Tippmann A5 and X7

Tippmann A5 is a semi automatic marking gun for paint ball sports manufactured by Tippmann. Based in Indiana, USA, Tippmann is a manufacturer of paintball markers and other equipments required by this sport. Paintball marking gun is not only used for recreational purposes like paintball sports but also for tactical police and military training. A5 by Tippmann is a good marker for starters, which is not very highly priced. But this model is the most upgradeable one and there are many parts and upgrades available in the market, which can make it quite expensive. This marker was modeled after H& K MP5K and it has Cyclone Feed system, a new loading concept innovated by Tippmann. Through this system, five rotating arms hold five balls between them and push the paintball directly into the firing chamber. Many paintball enthusiasts prefer it because of its durability and reliability.

In 2006, Tippmann came out with a new marker X 7 which was similar in design to A5. Tippmann X7 can fire up to 20 balls per second as opposed to A5. It has a cyclone Enhanced Performance feed system. The body of the marker is sleeker and highly customizable. One can get at least 1000 different kind of looks of this marker.

Aviation Headsets

I have been looking around for a new Telex aviation headset as mine is getting a bit out of date and I am concerned that it may stop working soon which would not be good! I tend to carry a spare with me just in case but I would rather have a more reliable headset. I have decided to get one of the David Clark ones as my friend has just got a David Clark h10 and looks fantastic. He is always showing off and saying how good it is and so it would be great to get one as good or better than his. I have been reading reviews and looking at websites to try to decide which one looks the best. I like to take my time normally, when making this sort of purchase, so that I can be sure that I get the best possible value for money and the best item for my needs. I really need to get something quick though and so I think it may be a David Clark 13.4 as I have found one in stock on a website and I like the reviews of both the headset and the company that is selling it.
