I've heard that their feed system has been having problems... they look decent though, but a weird feed system nonetheless.

If i'm not mistaken, the feed system on the omen is the same exact system on some GT paintball markers. Very unimpressive and dont' know why they would do this.

Its like a vertical power feed off to the side of the gun which does nothing that I can think of to increase ROF over a vert feed. The only thing I can think of is that you can sight down your gun, but nobody does that anyway

I'm sure i saw a thread where someone found the generic glove. Its the same exact glove as the evil one except the evil glove has some logos on it

It's actually advertised as a cam operated force feed system. It's offset to push paint into the gun. Sounds nifty but I have'nt seen one yet.

you two need to stop posting

the omen is an electropneumatic (i believe) closed bolt paintball gun. from all initial reports it shoots VERY nicely. it also uses a cam or a cam operated piston to force the paint into the gun with each shot. this makes the gun chop proof, and also kinda similar to the tippman A-5 system.

however, for those preordering it, remember the 6 month curse. i dont know if its still around, but usually teh first six months of a marker are marked by errors and problems that the company has not foreseen.

THanks Halb. I did hear around that the feed was having problems, but that might have been in prototype stages who knows if its still having problems. Do yall think i should get one of these over an impy for value?
