Virtue Tippmann A5 Egrip Board

We've been waiting for this release from Virtue Paintball for some time and we're proud to annouce its arrival. The Virtue Tippmann A5 Egrip Board is a direct replacement for any Tippmann A5 Egrip-equipped paintball marker. The A5 Board features many of the standard features that has taken Virtue to the height of tournament level success over recent years. There is one catch though... it has been redefined to offer more modes, greater performance and more ease of use.


The Virtue A5 board eliminates the need for tools when programming your A5 marker. The microswitch is very light, offering one of the most sensitive switch activations in paintball today. Included are 10 modes of fire - Semi Auto, PSP Mode, NXL Mode, Millennium Mode, Auto Response, Full Auto, Breakout Mode, Ramp Mode, and Select-A-Mod and Training Mode. The 10 minute 'idle-off' saves battery power when not in use and the 'instant-on' allows the marker to function instantly upon activation. Battery life is rated at a mind-blowing 200,000 shots. Unlike some boards on the market, your personal settings will be stored even if the battery should die during use. The 'factory reset option' allows you to reset the factory default settings instantly.

The adjustability of the Virtue A5 Board is almost infinite. You can program the board to cater to your specific personal preferences and playing style. The board replaces the factory Tippmann Egrip board (WAS board). It can not be used as a replacement for the Tippmann A5 HE Selector Switch Egrip. The New A5 Virtue Board retails for $104.99.

The new models include the M-16 Snaggletooth, the Battlestikxx and the Bangstikxx muzzles. Now you can mix and match muzzles to give your Hammerhead barrel a custom look.

Tippmann TPX Paintball Pistol

The world is patiently awaiting the release of Tippmann's first paintball pistol: The Tippmann TPX. The TPX was engineered to incorporate the best features of some of paintball's best pistols with a few innovative attributes of its own.

The first feature is the overall size. The over-sized futuristic style pistols with a top mag and large grip seem to be fading from the market. Replacing them these days are pistols with a more compact size and design. Tiberius was the first to produce a mag-fed pistol with the introduction of the T8. The concept of feeding from a 'grip inserted mag' helped reduce the overall size of the pistol, making it closer to your typical 45 style gun. The Tippmann TPX utilizes a similar design with a slight variation, the TPX uses a front loaded 12 gram like the paintball pistols of old. The cartridge is loaded directly under the barrel with a 1/4 turn CO2 cap. This probably equates to a more efficient system by not joining the airing and loading duties into one mag. Normally you can get a little more than 8 shots out of a 12 gram cartridge, having them in one mag configuration may be a slight waste of air over time. The only downfall is the time it takes to load both the mag and the air cartridge separately.



On the TPX, the CO2 cartridge is not punctured until you pull the trigger the first time. This is a cool feature for pre-game prep. You can load up without the worry that you don't have a tight seal which could result in a slow, undetected leak. A leak that would otherwise leave you airless during actual play. The grip itself features a load window to allow you to see if rounds are still available for firing. Another ingenious feature created for battle moments when the last thing on your mind is trying to determine if you still have available rounds left in your sidearm.

Other qualities like the external velocity adjuster, ability to add a remote line air set-up and the comfortable ergonomic grip round off the list of features jammed into the Tippmann TPX Pistol. We are expecting the TPX to have a very long run in paintball, not only being the pistol of choice among Tippmann lovers but also the sidearm of woodsball enthusiasts worldwide. You can purchase the new Tippmann TPX through ROCKSTAR Tactical. Arrival date is expected in mid-April. Pre-orders will begin very soon.

Tippmann A5 and X7 Comfort Grips

Hogs Den is a custom design company that has turned out some of the wildest custom paintball markers ever seen. Their latest creation is the Tippmann A5 and X7 Pig Skins. The Pig Skins grip is a slide on unit that provides not only comfort but a more secure hold on the equipped trigger frame.

There are a few unique features of the Pig Skins. First the rubber grip has a removable bottom attachment that allows for the use of a stock bottom tank adapter. If you are running a remote line or some type of mag setup and not using the standard tank adapter, you can attach the bottom piece included with the Pig Skins. Another very cool feature is the included stylus that slides into the bottom piece. Use the stylus to program your egrip. The front of the Pig Skins has holes recessed for access to the programming ports.


These grips are unbelievably comfortable. They provide a much better grip on your trigger frame especially during hot days when sweaty hands are common. Get the A5 and X7 Pig Skins or view all the Hogs Den Paintball Products available through ROCKSTAR Tactical.

New Paintball Slings under $17 bucks!!

We've recently added some new Paintball Slings that are sure to put a smile on those '1 pt sling' lovers out there. The 1 Pt Paintball Rifle Sling is adjustable in size for all statures. The 1 pt design is a favorite among woodsballs because you get the weight transfer benefit of the sling with minimal interference during shooting and moving. These slings are made of a tough, thick nylon material, true military grade. The lower half of the sling features an elastic section. The elastic does not stretch too easily so you don't have to worry about your marker 'bungy-ing' around your neck. It provides just enough 'give' to absorb some of the quick weight that's transferred to your neck and shoulders during movement. It's a very cool design!
This paintball marker sling can be used on just about any paintball gun. The end includes a metal quick detach clip. Clip it onto a back or side sling ring. Attach it to a hole through a rear paintball stock. Usually you can find a place to attach to on almost any marker.
We don't know about you guys, but we are ready for winter to be over! Hopefully the weather will break sooner than later. From our communications with the friends and customers of ROCKSTAR Tactical, everyone is really ready to hit the woods and forget about all the worldly troubles for a few hours. Spring is coming! If anyone has any pictures of an outing or event, send them over. We'll post them for the world (or at least our readers) to see!
