[..YouTube..] the tpx is such a badass pistol!!!
December 21, 2009
[..YouTube..] Tiberius Arms T8.1 or Tippman TPX? What do you choose? I like the Tiberius better.
December 21, 2009
[..YouTube..] @warman0712 hands down, the TIberius 8.1. The T8.1 is a tried and true pistol that has been perfected from the T8, which has been out much longer than the TPX. The TPX is only 1st gen, maybe the next upgrade will put it alongside the TIberius models.

[..YouTube..] What kind of paint were you using? Any breaks?
December 21, 2009
[..YouTube..] @wcpclan We were using Diablo Heat paint. It was around -2 outside. We did not get any breaks on camera, but some test shoots before the video, we had 1 or 2 breaks.
December 21, 2009
[..YouTube..] Personally i think the TPX looks way better then he tiberius 8.1. But the first strike rounds won me over.
December 23, 2009
[..YouTube..] Does the t8.1 have better accuracy than the tpx?
December 23, 2009
[..YouTube..] @limsam68 yes, much more. The Tiberius 8.1 is also a lot more consistent with Co2 as well which also lends to the accuracy at times!
December 23, 2009
[..YouTube..] well in ur opinion, which one is better? TPX or 8.1?
December 23, 2009
[..YouTube..] @vn01208503 the Tiberius 8.1 for sure. It’s years ahead of the TPX!
December 23, 2009
[..YouTube..] i think the magazines for the tiberius are just fucking idiotic design, tpx has better design, makes magazines affordable and lighter.
December 23, 2009
[..YouTube..] @FRIZZBI07 the TPX magazines are a poor design and are a nightmare to disassemble. The TPX mags were designed as a low cost magazine and nothing more.

[..YouTube..] Good video, guys! Really interested in this, but I think I’ll go the way of the 9.1 considering that it’s “upgradable”.The only thing I’d recommend you guys do is practice a tiny bit before you talk. “Ahhs” and “uhhms” will make viewers lose interest very fast. Of course, a lot of people (like myself) will still watch, but it truly does deter some.I’m subscribing; I look forward to future videos!

[..YouTube..] finally, an honest TPX review…
January 2, 2010
[..YouTube..] i have tpx and its great i prob wouldn’t buy the t8 because its not worth the money
January 3, 2010
[..YouTube..] @walmartjames the T8 and T8.1 are significantly less expensive than the TPX.
January 3, 2010
[..YouTube..] all i know is that you can not compare the t8.1 with the tpx they fire different paintballs.
January 3, 2010
[..YouTube..] @walmartjames both TPX and T8.1 fire regular paintballs. The T8.1 also fires FS rounds.
January 4, 2010
[..YouTube..] Great review. A honest review of the TPX. It’s a good effort by Tippmann but it falls short of the standard set by Tiberius. The TPX needs better mags, better construction, and some refinement inside to be a good pistol. Right now it’s just not cutting it. Subscribing.
January 4, 2010
[..YouTube..] @PvtDBJackson 100% right. It’s a nice pistol, but it’s just not there yet. We have been in contact with Tippmann about the pistol and they are looking to redesign the magazines for better disassembly and usability. For a mag fed gun, the mags should be the best designed part, not the worst. I’m sure we all look forward to seeing improvements!
January 12, 2010
[..YouTube..] Comparing the Tpx and the Tiberius 8.1wich one has the most fps on a 12 oz Co2?
January 14, 2010
[..YouTube..] I’ve heard of people having chopping issues with their TPX, but mine has been fine. I think you should have outlined more pros, such as the mags being much more affordable. Another thing to mention is that just because the TPX is made of plastic doesn’t mean it isn’t sturdy, it’s far from cheap plastic. Also, if you can change a T8 mag in a fire fight, swapping a Co2 in a TPX is just as easy. Just my opinion of course, but I think its worth noting for those who are trying to get all the details.
January 25, 2010
[..YouTube..] “significantly”? They seem to range from $40 less, to $40 more, (and I’ve yet to find a retailer selling them that much cheaper that looks like one I would trust.)Plus doesn’t the TPX come with 2 mags to the T8’s 1? And spare TPX mags are about 4 for the price of a T8 mag? You add that spare mag to the T8, and you’re right back up there with the TPX price, even with the cheap deals. (I’m still more of a fan of the Tibs, just hard to swallow the price to get one for myself.)
January 25, 2010
[..YouTube..] What do you have against the plastic? Is it a lesser grade than what they used in the old Triumph? It was an ugly marker, but I abused mine and that plastic took everything I had to throw at it with barely scuff marks, where as a metal body would have had all the paint chipped off and looked like something I pulled from the trash. I tried modding one, and the estimated 20 min of work turned to several hours with a set of files. Plastic doesn’t rust, and can absorb shocks from dropping it.
January 25, 2010
[..YouTube..] @Talroth currently in Canada, the T8.1 sells for $229 w/1 mag at most retail stores, and the TPX sells for $279 w/2 mags. You can get the T8.1 players pack for $289 and it comes with 2 mags, a mag holster and a pistol holster, so either way you’re getting a better deal with the T8.1. The T8.1 mags are more expensive because they are more durable, have valving built-in, waaay easier to disassemble and they also have FS round capabilities. The T8.1 mags are worth the extra cost for quality.

