Smart Parts Nerve

[Cryer]

Has anyone heard anything on it? I thought it was supposed to come out around the same time as the shocker...

[OysterBoy]

Eh, looks like a shocker shagged a spyder.

I have a pic of it somewhere, but Im too lazy to upload it

:p

[Mag Master 04]

lol, i think i seen this in a APG mag... it looks just liek a shocker to me, but i didnt look too close. so that dosnt say much:rolleyes:

[evan123]

Well for one I doubt it will come out soon because SP advertised it wayyyyyy before they should. Its basically an upgraded shocker stock. Different body of course. I am not sure on the internals.

[demonguy8]

The nerve is not an upgraded shocker....

The nerve is to a impulse what a Dm4 is to a trixx

[xXHavokXx]

yeah but the DM4 came out, the nerve is a year late.

[WenULiVeUdiE]

The nerve has 2 tubes, shocker has one. Itll have so many sensors it will make your head spin. And you thought the IR3 was to advanced...

[ghed]

Yea, like demonguy said. It is probably the same/similar internals as the Impulse, just made to look like a DM4

So has it been released?

I've seen pics, I was just wondering if anyone has any news on its progress...

[68magOwner]

yea, the nerve is just a little imp, like the dm4 and trix, but i guerentee you people will say it shoots soooo much better than an imp because it costs more

No, it has not been released yet. SP is holding off a full release to get all the bugs worked out of the shockers and peoples waranties taken care of. Some places like Paintballgear.com are advertising the nerve buy not selling yet.

And just so SP can make more money they will require the Nerve to have its own line of barrel threads :) OH JOY!

Thanks!;)

I will have some pretty neat scans from the 2003 catelogue (and a few from other places as well) up later tonight (sunday) if my scanner decides to like me today. If not tonight them tomorrow.

Hmmmm, overpriced cosmetics on a not-as-functional body with absolutely no performance benefits?


That should about sum it up, yeah. Good call demonguy!

[Ydna]

Actually, yes! The Nerve does boast a few little tricks but they're nothing too special, just like the DM4. We all love those built-in on/off valves...

[Meph]

Darn' tootin' it'sa nothin' special'.

I'm not a big fan of the DM4. I like the DYE Matrix better because it has a replacable breech to get rid of the junk detents. Plus a better vert-feed piece ala no-rise for the Halo users. Not to mention the ability to use a different LPR since DYE regs just flat out are junk. I wouldn't use one if given to me, I'd sell it so some schmuck and buy a Palmer.

And if you take them apart and look exactly at the design, the airflow, and how they work. You will notice not a damn elaborate change. Matrix pieces float together, DM4 they screw together. That's it. Otherwise the airflow is the exact same, it functions the same. No major difference.

DM4 is the overpriced glory-boy poster-child of hype.

DM4 is the overpriced glory-boy poster-child of hype.

And its ugly on top of that.

[Ydna]

The obviously took a huge leap in the milling, they knew those that loved it would buy the gun, and those that hated it won't, and there's enough of those who like it to go around.

I am getting sick and tired of everybody I hear that likes them saying "it's the fastest gun I've ever shot!" Give me a break.

[xXHavokXx]

See i think all trix's other than the DM$ are ugly so i was happy they came out with a non ugly gun that shot like a matrix.

But im just a poster boy for consumer whoreism

[Top Secret]

In defense of the DM4, the Dye regs are definatly not crap. At Madness my DM4 was easily doing +/- 2 and I didn't once during the whole weekend have to readjust the regs. The gun sat nicely under the limit for the whole tournament. Not chopping or breaking a single ball out of any of our teams DM4s is definatly shows how well these guns perform.

[xXHavokXx]

Of the four DM4's on my team. One of them has chopped. Chopped twice in one game then never again. These guns mow.

[Ydna]

I've had bad experiances.

[abrewin450]

I was just wondering why anyone would want to buy a nerve when they could buy a shocker 03 for way less. As far as I can tell, the nerve has no advantages over the shocker. Also I am assuming that the shocker is smaller and lighter than the nerve. The only possible benefit that I could imagine would be a better anti-chop eye but I don't know why anyone would have any problems with vision and a halo on a shocker.

[WenULiVeUdiE]

From what I have gethered from the Nerves patents, it will be more expensive than the shocker for a good reason. It will have sensors that self adjust the velocity and regs and some other things. Sounds great, but not from SP. It may not have text messaging like the IR3, but it'll have some really crazy stuff that you can actually use on the field.

[Rather]

As I understood from the add I saw in one of the pb magazines. It comes Out of the box with a maxflow tank and the freak kit. So taht could be part of the high price there (along with the features WenULiVeUdiE listed).

[Ydna]

Yes read what I have to say about it <a href="http://www.angelfire.com/mech/zds/archiv/nerveinfo.html" alt="Nerve" target="_blank"><u>here</u></a>

The Nerve gets much better efficiency then the Shocker does, unless you dropped a bolt in it. And yes it also comes with a Freak and a tank.

There's also the fact that not everybody wants a gun that weighs one pound.

[Raven4000SX]

The Nerve will come standard with a Max Flo air system and Freak barrel. Just like a package deal.

[abrewin450]

So the only way you can purchase the gun is if you pay for a tank and freak as well? Do yall know if the gun will be sold seperately ever? I mean couldn't they make it like the ultimate vision package, but then you can also buy the base marker for much less.

[Raven4000SX]

I think you should be able to buy the Nerve by itself, but from the ads I've seen it will be coming in a package deal. The Max Flo and Freak are included in the price of the marker.

[No sKiLLz]

The Nerve isn't a spool valve. It will have an LPR. Those are the two major differences.

[Ydna]

Differences between the Nerve and what?
