Oh goody a new Kingman gun!

[billmi]

I think Kingman has a script written in FORTH (only because it's an outdated obscure language, that some cool people still use)on a Timex Sinclair that randombly combines various bolt on accessories and anodizing colors, then picks a name from a list for the new model each month.

Every time they design one new accessory (like a new electronic grip with a different data display) the number of gun combinations that the program can generate increases geometrically.

Really? Last time I saw a Kingman fold-out ad, I counted and it was somewhere around 12. That was maybe 3 months ago.

guy had one at the field on sunday, looked purdy and shot pretty well. nice gun is all i have to say.

btw, sear tripping electros are revolutionary, kingmann was the first to give an electro trigger to a price everyone could afford

technically, that would be an autococker with f5 conversion, eblade, raceframe, or whatever the hell else is out there.

8 new guns in 3 months! Wow, they're cranking them out. Tom you slacker what's wrong with you?

ya i hate kingman. The products suck, i have a spyder and i am ashamed of it. To think that the only reason they sell them for 70 dollars (the compact) is because they are made in some shop by (probly) underpaid communist people in china. Unlike the good old AGD guns. Made by North Americans who take pride in their work, and research.

that sounds like the same program stephen king uses to pump out new books.

Sheesh... I wonder how many more markers they will come out with in the next 4 months... 10? 20? 1376866537348563?

with Kingman you don't really know how far they'll go... It's kinda like they're beating a dead horse.

Actually it was the Black Dragon that was first to market it in that price bracket.

Interestingly, a well known company in paintball filed a patent application on both using a solenoid, and using a pneumatic ram to trip a sear. They traded that patent application (which is, I believe still pending) to a company that was about to release a product that would be covered by the patent. The company that owns the patent application now will be in a very strong position if/when the patent issues, because it would cover almost all of the solenoid tripped guns out there on the market today.

mmmmmm carmen electra. i mean ummm. what were we talking about again?

Its not only kingman who does the change a little bit and call it a new marker but all manufactures do this but not at the high rate and which kingman does once a week or so. Take AGD for example great company they have what 6 markers, classic, mini, retro, emag, x mag and sydarm. But if you look at them all they are all basically the same thing you have a single tupe valve and bolt setup. But for every step up the marker gets better and better something new and improved is added (sounds like kingman but only better) the same can be said about wgp or wdp. I think kingman would get alot more business if they used the AGD approach get there name out of the newb line of markers and make more competitive one. I mean tippmann has equal sales and the 98 custom hasnt changed in years.

Also halb if you are compareing a electro cocker to a talon with a electro grip you are a complete and utter moron. I dont mean to flame but you cant say that you go get a elcetro talon and ill go get a eorracle and will see who wins. Saying what you said is just not being realistic

hahhaha this gun will just be the same as all other lame spyder guns there goin down the drain so they just try to throw out more guns so poeple will buy them........because everyone is into airgun designs, smart parts, and wdp

I would be very surprised if AGD, Smart Parts and WDP combined (not counting the Tippmanns that WDP distributes in Europe) come close to the total number of paintguns that Kingman sells every year.

Brass Eagle's annual report said that last year they sold just short of 1 million paintguns.

Neither of these companies may be on the high end, but there are a LOT more customers out there looking to buy low cost paintguns.
