******** First LVL 10 Video!! **************

[Prairie]

Shartley

I'm rather disappointed man.

Tom is STILL doing something most companies would never consider doing. He is showing us a product that hasnt been released yet, and showing it, IN WORKING ORDER (maybe not firing a ball, but it is working).

Even though in that state it may not fire a ball, what is the big deal? He is showing us something, we think its cool, and thats that.

I dont understand why you are getting so upset, just because people dont agree with you when they normally do?

I think you need an ego check buddy.

Quote from earlier post: "Once you see the video I think it will be clear where we are heading on this. I must point out that all the videos we will show represent the EDGE of the performance envlelope. For various reasons you may not be able, or not even want to go as far as the vids show. "

The way I look at it, we were forwarned.

We've all been around the block a few times and know that every manufacturer's test is designed to make them look good and the competition pale in comparison. Do you think Tom didn't test other markers before showing us that video? It reminds me of something I heard in a movie (can't remember it dangit) pertaining to lawyers. Don't ask a question you don't already know the answer to.

It was an impressive clip but even if he never showed us anything, EVER, 50% of us would still buy it based on the limited information he's already given us.

What was that movie anyway? It's driving me nuts. It had Tom Cruise and Demi Moore, they were Navy lawyers that went to Cuba to investigate a Marine getting killed. And the dude says in court "You can't handle the truth!"

It was "A Few Good Men"

...and it goes a little sumpin' like dis...

Tom Cruise: "Colonel, did you order the code red?"
Jack Nicholson: "You want answers?"
TC: "I want the truth!"
JN: "YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!"

Demi Moore looked hot in that flick, not like "Striptease" hot, but close.

What the hell?

Shartley, you should calm down bro. It would have been nice to have a working field ready marker in that video.
And I also thought it would have been nice to have a detailed view of the new parts as I stated before. But hey, Tom could have just decided to keep the whole thing secret until it's release date and not show us anything. At least the test video in a raw stage, which is what that was, is something to see. I just don't think it's a big enough deal to warrant inferring Tom's decieving us and qouting the dictionary.

I feel confident Tom was just showing us an example of what it's supposed to do. Am I disappointed at that video? Hell yeah I am. I have a cable internet connection and it still took me seven or eight minutes to download and watch that for some wierd reason, and it wasn't really anything. But, I'm not taking it personally. Hell, most of the people out there whether they saw that video or not will buy the lvl 10 anyway so what difference does it make.

I respect you shartley, don't get me wrong bro, I just think you're getting way too animated about something that's blown out of proportion and will end up pissing people off. Flame me if you want.

I would have to say though (not to get into the middle of this discussion) that what tom said is technically accurate (I agree with shartley that it was completely misleading as most people didnt really even remember what tom said in that original post ;-) ). But, tom said people may not want to go that far (being remove a detent, set the thing this soft) The marker would still perform, if you remove detents, I personally would never want to do that, but some people who have horribly chopping mags (WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE!@#*!@#) may want to... The option is there, it is not something many people would want to do, whereas im sure the option is there on the other extreme of you can buy a specially sharpened bolt, a specially weakend spring, that is designed to CHOP OFF YOUR FINGERS (yes, i'm currently working on this gun, I call it the fingerball gun, ammo is quite limited though, around 10 shots or so)...

Hey man, join the club. I was taking this stance two weeks ago when I was discussing my crusade against the "rules nazis" and they're evil plan to make us all wear grey unis with barcodes. I felt like my comments on that form of censorship were candid and important, but for the most part I was kinda left hanging too. (With the exception of a few like minded individuals.) Anyway, I see you're point and I'm glad you have the (paint)balls to stand up and say you're not buying the magic elves at work in that video.

You're last post made me see where you were coming from a bit more. I appreciate what you're trying to do for the good members of AO by pointing this out, and that's cool, I was just commenting that I thought it got blown out of porportion. However, I will concede you were in the chat room and I wasn't so quite possibly you found something else to get offended by that I wasn't privy to. In any case, I don't think it's worth saying you'll NEVER make the mistake of trying to bring injustice or wrong-doing to light again. It's what strong willed people like ourselves do...why do you think I have Superman in my sig? It's all good though...hope you didn't take offense.

That's some funny ****!

We predict that you will see this approach spread across marker designs in their attempt to catch up with our technology

you can't keep other companies from copying it? You should be able to protect it right?.. I don't know the legal mumbo jumbo, but there has to be a way... why spend all that time and money in R&D if someone can just copy it?

kool, once i see a mag wiht this setup working, even I might be impressed

[RT_Luver]

woah....

[Cypres0099]

If you took out the detent for that setting couldn't you use and autococker breach sizer for the extremes? Just a thought. :)
