2008 Bob Long Protege Gen 5 Intimidator Paintball Gun

Piranti yes, they are and Autocockers shoot farther too. How is a Timmy a Spyder? Other than semi similar shape they aren't similar in any way. How do people get that they're Spyders? Anyone?

I think mostly this idea comes from the notion that the original Timmy evolved from BL's production of his Millenium gun (which was a fancy Spyder). It might also come from the language found in many of the early Timmy manuals which said something to the effect of...

"The Intimidator is an open-bolt design, very similar to the popular open-bolt blowback design found in the Spyder. The primary difference is that instead of blowback re-cocking a spring loaded striker, the bolt is locked in a dual pressurized machined slider."

IIRC Bob has said that the Timmy evolved from his experiments with "electronifying" excess Millenium inventory. The result was the Defiant/Bushy and later the Timmy.

Over 2000 shots on a 68/4500 isn't something many markers can claim.

Anybody can claim it but whether or not it can happen is another story, same goes for this gun. As of now im not all that impressed. Its just another paintball gun that does the same thing as nearly everythign else out right now. No doubt its a nice gun but its nothing special in my eyes.

I'd like to test shoot one first.

I think the big selling point on this one is the price, it performs like all the $1000+ markers but costs about half that much.

Same here, but I've never been disapointed with Bob Long before.

probably shoots just like any other timmy.

at first glance it looks kinda like a Wrath :spit_take

There are A LOT of guns that already do that imo.

Not really, theres alot that claim to but if you actually use both theres usually quite a difference.
