[QUOTE=famousgamer]Dude. That design team at Special Ops is as usless as tits on a bull. They finally get the mask clearance issue addressed on the Black Cell Ion, and then the only picatinny rail is blocked by the vert feed![QUOTE=famousgamer]
Fine by us (and many others) not by you. The sky is falling!

You do not have to drill/tap. Drilling is optional for a better fit. The screws that come with the rail kit are self tapping ( like wood screws) In theory you could put those rails anywhere there is sufficient material to screw into.
Occluded sights do not require clear line of sight. Also, we have "other plans" for this marker beyond what you see .

We wish Smart parts did a right or left feed (loved the X-mag for that option)... but alas they did not. Offset will be the best option however I hate sigting through an offset... it's wierd. I would rather use an occluded sight where it does not matter if a feedneck is in the way. Sighting with two eyes is the way to go, rather than squinting out of one and closing off precious field of vision.

That is the StinkOps (love that dis) DTI2 Ion body kit.

Those Deadlywind guys rule.
It is only 85 bucks, and is completley milled out of a solid block of aluminum. It has its rails on angles like the Tac One body, and also has extra rails at the front of the marker, and on the front underside for laser, bipods, doo dads, etc. It is easily ten times better than the Black Cell, and I would guess it is also less expensive as well... at least after you factor in the fact that the Black Cell needs an aftermarker offset adapter or extra rails for the sides.
Apparently SO cool that you "overlook" your preference for mask clearence. This actually has LESS than the longbow when you take into the account the shroud and rail on the longbow design... and even less still if the 45 degree rail is used as the place to mount the sight. The only only option is to use the dovetail and where is that located? Right behind the Feedneck...
So, enlighten them on that issue. I suggest you don't do it the way you went about doing it with us.
I doubt you would as your intelligent enough to know when your making progress or just being an ***.

I dig your design feedback, just not your insults. Your welcome any time. As far as blocking "us" into a corner... hardly, this product sells well for us but if it went away tomorrow... nobody at our headquarters would lose their job. (side note): AGD has not been looking good lately and we hope they stick around (we LOVE AGD) but we have been prepared to lose this marker.
famousgamer, what I find the most odd is that you have one of the fastest growing paintball companies (us in case you were wondering) communicating with you and willing to work with you on design ideas however you spit in our face. I mean honestly... if you are about providing design ideas and feedback to a company that has breathed some life into a dying marker design... do it more intelligently. How's that saying go again? Something like: You catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar.
Design is one's opinion, Design is not a formula, Design is a judgement, In judgement there is a "right" and "wrong" however that system only works if everybody has the same values. The error in all your arguments is that your "come from" is that your feedback is a opinion that you treat as fact and you expect eveybody else (again your online ego is a sight to behold) to follow in suit because your right and everybody else is wrong. Again, everybody has different values... in all walks of life. We support our design with opinions on why we think it will work for a person... We rarely if ever say "This is the only way...the right way" rather "this is our way.. .perhaps you should give it a shot"
This has what I have been trying to get through your "ego wall" since your first attacks.

Indeed and I have done quite a bit of answering and replies to your questions and attacks and I am pretty sure you have not bought much (if anything) from us. And that is still bad service? Sheesh!
