Remember theses?

[Rope a Dope]

Man theses were bad. It was such a "breakthrough" because at the time semi autos were expensive and this cost around $299 which was the cheapest semi made at the time. I remember splitting teams up by "ok they have 4 pumps already so put the semi auto on that side" so having a semi was a big deal, then someone I know bought one of theses... oh man,, lol

It kicked like a mule, the trigger was rock hard, it was loud, sounded like two pieces of sheet metal slapping together everytime ya shot it, it broke paint every other round and they broke.. oh did they break.. and nothing was standard in the gun, it had a million moving parts even though it was a blowback and it just broke all the time.

Anyone else ever have one of theses? Brass Eagle had their "high end" guns that looked a lot like this, they looked sorta James Bondish and they always had center fold ad's in APG at the time.

This is why we need to invade Canada!!! hehehehe

What year

Ha Ha Ya I remember those. Was that 90 or 91?

I still have some of the magazines with the those ads. My first semi was a Poison, looked alot like the Golden Eagle, only smaller. The above description fits the Poisons performance as well.

Remember the Barracuda? I always wanted on of those. It looked cool :-)

i started playing paintball in the age when autocockers were considered a break through in technology.

but i noticed something wrong in that picture...isn't that scope backwards?

"Gravity Removes from Mainbody" - It removes gravity!!! AHH!

I also like how they state the velocity on the ad, lol

yes, i remember those. i have video from a 24 hour game in ocala in like 1993-4 of one of them actually working.

My friends and I were playing around those times..
We had a barracuda, poison, and a jaguar.
I had the misfortune of using the jaguar, I was young (still am I guess ) and I had to use 2 fingers to pull the trigger, those were the days!

[Furious333]

i sitll have one of those laying around my folks basement. A guy brought it in to get it fixed and never cames back to get is. it's not running and doesnt have the barrel.. but it's a vintage piece.

bob from the anhilaters?

[SpongeBobSquarePants]

Well that thing is totally pimp. However, I don't remember it I started playing when the angel LCD was the latest break through. I wouldn't mind having one of those though. :)

[Pacifist_Farmer]

man ...paintball was never so fun as when teams were divided based upon semi's and pumps

I use to buy 100 round bags of paint back then, and you only needed two or three for a weekend

::sigh::

and i guess some things dont change [HAHAHA]
