    Anyone own one or going to get one of these?

    I am going to sell my mag and try to save up to get a Dragon Intimidator. I love my mag but I would like to get a lower pressure gun that is electroneumatic. It is also cheaper than a E-mag/Extreme/Angle. Is there anyone of you guys who have gotten one or planning on getting one. If you don't know what I am talking about I put a picture below of one.

    Yup, according to rumors, the milling makes it shoot further, faster

    Low pressure is a myth, regardless of what PSI goes into the gun, the ball is hit with a small amount of the total.

    All low pressure does, is push the moving parts around with less stress. It has nothing to do with the shooting of the ball.

    However, that is some sweeet milling on that Timmy, but the clamshell frame looks really cheesy.

        I don't mean low pressure to shoot with less of it, I just like it because it conserves gas in your tank. For example my friends Cocker shoots at 90psi (no joke). When my mag stops shooting because of a lack of air he can get at least 1 to 2 more hoppers out of the tank. The reason is because mags shoot a lot higher psi, thus requiring more air to recharge the gun. Wheras my freinds cocker only needs 90psi to re-cock the gun so more air goes into shooting the ball and thus conserving air in the tank.

          There is 2 guns I have seen that shoot with low enough pressure to not be able to break a ball, a free-flow (25psi) and an epic (not really cuz of low pressure but I just had to throw it in there ). Everything else is pointless. I would go for the GZ timmy before that thing though.

            ugh. i think the GZ timmy's are ugly as sin. i'd definitely go for the dragon before the GZ. does low pressure really provide such an improvement in gas efficiency to warrant buying a marker that utilizes it?

              Not at all. In all honesty, you will be burning a lot more air up due to the low pressure. You need more air at a lower compression ratio to operate your Dragon Timmy. I shoot a LP Timmy and I need at least an 88 Cu in tank for my marker. Timmy's are gas hogs all the way around.

                check out the new pics over on pbnation of these (http://pbnation.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=80421). they made some changes to the trigger frame and have different milling on the side panels. almost wished I would have waited to get one of these instead of the GZ, but these are supposedly limited to 250 being made.

                of you can afford one get it. I love my GZ and the dragon is pretty much the same preformance wise, just looks better.

                  Four of my teammates have the GZ's and I absolutely love them. If they have already sold out of the the Dragons that they are going to make I might as well get a GZ (I just will have it anoded). The only thing that I don't like about the GZ is that it only comes in three colors (I have seen online stores that offer three colors) Bead blasted Grey, Bead Blasted Blue, and Stock Grey. I would love to have a black/blue/grey fade.

                        All I can say is that one of the few companies that can do LP right is AKALMP. Who else can give you over 2000 shots off a 68/4500?

                            ive got a gz intimidator and i love it. The oonly difference between a normal dragon and a normal GZ is that the dragon is

                            A. very detailedly ugly
                            B. Has an uncomfortable Clamshell frame
                            C. Costs 300 dollars more

                            I chose a gz. see a dragon in person, and a gz in person and u will buy a gz. I did, after a lot of gun gropeing.

                              also, with your low pressure coments. It seems to me that mag forms are always bent out of shape on low pressure. I mean yer guns fire the ball at a very low pressure so calm down. INtimidators are VERY gass effiecnt. Also a dragon shoots at 250 psi stock, you see the silver volumizer on mine, those will be comming out soon, they make it shoot about 210. Low pressure does help on ball breaks with very brittle paint. you can tell by sticking a high pressure old cocker next to a low pressure freeflow or sumthing. Fire one shot at a time, very slowly with VERY brittle paint, like hellfire. Eventually one will break in the high pressure cocker. Ive looked into it, and done some testing myself. I do belive in low pressure. It might not help acuracy but it certialy doesnt hurt when it comes to breaks. ALso the gas efficeny coment, people make the same argument about HPA and N2. But who wants to use C02 because of it. Thanks you
