The tippman looks like their trying to make the marker look more sporty like the gryphon, unlike the bt-4 which looks like normal rental / basic markers you see on the market.
Erm - they designed the FT-12 to look like an Uzi, which it kinda does - hardly a sporty choice...


Also, a little known fact for ya'll. The designer of he FT-12 is John Rice, the Brit who also designed the Angel. He left Angel around the same time I did, in a big money move to Tippmann. Oddly, he designed the FT-12 but had nothing to do with the Tippmann Crossover, which was Tippmanns first attempt at a mid-level speedball gun.

You were with Angel? Cool.
