Rumors are ICD is getting back into paintball again now that the infamous Smart Parts electronic patents have expired.






Thoughts ?

Anyone care ?

What about you Doug ?

[Nobody]

They have not contacted me about it yet. I might contact them for some subcontractor work though.

I see this as a positive step. More gun options mean better competitive market. Hope that ICD has been paying attention to where thr market has gone in way of trends, i.e. hoseless guns, softer on paint.

If I had to guess, this will be more of a pl project on a an existing marker. I don't think they will come out swinging with something completely new in design.

Werent their guns fairly inefficient air-wise ?

[Nobody]

Yes and no. The earliest Freestyles were ghastly on efficiency. As bad as a mag if not worse. As the line progressed from the 1st FS to the FS8, it could do 1200+ shots off a 68/4.5k. The PM is as solid as other stacked tubed guns like Timmies or Egos. I can tune a B2K to vet upwards of 1600+ shots off a 68/4.5.

While having great efficiency is one less thing to worry about, normally you will barely carry more paint than you can shoot. So having a gun that could shoot a case, do you actually carry a case on the field? Plus, with more HPA at fields and even better fill stations, is getting a fill to top off your tank, that much a problem?

Their previous incarnations & private label offerings were always people doing their guns, versus ICD doing their version of someone else's.

Now, the question is better asked is, is this teaser showing a face lift of the FS8 or PM(the last guns they produced) or is this a newer design? I am sure that ICD had acid in their mouth as they were forced out of paintball due to Jerry's health concerns and by the SP lawsuit & royalties. So they might have been secretly working on this for the past year in anticipation of this event, where they can finish on a high note or how they wish to go out. There was a progression in the line(i should know, i am a ICD nut) and every concern(except for the regs-they had the poopiest HPRs, but the LPRs were salvageable) was addressed.

So i am happy to see the interest back in the company.

I carry 4 - 185 round pods and a 260 hopper = 1k paintballs.

May carry more at Dreaded Legends though.

Who makes a 185 pod? I'm very interested in that.

Pinokio used to.

I bought all the Ebay seller had when I realized they were going extinct.

[barkingspider]

Nice, they aren't too far away from me
