this marker is closed bolt autococker design, BUT NOT FRONT BLOCK. it has a innovative spring return design that eliminates the need for all the complicated front parts.


Darkside Paintball in joint with Whatzapnin? Enterprises LLC are currently aquiring exclusive rights to sell and service these markers in the US. Anyone at IAO this year got to see these markers, and they are very impressive for their price range.

what happened to these? i just found this on an old thread on here

Not sure about their existance but you can find reviews on pbr so I guess that they did end up coming out.

saw these things at IAO a couple years ago. the seemed to shoot ok but you couldn't understand a damn word of the reps in the booth - they were of the asian persuasion.

didn't they get sued for the pneumatic operation of them? i thoughyt they did.

i may be getting the name "Nova" confused with something else ...

but weren't those the ones where the whole barrel moved ... in searching the internet now ... ill probably answer my own question in a few minutes

Yea, the barrel also acted as your bolt, moving in and out of the breech area to seal and fire the gun. Definately have a neat feel to them.

i found it ...yeah i didn't realise novas were spoolies ... guess reading a little more would have helped ... i skimmed over that info more than once and didn't see it

one of them was up on MCB's B/S/T a while ago ... wonder who ended up with it ...

I have a teammate with over 8 variations of the Nova. They are really pretty cool, I just cant justify spending $200 for a nice one though. You have to be careful when in the market for them, some were recalled for regulator issues...

It also acted as a harpoon for some guns. They actually flew off when shot. Extreme Bunkerings!

Yea, the reg would over-pressurize and launch the barrel down-field! Like I said you have to be careful with a Nova purchase.

I quit caring after I clicked on their website and my browser asked me if I wanted to install a "traditional Chinese characters" language pack :rolleyes:
