[..YouTube..] I dont understand. How cold you have found such a GREAT price but it still says that the Elite is worth $629.99 at badlands?
December 6, 2009
[..YouTube..] I would LOVE to see a 9.1, man would that be awesome!
December 6, 2009
[..YouTube..] Their site has not been update recently, if you call a Badlands they will give you the new price for the Tiberius stuff. Mind you, the price of the Elite was on a sale day, so you could expect that price again for the Badlands Boxing Day sale!
December 6, 2009
[..YouTube..] I REALLY hope that if there is a T9.1 I hope it can use Lapco barrels, unlike the 8.1.
December 6, 2009
[..YouTube..] And thanks for the Badlands help. It’s nice knowing there is someone else in Canada. Not many I know of.
December 6, 2009
[..YouTube..] It’s actually 100% unlikely that the T9.1 will use the current Lapco barrels, the new Tiberius 8.1 barrel will definitely be adopted to the T9.1 and have an extended length for the rifle. No worries, though, Lapco will make new barrels for the 8.1 and 9.1 fairly quickly!I’m glad we could help, I know how it is, it’s nice to know people from Canada!
December 6, 2009
[..YouTube..] Can you PLEASE do a review and dis-assembly on the T9?
December 6, 2009
[..YouTube..] Yup, we’re hoping to get a hold of a T9 soon so we can do just that!
December 7, 2009
[..YouTube..] Thanks. Im going through all your vids. I’m on the last 2. I rated almost all of them.
December 8, 2009
So much easier to disassembly than the T8 i think! I should trade mine in!
December 8, 2009
You can’t “trade in” a paintball gun. You can buy a new one, but since you can get them for $195 on sale it’s not that much of a set back really.
December 10, 2009
[..YouTube..] Nice work I have been looking for info on the tac 8.1and the new mags too. love your videoshey how about a shoot test, or a review of how it shoots, just wondering if its a bitch on paint like my tpx, because if it is I am for sure not buying one..ya accuracy distance, paint breakage. hopefully its not picky on paint.. like the tpxthanks look forward to seeing it.
December 10, 2009
[..YouTube..] Hi, we will be doing a shoot test hopefully this weekend! Although, I can tell you right now, that the Tiberius line is not hard on paint at all. The only times I’ve had breaks is when the paint is really badly made. I’ve personally owned 3 T8s and 1 T8.1 and I’ve only had about 10 breaks in total in all the guns over 2 years!
December 12, 2009
Guys don’t buy it from badlands…their prices are OUTRAGEOUS!!! How dare they make the T9 Ranger ST almost 500 bucks when if you buy it in the US and you take into account the exchange it only comes down to 320 bucks CAN (if you get a friend to take it over the border/family member)…And customs plus shipping will still make it tops 400 depending on what sort of shipping. The badlands price is about 449.99 plus taxes: $508 (which is not worth this rifle).
The only reasonable price they have *sort of* is the old T8 which went down to 200 bucks. Regardless…buying a T8.1 from the US gives you the price of the T8 that badlands sells the original T8 which is about $199.99.
I suppose the only thing you are paying for extra is the service in badlands…but you can still get the gun serviced it has a warranty etc. Is it really necessary to get ripped off at badlands or is it better to be more patient and get it from the US?
I am aware that badlands is having a boxing day sale…if they indeed make the price of the Ranger for example, to 349.99 (100 bucks off) that would be much more worth it.
December 12, 2009
Actually, the price of all the T9s and T8s at Badlands have been lowered quite a bit, they just haven’t been updated on their website yet. At the last badlands sale, I personally saw a T9 Elite selling for $350!
Give your local Badlands a call and ask them the current prices for the T9 series of Tiberius guns!
December 12, 2009
I called them about 1 hour ago…prices are back up for the Ranger…its 449.99. I have no clue how you were able to see the Elite especially at badlands for 350…cause i would buy it for that much. They sell it for 620 now…which is absolutely ridiculous.
December 12, 2009
Shit I was wrong!!! I just called a different badlands: basically the T9 line of rifles are all on sale lower at a walk in price. The Elite is 449.99 and the ranger is 349.99.
December 12, 2009
That’s awesome, I’m glad you found out info about the pricing, definitely a sweet deal!
January 13, 2010
[..YouTube..] Hey mate what size paint does it go by? thx
January 15, 2010
[..YouTube..] @souljaboyupindat good question. The Tiberius 8.1 can use any paint size without any issues at all. But I’m thinking that the gun was sized for First Strike rounds because they are a little bit bigger than regular paintballs. So the barrel may be closer to .69 than .68
January 18, 2010
[..YouTube..] Aiight mate thanks heaps. hoping to get one next week thx 2 u guys…
January 18, 2010
[..YouTube..] @souljaboyupindat hey no problem, you’ll have a ton of fun when you get it. You’ll probably notice that you’ll use it more than your primary!
January 19, 2010
[..YouTube..] haha awesome. Im lookin forward 2 it. Just one thing though i cant find a website/shop that sells the 8.1 mags in canada.. do u know of any?
February 11, 2010
Finding this video literally brought tears to my eyes.
i exploded paint in my tib 8.1 last night and was furious.
now i can clean and pwn noobs once again.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
February 27, 2010
[..YouTube..] If u guys could make a Tiberius T8 maintnance video that would really be helpfull
March 9, 2010
[..YouTube..] @ModernIntel I just got my t8.1 and i put in the co2 and i loaded the magazine and im trying to put the mag in but it just wont go in what am i doing wrong?
