Now, now yes we know some Bud Orr, Ben Tippmann, Tom Kaye, That Palmer guy,Bob Long but theres other guns out there that we only no the manufacter who makes them but I'm wondering whos that single soul that introduced the gun heres some I'm looking for.

    WDP = John Rice

    Bob Long doesn't make guns, he just puts his name on them.

        Remember the old BL cockers and spyders he started off with?

        Oh yes he did make markers. And he made some of the best cockers you'd see at that time.

        Now is a different story, but at least he did at one point!

          what about those guns that come from bob's shop? He doesn't make them? I mean, obviously he doesn't build every one, and he probly doesn't build many if any of them. But seriously, if he didn't come up with the design of the intimidator (a simple yet effective design based on any stacked tube blowback or solenoid driven open bolt electro), who did?

            Haha, right. Bob Long came up with the Intimidator Design.

            Sorry, but the Timmy is a ripoff of the Impulse is a ripoff of the Bushmaster is a ripoff of the Angel is a Spyder on Steroids.



            They're all the same. Just depends on which one you think is prettier and like to hold better.

                  Shocker - "Adam Gardner" but it was originally made by PVI
                  Impulse - the Gardners again
                  Bushmaster - the Dobbins and the rest of the people @ ICD
                  Spyder - Arthur Chang but it is of course just a stolen blowback design ala f1 illustrator
                  Matrix - shrug, no idea..i think fatty, maybe had a hand in the original design.

                    so following that line of reason
                    who made the first stacked tube blowback...?

                    it'd be interesting to do some serious research and see how the progression went....of course there'd be a lot of filling in the blanks since no one is going to say "ya so that's when i decided that if i copy the spyder's design and change it here and here..."

                          The VM-68 / PMI-III was the first STBB. Of course, first on the market.


                          Which one was the first in prototype stage that didn't hit the market? Well I ain't tellin!

                          What I find to be the funniest of all is ICD's stacked tube. This is the exact marker that Kingman ripped off to make it's first Spyder back in 1996.

                          Yet the funny part is now ICD ripped off Kingman's EM1 and call it the BKO!

                          Went full circle jerk.

                            And the spyder is a ripoff of a paintball gun?
