Tippmann M4-22 Elite GS

Tippmann Arms: Rimfire Semi-Auto RiflesTippmann Arms is the reference when it comes to rimfire semi-automatics in AR-15 style. The product range extends from simply designed models, such as those used for "plinking" on steel gongs, to competition-ready models. Tippmann is also represented in dynamic shooting sports, such as IPSC in the Mini Rifle category, with models from the M4-22 series.Tippmann Arms is a well-established name in the paintball sport and has made significant investments in the area of firearms requiring permits over the past years. The manufacturer has a very high internal value creation, so nearly all manufacturing parts of the AR-15 platform are produced and assembled in-house. This ensures minimal tolerances and an unparalleled quality standard in this price segment. The processing of metal and plastic parts is top-notch, and the firearms overall feel very high-quality. The free-floating aluminum handguard is designed to be extremely stable and is firmly connected to the upper receiver.Our Experiences with the Tippmann Arms AR-15 ModelsThe rimfire firearms from Tippmann allow for an affordable entry into dynamic long gun shooting. They also come with a lot of features that are not necessarily common in this price range for AR-15 rifles. All models of the M4-22 series that we have had in our hands – and there have been quite a few – are characterized by extremely low tolerances and tight fits. The upper and lower are absolutely free of play… and this remained the case with our test firearms even after many thousands of shots fired with the weapons, e.g., in IPSC, falling plate shooting, or similar applications.And here we are at the next point, which is why we are absolute fans of the firearms from Fort Wayne: We have not experienced a single malfunction with our "Tippmanns"! And this is indeed to be regarded as an absolute quality criterion, as a perfect match between firearm and ammunition is often a prerequisite for functional reliability, especially in the area of rimfire semi-auto firearms. The Tippmann M4-22 fired all types of ammunition we have loaded so far, from the budget-friendly MAGTECH to more expensive ammunition types from RWS or SK Long Range.Another innovative feature is the two-part magazine of the firearm. The magazine is equipped with a button that releases a slider, allowing the magazine spring to be tensioned. The individual rimfire cartridges no longer need to be "pressed" into the magazine during the loading process (which is often not easy with oiled or wax-coated cartridges) but can simply be "placed" into the magazine without pressure.Last but not least: the PrecisionIn addition to the mentioned features, we are most impressed by the precision potential of the small semi-autos! When the Tippmann is equipped with a red dot with a magnifier or a scope and fired from a rest, it produces groups that are hardly inferior to those of a bolt-action rifle. The famous "1 cent piece" can be reliably held at 50 meters with the M4-22, and we were also able to achieve very good results at 100m with the SK Long Range. We are currently shooting the firearms in their original setup, meaning, for example, with a different trigger group (the standard trigger has about 2kg trigger weight), so even more is certainly possible. The shooting performance of the rifles is therefore more than impressive, and we will stretch the distances a bit more in the course of further tests.Buy Tippmann Arms at GunfellowsWe are exclusive dealers for Tippmann and partners of Helmut Hofmann Mellrichstadt, the general importer of firearms from Fort Wayne.
