Henry Posted April 6, 2009 Report Posted April 6, 2009 John, I see you are still asking people about the Aero. I think you should call the designer at Tippmann and he will fill you in on most of your questions. His name is Al and he can be reached at 1-866-286-8046 (Toll free). He can explain all the features that make the machine unique. Failing that, you can call Jim Miller at the same number. He is my sales contact ever since I started selling the machines, which is 8 years ago. I sold at least 2 dozen of these machines (in Canada and the US) and haven't heard a complaint since. As to why they were discontinued, they made 1000 of them originally and then were going to redesign the machine with a longer cylinder. But the sales numbers did not warrant ordering another 1000 castings because the sales just did not justify the investment. They were selling hundreds of BOSS machines a month so it didn't make sense to put out so much money for castings when they could barely keep up with the BOSS production. That is what happened, it had nothing to do with the reception of the Aerostitch or the performance of the machine. You should talk to Ian (above) who actually has one of these machines; sold to him a few years ago by myself. Since Tippmann stopped then all the Chinese machines came flooding in at lower costs and amazing claims of abilities so in hind sight it may have proved a wise decision. All the parts and are readily available and accessories are the same as with the BOSS so they are available as well. I hope that helps in answering some of the questions on this thread.
