The Hybrid

[Ov3rmind]

Finally, some good pics of this. It's a Cockerish type gun made by Powerlyte, and it actually looks pretty nice. go to FON (http://www.forceofnature.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=320&mode=nested&order=0&thold=0) for an article and pics on it. For $695 you get a swing frame, delrin bolt, wrap around grips, Rock LPR, Bomb 3 way, and an all around more well designed ram. Plus, it doesn't look all that bad and is made by a pretty decent company. I'd like to get one, but there's so many other guns I still wan't right now (Emag C&C Extreme, V2 Revenge, and building my own Cocker).
Here are some pics:

I really like the way the front pneumatics have been set up on this one.

"Clean"

ya, thats sick. Thing is - only performance enhancing thing is bolt/valve assembly (vs. normal cocker), so what is the price difference gonna be. Personally, if I'm gonna spend 500 bucks just to have a unique gun I could think of something a little better than that ;)

[Mossman]

Partially forget top post. I didnt see price before. for 700, thats a good deal :)

I want one

I was thinkin' about this gun some more, and the absence of a pump arm running all the way down the side of your gun is also kinda' nice. I'm also liking that 3-way mini block, sooooo much more convenient. The only thing I don't like so far is the back block milling, ugly as sin IMO (I hate how no aluminum comes over the top of the bolt, and how it gets wider at the bottom).

OMG, thats great, they pretty much fixed alot of issues that people had with cockers. I want one, and if the MSRP is around $700 I expect them to come out at around $625-$700. Just sux for me that nobody ever wants to buy my cocker... If I can sell my cocker for around $500 then mabe I'll get one...

edit: almost fergot... with out the tank, inline reg and dye barrel.... this was only a little over $400 shipped.... though finding parts is kinda of a hassle.... now i just need to figure a way to mod a hinge trigger for it.... all i know is i would probly have to move the 3way....
