What Did Tom Bring To Paintball??

Possibly Joey, but I don't know if that would relate to the vector since it had the system from it's very first design. The Matrix system definitely lowers the rof. With a cocker if you spring it correctly and set it up right you don't necessarily lower the ROF, but to get it at it's most gentle it probably would.

In many ways the vector was a gun ahead of it's time.

That stunning automag video! Riviting, the acting was supurb, Sisgel and Ebert gave it 2 thumbs up!

i may be wrong but didn't glenn palmer invent the first gravity feed semi-auto? i believe it was called camille.

I was going to ask that very same question.

Tom? Care to shed some light on this for us?

I'll take a stab at it...

Could it be because Camille wasn't a true semi-auto, but an automated pump? In essence, the Palmer guns (as well as Autocockers, Sovereigns, and so on) could be considered a "double-action" system; one trigger pull both fires the gun and pumps it for the next shot, but the actions are still separate, and can be done separately by not pulling the trigger fully ('Cocker boys call it "short-stroking").

It's a nitpick, I know, but it's the only way I can figure for AGD to claim the first gravity-fed semi...
