    You mean with a red scythe trigger and a white with black spot anno, you could have the 'Rude Dalmatian'?

    I guess there's spitting dragons and aliens, why not a barfing dog?

        Just to get this out of the way: I wont buy it. I don't plan on owning any smart parts items, ever. I don't like what the company has done/is doing to the sport.

        HOWEVER!

        Aside from the steep price tag, this is a step in the right direction. They're trying something new, putting something out there that hasn't been done before. It actually seems really neat. When you lift up the chrome piece on the back, the marker degasses completely and you're able to take the whole bolt assembly out in one piece to tech it. It is noticeably smaller than the shocker. You can run this gun with the gas through the grip or in a standard inline reg + macroline setup.

        Yes, it is unfortunate that these are SP funded, but I'm pretty sure they will be quality. The plan is to release them only to certain DLX certified dealers, and/or custom order them straight from DLX. They really are taking this thing seriously, I doubt they're using the velveeta aluminum from the past.
        Remember, nitrogen hits harder!

          lol, i like this thread. I was getting really irritated by all th dumbass PBN kids calling this gun "revolutionary". That gun is nowhere near revolutionary, its just different.

          The sad thing is SP had to make another company with a different name so they can try and get more sales. Its obvious they know A LOT of people dislike their company.

          Maybe its a sign that SP isnt doing as good as it once was?

            SP will never die. unfortunately.

            i posted a picture of this gun in a thread on PBN that someone else started called "most ridiculous setup you've ever seen"

            they didn't agree with me of course. "oh that gun is sick he's crazy"

              looks like that cordless drill of a marker that Tippmann launched a while back.

                    the only good SP product is USED, and user repaired/upgraded to fix design flaws, consistancy issues, and relibility.

                      im just not fond of Sp's inability to properly fix a tank to a regulator

                      -also curious how it works as from the looks it appears they may have either used the max flo platform or a myth like reg and attached it to an on/off.

                      and why not just make it attach to the gripframe? the dovetail adapter looks out of place and bulky.

                      also curious as if thats polished aluminum or shiny plastic parts

                        from my understanding its a chrome peice.

                        besides being able to completely disassemble the gun. it sounds like it is an updated shocker with a gas through grip. other then that, it has a talking board (ditch the board and software and easily save a few hundred)

                          The only way I could imagine it being COOL is if when you hit someone it plays "Another one Bites the Dust" from the speaker...

                            I'm trying to figure out what they are using the speaker for?

                            Only things I can think of are:
                            programing
                            game timer


                            Can anyone think of anything else? I'm guessing its just a means of creating some hype and jacking up the price.....probably remove it next year to make it "new and lighter"

                            If they somehow integrated a 2 way radio into it, that would be cool for scenario games, but I doubt thats the market they are aiming for.

                                If AGD is the Harley-Davidson of markers, SP can be the AMF/Voit of markers. Hopefully, someday the employees will buy SP.

                                Having a high end subdivision is a pretty successful sales gimmic, like lexus for toyota. Maybe SP will offer free service plans with those markers, like a netflix service for a chrome plated ion. Mail it in and get another one back. They could offer a programming service as well. Lease plans, financing, SP is poised for the future.

                                Maybe the speaker is there to help the visually impaired player program the marker. It's a niche market, but you gotta take what you can. Or they could use it to make all sorts of neat sounds when you pull the trigger, in case you wanted a machine gun, phaser, blaster, etc. for your $.
