At the PSP/NXL tourney in Philly next month, the NXL Oakland Assassins will be sporting brand new, never seen before, redesigned Intimidators.

This marker will sport an entirely new body and fame, it will be the fastest, smallest and lightest Intimidator to date. Should weigh in at 2 lbs. or less.


Balance will improve with newly repositioned feed port and grip.

An all new main valve, sleeve, ram, bumper and cap assembly for improved flow, faster cycling and longer service intervals.

A new LP regulator mounted on a new reg housing that will void the need of an aftermarket volumizer. ( No more need for LP conversions or volumizer capatibility issues.)

LCD screen and buttons will be repositioned on the frame.

Lastly, there will be a few other changes that I will hold back and will release prior to Philly.

As a side note, I've been biting my tongue for the longest time and laughing at the peeps on this forum who say that Bob is only interested in developing new milling patterns for the Intimidator.

This new marker, which I'm not even sure if it will be called an Intimidator, has not been priced and has no set release date for retail sales.

Enjoy :)

Sounds pretty cool to me. This is something I may have to get.

[tranman]

How can they really call it an Intimadator if its completely new and redesigned? They really should give it a new name or something.

When was it a Spyder?

[Archangel Kid]

always :P... they were millenium bodies

[wobbles82]

Yes pretty Milennium bodies that can cycle and rip incredible streams of paint consistently...thats right. Only a few early Classics were Milennium bodies actually, and even then they had a totally new design INSIDE the body. Anyway, I think Bob realized that the Trixxies and other markers (lightweight mags anyone) are really closing in on em. With the new Speed out, who didnt expect a new design out? I will go to Philly to watch and hope to see this new "amazing" marker. I wasnt overall impressed with the new Shocker, but im hoping this will turn heads. Cmon...ULE development takes off, and now markers are trying to be under 2 lbs? Heh..heh.

I found this on the web:

Exclusive Interview with Bob Long

It is a MUST READ for everyone!



Regarding the Bob Long - Spyder connection:

...Bob set foot in the paintball industry with his own products when he could not get what he wanted from his distributors. He realized that there was demand for paintball products that were not currently available. His first product was his own line of Bob Long Signature Series vertical feed cockers. The STO Autococker from WGP followed it to the market one year later...

...Manufacturing his own products for almost 2 years now, Bob has a variety of products on the market, ranging from custom bolts, barrels, and triggers, all the way up to inline pressure regulators and tournament paintball gunsMillenium (available as a fully tricked assembled gun, or as an upgrade body

The BODY of the Timmy was INITIALLY BASED on what he had on hand... spare Millenium bodies. Why spend thousands of dollars designing and creating a brand new body, when you already have a ton of AFTERMARKET PARTS available in your warehouse? Makes sense to me!

As for the internals of the Timmy, as appears that this came as the result of the developement of the Defiant/Bushy, and NOT just sticking a solenoid into a Spyder.

Bushmaster 2000 and Defiant are almost identical in design except for a few key differences. The Defiant has a custom double finger trigger frame that features a fully adjustable trigger. The Defiant also comes with some milling and custom anodization. The interesting difference is that the Defiant takes cocker barrels while the Bushmaster 2000 takes Indian Creek Designs barrels. A big plus for current cocker owners with an existing barrel collection. Check out all of the features.

"then it wont be a spyder"

show me a spayder that will keep up to a good running timmy

yes yes yes we know that the first timmy was built on a bob long Millenium bodies but they are re machinied

#1 a Millenium is not really a spyder, it is an after market body for a spyder

#2 THE BODIES WERE RE MACHINED

#3 who really cares where it came from it is a fast quality marker

don't get me wrong I love my emag and will never get rid of it for a timmay but there are other quality makers out there and just because this one started life as a "spyder" does not make it any less of a terror on the field

[SIGSays]

hmmm what now? are they gonna throw an lpr onto there spyder? HAHAHA
