New News about the AM Diadem ITS:

The Diadem ITS boasts many of the same high performance traits of its high dollar competitors, at a much more reasonable price. High rate of fire, seven selectable modes of fire, user programmable settings, dual regulators, low drain circuitry for long battery life, and all of this in one of the smallest and lightest packages yet in the Electro-Pneumatic family. But before, you would have had to buy a whole new marker, because it couldn’t be retrofit into the Sentinel.

That has changed. You wore us down. The last delay on the Diadem ITS is almost over, and it is time to announce that we have decided to make a retrofit kit as well. You can soon replace your hammer with a pneumatic ram and replace the lower receiver with the Diadem Lower receiver (it is that simple) and turn your Sentinel into a Diadem. The entire conversion takes less than five minutes.

The Diadem will also still be available as a full package. So if you don’t own a Sentinel you will still be able to get the Diadem.

Look for this upgrade to hit the market soon. It will be announced on our website first, but we will put a post here as well to give PBN a heads up! They will sell fast!

Sort of reminds me of the ACI Griffin semi auto upgrade kit for ACI's line of mech markers.

That looks so ugly, works similar to an impy probably

...and they put an evil little demon in the hand grip of every Diadem that makes you shoot faster. It's true.

So it does not work like an Imp? From the impression @ IAO and the CDROM I got gave the impression it was nothing more than a stacked tube pnuematic marker. That being said I personally dislike the feel of it. Although it looks much better with the MicroRock moved to the tubes instead of under the grip.

instead of having a two way solenoid it uses blowback gasses to recock and the solenoid to fire, much like tippmann's e-bolt

Strange, They should of just modified the cup seal and made it recock with a pnuematic ram instead

Is there an advantage to doing it this way?

Interesting to say the least, I wonder how the solenoid does under these conditions, how long is the dwell?

And of course the question begs, why not just make it a sear tripper? Or a fullblown pnuematic ram...Since for 600 a hybrid blowback/pnuematic ram marker seems a bit stiff.
