A slightly different method for getting 30bps

[Halliday]

That is awesome. I hope it works as cool as it looks.

No, my friends and I don't take out any of our realistic looking markers or airsoft guns in public. My friend got an AT4, and it looks quite realistic - if it were in shadow w/o a loader, it could be mistaken for an AR10 quite easily, but he always wraps in his jacket or puts it in a bag.
And the cost wasn't too bad, it's sorta the reason I came up with the idea - they had a 2 for 1 sale :) around $500 initially, plus the extras (stock, bipod, foregrip, materials). The kicker was the air tanks but I couldn't stop once I got going!
Kinda waiting to see what people's reaction will be when they get shot at with this... if you've ever been around an AT being fired, you'll know they're LOUD. Easily the loudest marker I've ever heard. And this is two!

By God thats a MAN's GUN!!

11 lbs with everything, thats it for that monster!? Thats how much the original Shocker with tank and paint weighed, I'd much rather tote that around though(AT) than the Shocker.

The AT85s were listed at 13bps on CO2. On HPA they run faster, 15bps. They're also surprisingly light weight due to their composite bodies.

When you're done playing with that, i'd love to see a shorty version.

The one game I want to go to I can't make, and I miss this. Will it be at other HS games?

Thanks for the comments everybody!
It should be making appearances at all the big games at Hell Survivor's this summer... probably Shatnerball 2 as well. Hmmm, think I can still play with the Automag crew if I'm shooting this? I'll just have to bring my Sydarm along as well :)
We probably would have made a shorty version, but the AT10's didn't go on sale until the month after the AT85's. I already have one AT10 body though, so I might be able to persuade myself to get another if everything goes well.
As for the RoF, we'll just have to wait until I can get a movie. I've heard of them going as fast as 16, with the minimum being around 12. I guess I could deal with 24 bps... if I had to.

Movie!!

I hope this works, I've never posted a movie before.
Sorry, it's a 10 meg download. I recorded on my Cannon s400, and that's what it gave me. I'm not sure how to change the format.
So, if anybody can extract the sound file, I'd appreciate a wave analysis of how fast it's shooting (remember to multiply by 2!!)

OMG Dude, don't EVER point that thing at me during a game. heh. Jesus imagine using that during a senario game for a defensive position. Awesome job dude.
