[Tracy_ptp]

Based on feedback from this poll we will be able to start narrowing down the design. With an additional polls so that we can give you what you want and come up with the finished product.
We will make a decision by Sunday.

I like clean lines better, plus my Etac covers my woodsball perfect for me....

something very sleek and UL would be tight.

If woodsball is all about rails, all a body really needs is a spot and a set of screw holes for a picatinny rail. As long a standard rail will lie flat on the body, it can be ano'd black and rail'ed for woodsball. I always thought the original, mostly flat sided micromags were a hair away from being drilled and tapped for side rails.

Are rails much cheaper when they are milled into a marker body?

I still voted for sleek...

no not cheaper. We already build rails for our sight mounts and we can modify them for a body rail. check out this link... http://www.armsonusa.com/arsigmoun.html

anything that doesn't look like a phoenix or karta clone.

Words like "Retro" and "Woodsball" really don't mean much without an example picture.

What you consider "Retro" or "Sleek" or "Woodsball" probably don't equate to other's preconceptions of those terms.

Please as to be posting graphical examples of what you mean by these terms for clarification sake?

I'm really afraid of this design turning into hot dogs and beans.

Whenever you try to get a large group of people to agree to what they're going to eat for dinner, it always ends up being the lowest common denominator...hot dog and beans.

I don't want hot dogs and beans...I want 15 day old rib eye steak

Woodsball would likely have rails built into the body or be able to put rails on it.

Retro would be looking more like an original style micro with a smoother sleeker look. Without as much milling.

I for one would like to see a mix of the micromag 2000 body and a karta or phoenix. A removable breech(like the x-mag) would be very cool, but would probably add considerable cost. I would also like to see the valve be fully supported on the top and bottom. Just my two cents.

[Whee McGee]

Judging but what was said, I voted for Retro, as I'd like the body to be simple, with smooth and well-defined lines, and very easy on the curves.

Essentially, simple and square.

That being said, I browsed through the design thread and some people came up with a very good point; The design should attempt to try something new and innovative.. I'm sure not everyone will be happy with whatever design you guys come up with, but that's to be expected with any design you guys can come up with.

Have fun with the body design you guys. I can't wait to see what you come up with.

Sleek.



I get SO many comments on this body it's not even funny. Really, it's not complex at all, just that little bit of milling by the detent and that's it. Everything else is smooth machine...

[Dend78]

i play woodsball thats it but i dont need to make it looke like another M16 clone or G36, dont get me wrong they are cool but everyone does it, i like to bring something different to the table when i play im going sleek and smooth

[Sumthinwicked]

i love powerfed micros hense why i want this LOL retro baby

[MANN]

This would sell bodies

1 angel detents
2 angel threaded feedneck
3 tall enough to allow for emag lowers aka no more plate for the lowers
4 rtp sear
5 rtp length
6 mill so that it doesnt require a "front block" for emag lowers.
7 mill under pockets for ule
8 stick with the "classic" look. Not a copy, but along the same lines. Dont put rails on them. That is for the cast alum tippy people. We are using a marker for quality and durability. Not for agg ness or snipering (we all know there is no such thing regardless how many scopes/flashlights you put on it)

IMO the original ptp micros were very apeasing to the eye. I [don flame suit] dare to say that I like them better than the chord, delera (or however you spell it), ripper, or IT bodies. IMO it is still not as sleek & sexy as a karta or warp X, but goes great with the "muscle marker" theme (similar to muscle car).

Depending on my financial situation I would like to pick up a new ptp body. I wouldn't care to have a new version of:
