Fantastic little rifle, reliable, resilient and very accurate.
Greetings from the US. Just ordered one with AL forestock. Appleseed version. I have a M&P 22 but think this is a much superior alternative.
Shot Rifleman with Ruger 10/22 but looking forward to same with this platform.
Hello, Dave thanks for watching. Yes the semi .22 market is a big debate here in the UK as many state they have the best rifle for this and that. But it comes down to what you like! Regards GRTV
Went in to shooting supplies in Bromsgrove yesterday as I’m considering buying the M & P .22lr but having held both the Tippmann and the Smith and Wesson, there really isn’t a comparison to be made, the features, weight and feel of the Tippmann puts in leagues ahead of the M & P, can not stress how superior the Tippmann feels. The only reason to buy the M & P is the cost.
Wow, didn't know you could own any firearms in the UK, you learn something new everyday.
Hurry up uploading the test, I want one but haven't decided yet
Awesome! I hadn't even realised Tippman did 22LR beyond the PB version I've used for a couple years. I'd considered getting my first 22LR and the Sig 522, but I don't think I can resist opting for the Elite-S instead now, as every review I've found raves about them
Tippmann's are great 22s, you have to clean them often but that's just the nature of the beast when it comes to 22s of this design, it's the same with the S&W MP15-22. But Tippmann's is an all metal construction and is just build to a higher quality.
Ive got the Classic model waiting for me with my RFD friend til I get my FAC hopefully within the next 5 months and can take ownership, I will then also buy an Elite-S, as Ive just got into Mini Rifle.
Grats on the purchase! I have the Elite L and its awesome! Best trainer lr/22 rifle out there !!! Makes the M&P look like a cap gun ! lolI didn't even know yall could have these over there. Thats AWESOME !!!
UK gun laws. Piles of paperwork, home inspections, kissing the police chief's ass to get permit to buy a gun and ammo. Suppressors(uk calls them moderators are actually easier to get one there than in US. Moderators are encouraged because you want to be polite and courteous to your neighbors and not disturb them with the noise of the gun blast.
The M&P does feel like a toy compared to the Tippman Arms M4-22.
I see Dragonman has got his one to go full auto
How do the .22LR ballistics compare between the standard barrel length and the short version?
Ballistically there shouldn't be any difference between the barrels. This is true for many .22lr rifles. If you plan to go competitive then you wouldn't use a semi-auto for accuracy or group size. These rifles are for practical shooting, really were group size is not the issue.
All those interested in buying a Tippmann M4-22 should join the Facebook group "Tippmann Arms M4-22 Owners club (22LR)" over there you can see what current owners think about the rifle and ask any question. If you own one already, no excuses not to join!
I never heard it called two two before. I do like Barry's rifle set up, but sadly that would be considered a short barrel rifle (SBR) and there is a lot of paperwork, and money to get that, if your state even allows it.
Yeah here in England this is absolutely fine without any additional paperwork. As long as the gun is overall over 60cm long it’s all good.
Shooting suplies Birmingham, I can not find, I can find one in Bromsgrove, have they moved premises or do you have the town/city wrong in the video?
Bromsgrove is the one.
SHOOTING SUPPLIES IS IN BROMSGROVE

Picked one up in the US for $260 next to new. It doesn't even look used.
That's a steal, well done. Hopefully, you will enjoy it?
Nice considering one of these or a s&w 15-22 pc. The all metal is pulling me toward it and the bolt catch. But would like to see the test results is there any update on them?
We feel the Smith is an all round better gun, the Tippmann is a great plinker but the 15-22 is better for competition. The Tippman does feel closer to a full AR15.
I like the real looking magazine of the Tippmann compared to the goofy looking one of the MP1522. And the dust cover and forward assist.
@@Gunroomtv So this is a weird statement. The only advantage the 15-22 would have is that it is lighter. I am curious how you find it to be an all around better gun?
Greg not only is it light but it has proven reliability in competition and many aftermarket upgrade / accessories available for it.
@@Gunroomtv Maybe I just got a bad one. It was very picky with ammo and got recalled as well for a faulty extractor.
Can you fit an AR 15 upper to the Tippman lower? The answer is no. So it's a equivalent of a s@w 15-22 in metal.
No. Not at all
I went for the kris instead it was a toss up between this and the kris defiance it was a hard choice to make really. I sold my smith to get a slot freed up on my ticket
Ticket? I guess a certain amount of firearms can be owned with a ticket?
@@somewhitedude01 In a way. When you apply for an FAC, you specify what calibres you want and you're given spaces for those. You can always add to that later if you want to by asking for a "variation" - it costs a few quid to cover the admin.
@@robertstallard7836 thx for the reply.
Quid?
I can't speak for all states but here in Texas, the only time you have to apply for a license is if you want to carry a handgun in public, concealed or open. Thats wild there.
Edit:grammer
@@somewhitedude01 Just as "Buck" = dollar, so "Quid" = pound sterling.
From 'quid pro quo': an equivalent amount for something.
Whats with the twangy airsoft-like feel Ive heard people complaining about?
Is there any truth to the .22(maybe just the slug) being almost the same as a .223? Someone told me its just a oversized .22 with more juice and a bigger casing... also whats the diff between rimfire and long rifle .22? Can anyone un-retard me without getting to wordy? (Edit detard is what I shoulda said, please detard me)
I'll try! .22 Rimfire is a family of small cartridges that includes .22 Short, .22 Long Rifle and .22 WMR among others. They are all fairly low-powered, the .22 WMR (magnum) being the most powerful. 22 Long Rifle is the most common and possibly the most abundant type of ammunition globally, it's about an inch long and in standard form shoots a 40 grain bullet (weight) at between 1000 and 1250 feet per second from a rifle. The .223 basically shares nothing in common other than the actual projectile diameter. This means that the hole in the gun's barrel is the same, but the .223 projectiles are much longer, heavier, and of different construction. These bullets weigh in the 50 to 80 grain range typically, so a bit heavier, but the big difference is speed. The larger case means the .223 has a considerably more substantial powder charge and can propel a 55 grain bullet at 3300 feet per second from a rifle. Because velocity is a bigger contributor than weight to a bullet's energy, the .223 produces roughly 10x the energy of a .22LR. Keep in mind that the .223 isn't an especially powerful cartridge either!
@@ApurtureSci Nailed it bro...Thanks for taking the time to fully read the comment and fully answer it...And not dummy bashing me in the process lol. You sir have annihilated my ignorance in this matter and gained my respect.
@@TriggaPleas No problem at all mate. If there's anything else I can help with let me know!
Let down by the fact it’s not 100% milspec
I just wouldn't find this gun fun. It would feel like a toy. Got to have the .223 Cal. You Brits don't have much choice in the way of guns but If I was going to own anything under your draconian laws I would just pick up a shotgun. They're fun on the range. Turn some paper targets into confetti.
1:15 "They have a good heritage in making firearms, going back 30 years"
They used to make paintball guns, clearly you dont know what you are talking about. Maybe if you lived in America you'd be smarter
"The Tippmann family, headed by Dennis Tippmann Senior, originally manufactured collectible, half-scale replica machine guns. However, a change in gun laws led to entry into the paintball market in 1986"
Yeh, Americans are well known for being smart....
Matt Kay at least when we go to school to become smart we aren’t massacred
@@jamj59Hmmm, not sure where you're from, but it happens in many countries, too include the UK.
