@@DaibhidhBhoAlba well your politicians seem to want everyone to know how they banned everything. That’s how they present on TV. The leftist American media pics up on that and doubles down. I also think most of your own citizens wouldn’t expect it. That being said “many options” is a bit of a stretch. Shotguns and bolt action rifles …outside of .22 right? No handguns and semi rifles though…that’s probably 90% of gun made. Oh you can have suppressors easily…but with some court cases in the US I think there is a change that crap goes away in the next few years
2:41 That's odd, the lower receiver has a web of metal at the rear of the FCG pocket, separating the very rear of the pocket (where the rear takedown pin goes) into its own separate pocket. I haven't seen one like that for years. I believe it was done in order to prevent the use of a DIAS (drop-in auto sear). That thin wall of aluminium was quite easy to remove, so Colt went one step further and installed a block of hardened steel in that area. I wonder why Tippmann chose to have that web in there? A UK regulation maybe, or going one step further to guard against possible future regulation? I doubt a DIAS would even work with a .22lr bolt anyway, since they are a different design to the M16 bolt that most centrefire AR15s use. I wonder if it prevents the use of some drop-in trigger units? I know some triggers won't work with "high-shelf" receivers (which were also intended to prevent use of a DIAS).
@@DaibhidhBhoAlba No I guess you're right. Probably something voluntary by Tippmann then, just to make sure that the receiver is as uncontroversial as possible. It's just weird seeing a receiver with that web after all these years. It has to have been a deliberate choice, because I don't think anyone makes them like that any more for the US market. All the receivers I have seen in the last several years have been low shelf/M16 cut.
@@Osprey_FPV it’s the dirty ammo I’m thinking, I’ve heavily cleaning the mags after each shooting and things are a bit better but I’m still having issues.
I use CCI mini mags and have absolutely no feed issues or dirty gun or mag syndrome front the burn and have zero feed issues and the mags are well constructed
I am aware of elite and pro (is it regular?) versions, and they differ in a materiál a of handguard. The Elite version has an aluminium handguard, the pro version has mil-spec polymer handguard.
Hey Guys "JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW" you are giving people the incorrect information about the Pittmann M4-22 Generations ..... After contacting Pittmann directly, Pittmann said they have lots of people contacting them because of your video giving false incorrect information on how to tell what Generation Tippmann M4-22 you have 1,2 ,or 3 using the serial numbers to tell. The actual "CORRECT" Generations by serial numbers is this.... Gen1: Serial# up to 19,999 / Gen2: Serial# up to 74,999 / Gen3: Serial# over 75,000. They are looking for a way to remove your video to stop giving incorrect info out to the public as you are doing now.
I don’t see how that can be the case. I’ve just bought a new one in the UK and my serial number is only 66k. And all new ones currently listed on Guntrader are in the 60k serial number range.
I was surprised too, but it makes sense really. Being straight blowback guns .22lr AR15s often have more in common with a high-end airsoft gun than they do with a standard AR15. Most of the internal components are completely different, and much easier to manufacture. I can definitely see how a company that makes airsoft ARs could quite easily branch out into rimfire versions.
My Tippmann has been a beast since day 1, magazines are flawless, which is one reason I picked it over a 15-22.
I would buy a tippman only because I had their paintball marker the “68 special” it was an indestructible beast of a marker.
If i was going to upgrade from my 15/22 i would go with the gen 3 Tippman!
The Tippmann out performs the M&P 22 any day.
Thank you. Definitely appreciate the detailed information.
Glad it was helpful!
That is pure stupid. If there are differences then you should mark the rifles for their generations so customers don't get screwed over.
Had no idea these were legal in the UK. At least you have that 🤷🏻♂️

Will any mil-spec safety work on a gen 3?
Hi. Could you make a video for tippmann arm m4 .22 bolt and ejector disassembly . Thanks
Hello, I am planning to buy Hiperfire PDI drop-in trigger , is it 100% compatible and working?
How can you easily tell the difference between Gen 1, Gen 2, or Gen 3? Will it be stamped on the gun, or should you look to the Serial numbers?
I thought thats what this video was gonna be about..
Mags and feeding is an issue that needs looking at.
What ammo are you using?
@@Osprey_FPV it’s the dirty ammo I’m thinking, I’ve heavily cleaning the mags after each shooting and things are a bit better but I’m still having issues.
bit of bedding in and their good as mate had the same issue with mine now it s faultless
I use CCI mini mags and have absolutely no feed issues or dirty gun or mag syndrome front the burn and have zero feed issues and the mags are well constructed
I had the same issue but it was down to the ammo I was using so I tried some others & currently running CCI Blazer with zero issues.
trigger guard can be changeable? I want to replace it with Magpul MOE Enhanced Trigger Guard, Polymer - AR15/M4
if my tippman has numbers starting with 0481.. then I understand that I have version 3?
Correct
What is the difference between the regular m4-22 and the m4-22 elite?
I am aware of elite and pro (is it regular?) versions, and they differ in a materiál a of handguard. The Elite version has an aluminium handguard, the pro version has mil-spec polymer handguard.
Is the bolt full auto capable? For dias?
I'm at 30k serials with my M4-22 Pro-L 16" is it in the Gen. 3 ??
Question. Is the receiver polymer or aluminum?
Aluminium
@@badwolf47836 Very good. So would this rifle last 700,000 rounds as well before you had a part break or wear out?
@@FinalLugiaGuardian in theory yes, mines had over 10000 rounds through it and it's still running brilliantly
stop showing me these its gonna dent my wallet :(
Can someone advice me here which is better - the Tippmann Elite S Gen 3, or the Lantac LA-S15.22
Tippman!!!! Lol the only real question is tippman or 15-22??
Dang mines in the 16 k’s
When did you buy it?
@@seanhatch4425 idk its prolly been close to 2 years ago maybe not quite I’d have to go find the receipt
my tippman elite is faultless

@clacctaclac it’s Tippmann not Pittmann
Thank you dude.
I didn't know they did anything other than Airsoft
Truth

2:23 The UK accent threw me off, did you mean 18,000 or 80,000?
