Cyborg, my first impression

[Steelrat]

No, I didnt mean manufacturer hype. I mean the type of hype generated by the buying public. I dont mind the company making positive comments about their product, that is to be expected. It seems that people start making outlandish comments about the marker, and proclaiming that it is the best marker ever made, etc etc.

I agree there, but your holding that against the marker,or at least that's how you stated it.

I don't mean to hold it against the product. I'm sure its a great gun, and I wouldn't mind trying it out. I just don't want to buy one while such claims are being made. Its just me.

I agree with you for the most part. I didn't believe everything I had read about the marker prior to buying. I feel the claims are overstated but also its not like the person stood there with the marker and counted every single shot made. I had red about the Cyborg initially on AO. After some research I liked what I saw. I started this thread to let people know what my impressions are of the marker. Do I think its the greatest thing ever? No. Would I recommend it to someone to purchase? Yes. In my opinion its well worth what I payed for it and I wanted to let AO know since I haven't seen anyone else post who has actually purchased one. I don't see how that is hype.

whatever happened to the 700 price range? @ paintbllkingdom, it is just under 1000. YIKES

Duelist, what you are doing is not what I would consider hype. People going on about how its the fastest and most efficient gun ever made, thats a bit hypish. But I love hearing about new guns, so I, for one, appreciate your post.

I don't recall it ever being quoted in the 700 range?

[felony]

Yep, previous posts that were pre 2004, I believe towards the end of the year had a price tag of 699

Mabye I read it incorrectly a number of times, cause i know I saw that

I had never read that but that might have been speculation at the time prior to release.

I finally got her to the field today and had a blast. I wanted to focus on the Cyborg so I left my EMag at home. I can honestly say I didn't have a single mechanical problem all day. The marker performed flawlessly all day long. It would have been a better day if I had bought better paint but even with the crap I was shooting the marker kept shooting without a problem. I definitely noticed a major difference in efficiency compared to my emag but I wasn't able to get an actual number since we can't get full 4500 fills at our field. However, I normally get 2-3 good games in with the EMag and today I was getting 6-7 without a need for a fill.

Another area I like about this thing is maintenance. The manual states the marker can be lubed as often as you like but is required at every 20k cycles making it a very low maintenence marker. I haven't pulled it apart for servicing yet but it really doesn't look too bad. A definite plus for those who consider themselves mechanicaly challenged.

There is an area that I had some trouble with but I already have a remedy on the way. My Evo 2 doesn't fit well in the feedneck even with the oring they have inside of it. I haven't sanded it since it fits well in my mag, it just doesn't sit tight in the neck on the 'borg. My solution was to order a no rise neck from CCM and take care of the problem altogether.

Overall the day went well. The Cyborg is light and well balanced making a dream to shoot. As I stated in my first post I am not a fast shooter but with this thing I was able to really get the marker up and make some really nice snap shots. If you get a chance check one out and see for yourself. The Cyborg is no slouch and deserves some serious consideration.

I wanna see Pics, Videos... more pics, heheh...

I have heard very little of the Cyborg, but would like some links to get more enlightened bout them just for my general knowledge.

I would also like to express my "opinion" not hype.
I am the brother of The Duelist. I can say that the Cyborg
is a real solid gun. As he said earlier, it is very light, and out of the box, looks beautiful.
As for how fast this gun can shoot, it rips. I was able to play in a few games this past weekend with it, and I definately give it a thumbs up. Anyway, like I said, just expressing my opinion.

How does the thing work? When I saw it at World Cup, I thought that it looked and worked like an Intimidator, and since Paintball Kingdom seems to be the place to get both the Intimidator and the Cyborg, it seems like a fair question.

I'm looking into a Backup for my SFL anyways, but if u ever decide to sell the Borg for whatever reasons, hit me up

What anno is it anyways?

Also... how many are in stock at PBK if they just got a shipment in less than a week ago?