March 9, 2010
[..YouTube..] @eddy151095 check to make sure that your barrel is locked in correctly by pushing and turning it. Sometimes when a brand new Tiberius marker is used, you have to give the mags a little bit of force to get into the marker. Does the mag go into the marker without co2?
March 9, 2010
[..YouTube..] @ModernIntel the mag goes in without the co2 but not with the co2
March 9, 2010
[..YouTube..] how much force are you putting on the mags with co2?
March 9, 2010
[..YouTube..] @ModernIntel force on what the co2 or puting the mag in?
March 9, 2010
[..YouTube..] @ModernIntel what was your question, how much force am i putting when im cranking in the co2 or the force im using to insert the mag?
March 9, 2010
[..YouTube..] lol nice video, i was planning on buying a tiberius 8 pistol, but from looking at this video, it looks like a pain in the ass to clean if your gun gets shot or you chop paint. any suggestions on other markers?
March 10, 2010
[..YouTube..] it’s really not that hard at all. the Tiberius markers hardly ever shop and it’s such a small target that it barely gets hit with paint. As far as pistols go, I wouldn’t recommend anything else to you.
March 13, 2010
[..YouTube..] what’s the main difference between the t 8 and the t 8.1?
March 13, 2010
[..YouTube..] @tababoytedge new barrel, new detents, batter balanced, remote line directly into the marker and first strike ready right out of the box.
March 20, 2010
[..YouTube..] lol thanks for the respond, lol in your tiberius 8.1 review comment box (i don’t rememebr if it was tiberius 8 or 8.1 but whatever) you said that you use this as a main gun, how far (by feet) would you say this would this gun be very effective
March 20, 2010
[..YouTube..] @SushiPride I usually use it up to 100 feet, 150 is max for me. Since you’re running a pistol, you’re usually lighter and can move around a lot more so you should be able to get closer to the opponents.
April 4, 2010
[..YouTube..] i tried taking the back block out to get to the bolt, but the damn thing unscrews all the way, but than it just doesn’t pop out, and i tried for a little to pull it out but the thing won’t budge. I’ll give it another try later on, but the first time I did, the thing just wouldn’t move.
April 4, 2010
[..YouTube..] @NightStrike91 are you talking about the T8 or T8.1, because the T8.1 does not have a back block. We have a disassembly video for the T8.
April 4, 2010
[..YouTube..] @ModernIntel sorry, i was talking about the 8.1. And by backblock I meant the disk looking thing in the back of the 8.1 that just pops right out once unscrewed. well, at least it does for you and is supposed to. For me, it doesn’t come out even when i use force.
April 4, 2010
[..YouTube..] @NightStrike91 hmmm, it’s possible that the “disk” is still attached to the bolt. Try to unscrew it all the way and then put your finger in the magazine breach and push the bolt towards the back of the gun. You will probably get the entire bolt assembly to come out in 1 piece that way.
April 4, 2010
[..YouTube..] @ModernIntel Thank you, I will try just that tomorrow when I take the gun apart again. Don’t feel like doing it now. lol. But I appreciate the help a lot, and thank you for posting these videos! Love the work you guys do.
April 4, 2010
[..YouTube..] @NightStrike91 no problem! Feel free to post up any video requests you’d like to see!
April 5, 2010
[..YouTube..] hey guys, i did what you told me to do on my t8.1 regarding the back disk thing, and it worked perfectly. but now i am having other issues… i gas up my gun and the thing is not airing up… like the gun doesn’t get aired up, and it won’t fire. i dissasembled the mag and lubed up some stuff, but i have yet to do so to the gun… i just took it apart last night… any ideas what might be happening now?
April 5, 2010
[..YouTube..] @NightStrike91 did you make sure to push the bolt forward again before reinstalling your trigger sear?
April 5, 2010
[..YouTube..] thank you very much again guys, Modernintel saves my dumbass yet again. =D lol
April 16, 2010
[..YouTube..] great vid thx, i took mine apart like in your video, but i had 2 very very small o-rings fall out from somewhere when between the regulator part and the body part. and im not sure where they go. very tiny. and i cant find them in my manual, for some reason the picture in my manual where i think they go is not an accurate picture of the regulator…. 2nd picture on page 5 of the manual…. my part looks different than that…. anyways do you have any idea where they would go ?
April 17, 2010
[..YouTube..] just want to say thanks for this.
April 17, 2010
[..YouTube..] @lazydan12, it’s possible it was an o-ring between the regulator and upper receiver.
April 23, 2010
[..YouTube..] I got a question, whats the differnce between the T8.1 and T9.1? Can the T8.1 be made into rifle form or no?
April 23, 2010
[..YouTube..] @Hexisu no the T8.1 cannot be made into a rifle. Also, the T9.1 can attach a hopper along with a 13CI tank-in-stock.
May 2, 2010
[..YouTube..] This video was so helpful! The only thing that happened differant was the whole bolt came out with the rear stopper thing when I unscrewed it.
June 11, 2010
[..YouTube..] @souljaboyupindat try Milsig paintball. theyre from canada. and shipping takes about a week.
June 14, 2010
[..YouTube..] The bolt on mine won’t come out. None of my Allen keys fit and in the Manual it says not to take it out because the factory installed it and I cannot be reinstalled once it’s out
June 14, 2010
[..YouTube..] what the hell!! ive done this 4 times now and everytime when i gas if up all the co2 leaks out! i did everything, step by step and yes i pushed the bolt forward. now because of this video i have a gun that doesnt work and used 8 co2 caplsuls. im really stressed out please help me out
