JT Tactical Markers- The Tac-5
Ouch. What a place to be for JT Tactical right now. Their masks are looking sharp, hundreds of teams play wearing their jerseys and pants (I even wear a JT Jersey), and yet their latest gun has been labeled as “a Tippmann rip-off”, “a complete joke”, and “not worth the metal it’s made out of” by people who have purchased and used the marker.
In essence, JT Tactical (an offshoot of JT USA) tried to make something that looked fancy for all those beginner rec players (and their parents) who don’t know any better and just want a starting gun. The gun is more than worthless, and if you’d like proof, take a look around the JT Forums on PBNation. I’ve never shot one, and I really don’t plan to. (Although my opinion was sealed when I saw the ridiculous tactical handle accessory.)
But what bothers me the most isn’t the fact that JT produced a crappy gun. It’s the fact that they don’t care. They aren’t trying to improve the design. They aren’t offering customer service. Besides their markers they have an outstanding reputation, so why aren’t they at least putting some sort of interest into the gun market, if only just to make sure that their reputation doesn’t suffer anywhere else?

Duh, this marker is crap. You don’t know what your talking about, JT’s markers have always been labeled crap and nothing more than a noob gun. They aren’t really into the manufacturing of guns, they just tried some different low end marker designs at an attempt to bring a little more $$$ to the company. This is probably the doing of K2, note how after they bought JT and VL and WGP etc… theyve all started making even crappier markers than what they made before? WGP=Trilogy, BE=Blade, and JT=TAC5.

I told dana that JT Accelerator he bought was crap, but he never believed me (haha).
