This guy has a few tips here and there, but he uses T8's. From design view, the TPX is way more efficient.

Stay low
Be patient
Hug the bunker
Keep your calm
And don't be afraid to move up

Also, you can look at some of MidnightAngels or Pistolpete's videos and take some notes.

play smart. You can't rely on firepower to get yourself out of a sticky situation, so don't get yourself into a sticky situation. Stay as covert as possible. Use cover and only move when necessary.

Depending on how many mags/pistols/air supply you can also play aggressive. It makes for a big distraction, it's a lot of fun and I usually take a few with me.

You've just got to remember that the angle of the shot is more important than the amount of paint you can put in the air. If you can get a really good angle on an opponent for a really clean shot then you shouldn't need 10+bps. Pistol play helps you get that angle by having a lighter and more manageable gun/rig which makes you more mobile.
Now that I got a good long Stiffi on my 'cocker I just need to find some dudes to shoot my balls on...

Play it like a Stock class pump gun, Pick your shots, Snap shoot, get in close, avoid gun battles, use your smaller profile to your advantage, and don't lane or try to keep someones head down, Also NO long balling.

Why do you think the TPX is more effecient then the T8, they both have vary similar designs.

well, IMO, say that u have 3mags for a t8 and 3 mags for a tpx. for the t8, you would need three co2 canisters. for the tpx, one co2. less canisters needed for tpx, so money is saved. also, tpx has a simple 1/4 turn cap to open co2 holding area thing ( ccant remember name). so cats.

That doesnt make it more effecient (facepalm) :dodgy: The comparison is how many shots you get from one 12g. The TiPX gets slightly better than 2 mags(7 rounds) while the T8.1 easily gets 3 (8 rounds).

If you only get a little over 2 mags from a tpx you're doing it wrong. Mine is bone stock and I can get over 3 mags of usable shots

I stand corrected (slaps own wrist). How bout this... What would you say average number of shots from a 12g would be with the TPX? with my 8.1 one I was looking between 26-28(not polished)

I generally get 26-28 useable shots. That's about 3 1/2 mags. Completely stock. You can put in a spring kit and polish the internals and get upwards of 5 mags I beleive

well it more efficient on number of 12g's needed. and i get three mags (7 rounds each) per 12g. but i usually use a remote line, so thats no problem for me.
