Most of you have probably seen this, but if you dont visit PBN then this is News to you :)

Apparently an RC car company (Hobao) has branched out into paintball. Looks to be some sort of Dye Clone. not much more is known about the actual marker besides what can be seen in the pictures.

The revolverish style grip is cool, unless you're playing paintball. I think it would be hard to walk that trigger.

Even worse, looks like they are going to be making paintballs. Grip is weird, but it looks like it might be comfy.

I think it's funny that you can "customize" your marker by choosing a different color. :tard:

Price is a factor but I don't think they are going to beat dye out with a dye clone in this case.

System X didn't fair all that well compared to bob long

I ofcourse could be wrong, I'm just tossing rocks here

:sleeping:

are any of the PSP, NPPL, or Millennium fire modes straight semi?

I really hope there is something more than just a grip style change....clones are boring.

i sadly read through all 26 pages of "it looks like X and X had a baby" to only find the images and specs. no word on Price or any other info then i already posted in the first post

Terrible trigger and frame. The pivot point is actually in front of the trigger (wrong), the frame is extended too far backwards, and the grips and frame are too thick at the bottom.

Like i said, revolver style grip looks cool but is garbage for playing with. and i didn't even notice the pivot point. i'd still like to shoot it to see how it feels but i suspect i won't like it.

I love shocker style triggers but if you're going to copy the DM its pretty dumb not to copy their same trigger feel (arguably the most important part of ripping something off is that it feels the same)

The box art is cool.

look again, you can get whatever design you want laser engraved on the flat part of the frame. still not anything special, but cool that you can get it done from the manufacturer
