I don't like the Tippman at all, I thought the recoil shock had some great offerings but the platform wasn't for me. The TM is an excellent gun if you're okay with low FPS and 8.4V Ni-MH batteries, low torque motors and the such. You're also stuck with balanced-torque gear ratios, and the stop on empty stops working if you increase speed (for trigger response). I'm more about high performance everything.

If you are dead set on something with a blowback feel, your options are either an actual gas gun, or AEGs with recoil engines. As far as gas guns go, the ONLY one that I think is well built and I would run is Viper Tech, but that's probably way over your budget. As far as recoil AEGs go, the ones mentioned were BOLT, KWA, and TM. BOLT kicks the hardest if I recall, but they break the most. KWA is okay. TM is also okay, but the kick is fairly weak.

In my opinion there are much better options available if you do not need blowback.
