US Army Carver One Paintball Gun

Tippmann will be making some changes to their US ARMY paintball product line in the next month or so.  They are replacing the standard US Army Alpha Black paintball gun with the new CARVER ONE.  Tippmann will still be offering the Alpha Black in the Tactical model as well as the Tactical Egrip, Digital Camo Tactical and Project Salvo.  This departure from the standard Alpha Black is likely due to the popularity of the Alpha Black Tactical over the standard Alpha Black which are offered at very close price points.

At first glance, the US Army Carver One may be mistaken for Tippmann’s SL-68 but the Caver One is a totally different platform.  The Caver One features Semi-Auto .68 caliber firing using Tippmann’s tried and true in-line bolt system.  Barrel length is 8.5″ and is referred to as a ‘quick thread barrel’ – that’s Tippmann lingo for a 98 threaded barrel.  As with all of Tippmann’s products, the US Army Caver One will be both reliable and durable.  It features an all-aluminum cast receiver, stainless steel braided line and the same hard, matte black finish found on Tippmann’s other markers.

Added features include a built-in foregrip, inline sights and slings mounts.  Gotta love it when they add factory sling mounts!  Rail space is plentiful as well.  The top receiver rail is 7/8 military standard picatinny which means all your weaver mount scopes and sights will work.   The foregrip features 3 separate rails.  Add a laser or tactical flashlight to either of the side 7/8″ rails and an RIS style grip to the bottom rail.  As you know, optional rail space means unlimited potential.  The available rail space on the Carver One will allow for you to customize the marker with the exact accessories you’ll need on the field.

The US ARMY Carver One will be offered in three separate versions: Carver One Basic (T106400), Carver One Egrip (T106401) and the Carver One Power Pack (T106402) for those looking for a complete kit.  Release date is scheduled for early March 2010 so look for it from your favorite Tippmann Dealer very soon.
