Right, so I traded my Spyder MR2 ACS and got an Armson Semi in exchange. Balance and ergonomics feel real good, with the balance at the trigger if the bottle is facing forward, and the grip feeling like that of an M16. It's got a collar lock retention system for the barrels, so no threads on the barrels. You can change the feedneck from right to left. Its got a gas-through grip with expansion chamber in the grip and dual gas ports. There is a gas port plug for when I only want to use one gas port and the tiny bottle can act as an additional expansion chamber. Oh, and its got a dovetail rail with integrated iron sights that clear the feedneck. Next up, a nice matte- or satin black powder coat.

Wait, so Smart Parts didn't come up with the gas-thru grip frame idea?

Sorry I had to... :-)

All I've got to say.

Also interesting to note that the feedneck is basically a vert powerfeed, since it's got the powerfeed design, but feeds into a vert body. For the same reason, it would be simple to convert to a vert feed for faster feeding with a force feeder.

I picked one up this year too.

They're just cool guns. Lots of nifty engineering things going on.

I had one years ago and always regretted getting rid of it. Shot darts. Shot darts only 3-4 rounds a second, but shot darts.
