Battle Tested do to some legal issues...

once it did, tippmann sued and won, apparently poor ben isnt allowed to use his own name so it had to be changed.

i think they won because ben tippmann is related to the the people who own tippmann.

BT Paintball changed to "Battle Tested" when KAS joined with BT Paintball. BT used "Battle Tested" as a slogan early on, but yes BT stood for Ben Tippmann. Jonsey knows the score...
