I have owned a TM Recoil Shock, I have messed around with several Tippmans.
TM:
-Shoots quite accurately and is nice in stock form
-Stops on empty
-External finish doesn't look too rugged, but attention to detail is good
-Recoil isn't great, far less than other electric recoil engines on the market
-The 416 I had ran on proprietary 8.4v batteries, but it ran well on those batteries
-Fairly low FPS, costs a lot of money to increase the FPS because TM internals are extremely soft and only last on low FPS springs
Tippman:
-Basically a 98 inside an AR body
-Accuracy is as good as your barrel group, shoots okay stock
-Dumbest trigger ever made
-Recoil feels stupid, gun moves forward instead of backward
-Recoil spring setup feels like a door stopper twang every time you shoot
-Probably the worst CO2 design in existence - The gun is the puncture valve, so you have to slap the mag in to puncture and fire. When you remove the mag, all the remaining CO2 sprays out.
There are some things I like about the TM Next Gen AEGs, there are some things I don't like about them. There is nothing I like about the Tippman.
