AM-Illusion: Poppa gotta brand new toy!

[Jack & Coke]

Well... I'm not a poppa just yet (3 more weeks!)

In the mean time...

Woo hoo this marker is TOP notch quality.

It almost feels like a Carter.

It's solid and well built.

I just love the different feeding options I have available.

I picked it up here: http://www.stockclasspaintball.com/s...markersm.shtml

I can't wait until my new baby grows up and we can play father/son paintball!

Lookin' sweet. I wanted to convert a stock-class phantom to 'cocker threads, but turns out that it's too much work.

this takes 'cocker barrels, right? I'm just assuming since it's basically a sniper2...

[Muzikman]

Well, it does use cocker threads, but it is not the same as a Sniper II.

[Fred]

it never ceases to amaze me Muzik:
how so many people just jump onto the "its a sniper clone!" bandwagon...

Come on kiddies, do 30 seconds of research, there are at least 3 seperate threads on AO talking about this superb new addition to the pump-marker world.

I like em! not as much as my phantom or sterling, but they're top notch!

Nice setup!

Fred I never thought it was a sniper/cocker clone, but that's just cuz I've never stopped to look carefully at a pic of one or think about how they work.

Now i have no idea how the sear mechanism works, but from looking at that pic, it really does seem to be a sniper.

Back block linked with a rod going the whole length of the body....Seems to be a cocking rod that the back block pulls back. There are only so many different ways you can go from there, and at least from the outside, it looks to me like they went the sniper route

Very nice J&C.

[WARPED1]

Nice gun, but I'm sure it is a Sniper clone.

[Halliday]

1) The link is not working.
2) I like it a lot, Sniper clone or not!

[WARPED1]

Yes, it is a very nice marker.

[Prezents]

Nice but not a clone

On the out side it may look like a clone, but not on the inside...

From Crash STP (who has been VERY involved with the design, testing, and updating the AM-Illusion from the start):

I sat down at shatnerball with one of Bud's people and tore it apart and showed them the differences.

The biggest thing is they are using a design they copied from a sheridan design.

The major differences are:

• velocity adjustment thru the valve dwell
• no lug to adjust
• dual pump rods
• less parts overall
• the dimensions and specs are different also

Bout time someone booted Bud in the butt!