[..YouTube..] Paint breakage? Regulator Pressure Relief Valve Adjustment. Page 16 in the manual, check it out. Takes about 2 minutes to do and will fix that problem, as long as everything else is in working condition. Also avoid brittle paint, enough said.
February 13, 2010
[..YouTube..] @PurpleChris7, no, the chopping from this gun has nothing to do with the relief valve. It is an issue with the breach. Avoiding brittle paint is not an option, most fields do not allow users to bring their own paint, so you have to use whatever the field gives you.
February 14, 2010
[..YouTube..] Talk with Tippmann then, they can set you straight. If it’s an actual problem with the gun, they should send replacement parts.
February 14, 2010
[..YouTube..] We already have, which is why we know the causes of these issues. Markers should not have to be fixed the moment you buy them, they should work right away. It’s not something we need help with, we are letting everyone else know these issues.
February 17, 2010
[..YouTube..] The Tiberius 8.1 gets more shots per-Co2 than the TPX does.
February 20, 2010
[..YouTube..] heres what i don’t understand the Tiberius 8 is soo much better then the tpx and the tpx is probably the shitiest constructed gun ever in terms of quality ,and its still more expensive then the t8. I have shot the tpx before and i must say it is extremely inaccurate just as the a5 is, the t8 on the other hand is beautiful its accurate its durable and its well constructed not to mension it performs amazing as a primary weapon.
February 20, 2010
[..YouTube..] @TacticalNightmare92 The TPX was basically made to get a piece of the action that Tiberius is getting with the pistol line-up. The Tiberius pistols have been around for a while so they have been improved and perfected, whereas the TPX is still only the 1st gen and has a lot of issues still to deal with along with accuracy and consistency.
March 5, 2010
[..YouTube..] First off i don’t know how u can even begin to say that its not that accurate. It has a built in reg. My TPX sends the rounds right where i point the iron sights. Plus ive used mine in numorus games and have never chopped paint. Bad review didn’t mention hardly any pros about it. and btw complaints about plastic quality??? thats just BS
March 5, 2010
[..YouTube..] Oh and i dont know whether its just me but it seems like u and ur boyfriend are byast against the TPX in favor of Tiberius
March 5, 2010
[..YouTube..] @MrXXcRiSxX wow, you’re really bent out of shape that your favourite pistol didn’t get a good review by someone. Liking the Tiberius pistols better is not being biased, it’s just the fact that they are better than the TPX. Relax and realize that just because you like something doesn’t make it good.
