About the Tippmann TMC
The Tippmann TMC (Tippmann Modular Combat) is a high-performance paintball marker built for durability, realism, and customization.

Its in-line bolt system ensures reliability and easy maintenance, while the patented quick-change barrel system enables rapid swaps without tools. The TMC is heavier than some models (4.5 lbs), but this is due to its robust build, making it ideal for training and scenario games.
