.

Vegas Ninja · Senior Member

so tpx or t8 which do you guys think is better.

roger · Senior Member

t8 is better, when we played bob long he and i went head to head a few times, i was hit and called paint check. the size of splatter was less than a quarter so ref let me stay in. bob long switched to a different marker after that game

Vegas Ninja · Senior Member

Was he using a tpx??

roger · Senior Member

sorry i was wrong , bob long was not using a tpx. but he was using a 50 cal

Vegas Ninja · Senior Member

tpx is .68

Thanks Roger for letting me shot that bad boy,now I need to try the TPX and compare the two.

Vegas Ninja · Senior Member

Ya I am going to be doing a test and just get the tpx.

Pete · Administrator

The only reason to have a pistol is to shoot first strike, and only the T8.1 can do that.

Vegas Ninja · Senior Member

hmmm.... I will have to test that.

But for me it would be defend myself it I need to switch mags with my rap4 or refill a mag.

tpx + 6 mags

Vegas Ninja · Senior Member

Ya I saw that but Im trading my t8 w/ 2 mags for a tpx w/ 4 mags and up grade kit.

MTNMAN · Newbie

I have both a TPX and a TAC8. I like the TPX better. It is a little lighter. The grip is not as fat, feels like a .45. And the mags are a HELL OF A LOT CHEAPER. Pluss, I like the fact that the co2 doesn't get punctured until you actually need it.
This alows me to keep one in the house for personal defense loaded with pepper balls. And I know the seals will be good when it's needed.

Besides the fact that you can use First Strike round in the T8.1, the TPX blows the T8 out of the water.
