*MacDev's New Gun!!! | The Cyborg.

[thecavemankevin]

sorry, just dont like it. and they thought the original shockers look like shoe boxes

[CpSuPeRkId]

wow im seriously impressed. it looks like its going to be a VERY nice marker. 30bps(which sounds about right for an open bolt electopneumatic which im assuming its going to be), 2 sided break beam ace which we all know is the best and most reliable anti chop system, a very nice look and shape(except it could use more milling which im sure they are working on). it but looks like an overall beast! the only thing i dont get is why they would make it though. i mean it does look nice, but why would people buy it over say a viking, timmy, nice impy, etc???? it uses the same operation as all those guns and also bushys, tribals, and angels. i mean the market is full of those guns and even though it looks nice, it doesnt really beat a nice viking for an example. vikings are cheaper, have was boards and break beam eyes, best air efficiency, NO maintenance, etc. what is going to make people buy this gun over all the others. i think they should have invested their time into what i think is eventually going to become the next phase of paintball gun designs which is the spool valve design like a matrix or 03 shocker. i hate both of those guns with passion but at least they are different and give people a variety of guns to choose from. just my opinion. either way i guarantee its going to rip like all the others out there.

looks like the bastard child result from a threesome between a cocker, timmy and an impulse......

As of 10/9/2003, the AU $ to US $ exchange is 0.6936, so the price in real dollars is: 1109.76. (Source: rba.gov.au)
Still pricey, but much more resonable.

oh, well not an angel clone, but a bushmaster clone! ahhh haha

id hit it

[Grasshopper]

Is that the MSRP? Usually that's higher, and it's not realeased either, so the price can very easily change.

Looks pretty cool, but it could use cut or two more.

too boxy plain, I'm not impressed by the looks. But if it shoots from what it is being said, that is a different story.

Strange... I fail to see the cocker connection.

I see another tall profile Bushy / Impy Clone.

Nice colors in anycase.. :)

[edweird]

Well I have never been impressed with Macdev's pricing...

Back when pricing some of their products we were highly unimpressed that the diffrence between dealer and MSRP are so insanly nominal it hardly justifys the shelf space.

For some good low pressure Bushy parts I still recommend them... but anything with a hefty tag on it we were less inpressed by.

[Grey_Goose]

MacDev products also seem to have problems if you don't play in a vacuum. That is to say, errant specks of dust tend to make their products behave poorly & erratically.

[Bolter]

I like it!! Would have to shoot it obviously but I think its phat!!

Wouldn't swap anything for my X-mag though. Of course.

[thei3ug]

the cocker connection is in if you take a bare cocker body, it will look just like that, down to the FAKE PUMP ARM SLOTS running down the side, the positioning of the feedneck hole is similar to their cocker style bodies, the "valve chamber" which looks to be the LPR...

it mimicks a cocker body, like a tribal. And is that any wonder, since

From the looks of it their even building a copy of the enferno, or maybe just an odd looking spyder clone.

[Adrenaline_Junkie]

Did you guys even care to look on the website for the price. There site does have the price in american dollars. It costs like 980.[URL=http://www.macdev.net/us/cyborg.htm]
