im not hating but those dont even shoot. might as well build a rot iron fence with that polished crap.

[Frizzle Fry]

Actually, all but one or two of them shoot. I think there are plenty of $1400 Egos that were bent beyond function after an "average" digger diving into snake... Those aren't nearly as pretty and they cost more. Nevermind the Xmags that never see the field, but rather spend their time hanging on walls and having their beauty observed, or the new "super-guns" purchased by weekend warriors to be shot twice a year.

You don't buy a 1950s Ferrari to drive it to work every day.

I own one of Dans triggers and it's one of the most functional and comfortable (not to mention beautiful) things I've used on the field to date - his markers are quite literally the stuff of paintball legend; spawning more internet rumors and myths than anything else paintball-related that I can think of (except that VL concept marker with the built in compressor, maybe).

If people built markers to be uber functional and only that, they'd all be matte black tubes covered with some sort of sticky wrap and a nondescript regulator - most of the time that's not the case; people pay hundreds to add beauty (or their idea of beauty) to a marker with accessories that don't offer increased functionality or ergonomics but in fact often hinder the performance of the gun. Dan just seems to be having a poke at those people in the same media that the average paintball braggart uses - a self promoting YouTube video.

trigger?

eeegh

Jealousy is a very ugly emotion. It makes anything I dont have or cant make a piece of crap. Even when they are really hot.

I love those markers and they are hand ground and filed.

cup of tea

just not my cup of tea not jealouse mr hill.

[maniacmechanic]

Dan's been way ahead if the curve for a long time , those who yak about him don't have a clue , most can't even spell Autococker let alone know what one is or have ever owned one

hey what's a hyperframe ???

& no one calls him Mr Hill ( unless they are talking to his Dad )

touchymechanic EDIT

touchy touchy . i do know what an autococker is played against many back in the day. sorry to have struck some nerves. maybe i should uuummm said it in a different way.
I agree they are interesting pieces of Art. obviousely he has a great love for airguns as do we all, thats why we are here. i just prefer function vs fashion. sorry to have upset anyone here. i guess freedom of speech is not allowed? oooops my bad i guess its a

[hill160881]

just not my cup of tea not jealouse mr hill.

That's what I would say to.

Do you know weather or not any of those markers function? Guessing about the functionality from a picture is foolish Nor would I question a master.

And no, speach here will be taken completely out of context here. it is AO after all.

[Frizzle Fry]

i guess freedom of speech is not allowed? oooops my bad i guess its a

Totally allowed. You don't like how they look, I do like how they look, no biggie there - thing is that (with the exception of one marker #4, often referred to as the "Skele-Cocker" but officially titled "Mad Cocker Disease) they do work. I don't see how they'd be any less functional than another cocker or mag, other than how much more sad you'd be when it acquired a little bunker-rub. According to todays standards (as touted by some) the fact that they're so light probably makes them "better".

Whew, that video certainly has put me in a hot spot. At times, I thought about just deleting it and being done with it. I'll be the first to agree that I come off very conceited and full of myself with some of the comments made in that video. If you know me, then you know that it is all meant more in jest than anything else. If you don't know me,(most of you don't) then I can see why you'd view the video as an audacious and overblown ego at work.

I'll be honest enough to say that I do feel like I'm in a league of my own with my work. I don't do this so people can think I'm special. I do it because it's incredibly fun to make metal objects that function in some way. Paintball guns fit the bill perfectly for me, and I can push myself to whole new limits.
Of course it's fun to show off after putting all my blood and brain cells into these. If someone ever does walk along with something better and boasts even more, they will have my respect.

I enjoy the comments, both the good and the bad. Some of the things people say are pretty ridiculous, and it makes me wonder what kind of issues are buried deep inside them to say what they do. If it ain't your cup of tea, that's totally fine with me, and there's no reason to argue about an opinion.

The only thing that really gets me riled is people saying that these guns won't work. I've been very straightforward about Mad Cocker Disease not being able to shoot due to structural weaknesses, but all of the others are fully functional. I just can't seem to convince people of that, and I'm not able to do a shooting video of them.

Like it or not, I may have slowed down, but I can't stop. I will continue to post my work as I see fit, and I will bear through it all. To those who don't like what I do and are able to formulate their opinion in interesting and civil ways, thanks. To those who enjoy looking at my work I can only say one thing:

Just wait until you see my E-mag!

Take care,
Dan@Triggernomics

There are plenty of Working "Wall Hangers" out there that aren't even a fraction of the pieces of art that your markers are!!
Keep up the awesome work!
There will always be haters... don't let them ruin it for the rest of us!!!

[river031403]

take it easy no hating wait...wait...am I? Nope!

autocockers blah. this is AUTOMAGS.ORG right?

Just poking fun sorry to have upset any of the AUTOMAG owners like i said earlier they are nice pieces of art im not hating. It takes a true craftsman/artist with a totally open freeflowing mind to create those pieces. It was the delivery the pride and conciet video that doesnt make them apealing.

lastley MR. HILL1234 pride and conciet are sins also.

[hill160881]

Thats hill160881 to you, Keep in mind you are speaking to two people who use hand tools and dremels to do the impossible.


And to Madhog, that video inspired me to try using files and hand tools to do the milling on this 08 PMR.
I did not do to much but it gave me new respect for how you do what you do. Keeping things strait and symetrical by hand can be really hard.




Thanks again for shareing your work with everyone and keep it coming.

CHROME DON'T GET YOU HOME. I guess chrome does'nt appeal to some. As for me the only chrome I own are my bass fishing lures.
