thanks for that completely useless peice of information that is not even correct

BT (Ben Tippmann) is a independant company to Tippmann pneumatics, who are owned by K2 sports (summit partners)

Ben Tippmann left and started his own brand in 2004 when summit partners bought out Tippmann Pneumatics

Two seperate companies, who are in competition....

It's funny, because the guns are internally identical minus the stupid "cyclone feed". Meaning they may as well be made by the same person.

thanks for sharing that insightful peice of information with us Seth.

on your reasoning.. I guess spyders and their clones might as well be made from the same person as they are almost identical inside.

BT's have a better ball detent than the tippmanns, it does fit in a tippman however.
