New AB Freestyle - smaller, lighter, faster *UPDATED*


ICD is making a new, truly custom Freestyle. So custom, you can tell us what you like, and do not like about the gun. What features do you want to see on it and how much do YOU want to pay for it. That's right, we are asking for your help! So comment freely. It’s your gun, make it that way.

AB Freestyle

Introducing the most advanced, customizable, light, and fastest piece of pure beauty that only the AB Freestyle can bring to the table. Manufactured by ICD mildly based on a freestyle body. This gun is pure hawt-ness. Here are a few features PBStar and ONLY PBStar know about.

You wont find this gun on the shelves. Each production run is made to order, and each one being different. Each production line will be extremely customizable based on what the user wants. Each production run includes:

http://www.paintballstar.com/pn/modules/PagEd/pictures/abf2small.jpg

*each run will be given a different name, with a serial number placed under the grip. (I.E "Eleanor 1" "Shelley 12")

*Each run being a different combination of body anodizing, parts colors, and function.

*Side panel customization. You can put your name, team name, or wicked design by just sending in a required file.

*For a little extra, these guys will give you ANY CUSTOM ANNO YOU WANT! Yeah... that’s right. Want your team colors? You got it.

http://www.paintballstar.com/pn/modules/PagEd/pictures/abf4small.jpg

Here are some of the specs for you guys:

*Lightest gun ever. approx. 1.9lb

*First ever PB Solenoid. Made especially for PB for higher flow, operates at higher pressures to enable faster cycling

*28 BPS (if loader permits)

*Break beam laser eyes

*Most accurate gun tested. (Margin of 80% hits in a 6in. radius from 100ft.)

*ONLY gun of its kind to have a "windowed" breech. That’s right, you take out the bolt you can see through the gun, AND down it.


*Named AB due the way the windows look

*Snatch Grip Pull Pin

*All of that, and soon more, will be available in 3-4 weeks for purchase.

looks nice!

too bad the frame only comes in "hump" style...

I wonder how many shots you can get off a 68/4500 on this gun...? :shooting:

Destructive Customs is also doing their own version of the Freestyle Pro.. Not exactly the same but still neat none the less.

Since it will have the HE bolt you can get like 1200-1400 shots on a 68/4500.

You could get 1000-1100 out of a 68/4500 w/ HE bolt.

I saw 650-700 w/ HE Bolt, and 45/4500.

I get double that with my Ego... :p <3

Unless the price is amazing, these aren't any different than FSP's ... shooting wise... and the backorder will grow fast, just like the X-mag...

Are you sure about that? It sounds to me like you can customize the 'whole' marker, including the frame...I could be wrong. But that milling looks awesome. :headbang:

So how much is it?? I dont think is it worth it if it is more then 900.

Duck Hunt

Wow, that whole remove the bolt see down your gun thing kinda reminds me of a mag...


or any other gun!

Hottest freestyle to date.

I like it except the back end, the two little black protrusions (including the snatchgrip, I don't know what the other one is) are just plain ugly. Make the back end less pointy and put a different snatchgrip on it and I think it would be so much better.

wow, that is one of the hottest guns ive EVER seen.

Its one of the first non mono-tube markers I have really liked. I dont get the tall feedneck, but hey, they can be replaced.

here's a "Bonebreak Freestyle"

Man that hump on the AM Diadem was ugly... wonder if AM can sue everyone for copying there ugly design?

TheTramp

I've got big hands so grips with "humps" feel better to me. A little more to hold onto and when you're shooting fast you don't really hold the grip anyway. The hump gives me a place to rest the base of my thumb.

anyone else notice the toolmarks under the little lip on the back arch? Call me picky, but toolmarks need not be present on any gun over 500 bucks

well if u look at the BB FS and the AB FS the tray on the AB FS is a lot smaller so they have to put that stuff somewhere(the grip)

You could get 1000-1100 out of a 68/4500 w/ HE bolt.[/b]

You should be seeing around 1200-1500 with HE bolt kit. With the Gen2 internals (no HE) you should be getting around 1000 or so.

Either way, I like it... just not sure it's going to be worth the price... as I don't want anything extremely special... silver / gunmetal body and a twist clamping feedneck. I'm not worried about getting some awesome fade and having my name in the grip.

wow that is the coolest looking gun i've ever seen. The milling is amazing. I know a lot can be customized but can you give me a better idea of how much it can be customized?

PsychoBaller

Wow... I'm actually starting to like the Freestyle.

At first glance when they came out, i just was like, no. But over time I've seen the milling possibilities and options, and my interest has grown in the sucka.

Oh yah... HELZ YAH for 45 frames, they the greatest. I hate the humps... sorry old emags, you too. heh. I shoulda started a movement back in the day to counter other groupings of AOers.

That is by far the sweetest freestyle I have seen. Josh, can you give us a ballpark price on a basic AB Freestyle? Perhaps similar to the one shown in the photos. I might have to unload my gen1 and pick up an AB. :cool:
