[AGD]

AO Army,

Well its not a mag so should I be interested?

Looks cheap, and poorly designed to me. I mean why would you want to use reflective eyes if you could easily use break beam which are a proven design that is much better. I don't like it at all.

I should post a pic

I really dislike the external hoses know that I see it from that angle. Looks like a glorified blowback with the one kit installed.

...stick with building BETTER hoppers.

Since this is a "first impressions" question, I thought some better pics would be helpful:

I think my spyder victor looks cooler. ( I do have a mag also) I am not a fan of the hoses either.

edit: it seems kind of cheap that they have the hoses out. I just think they could have done something, with a little effort, to get rid of them.

it does look better in the pics in spantol's post. still not doing it for me.

Why did they put external airlines when they could have just milled an air passage into the body?!?

It looks nice and all.. I have no idea how it works so can't really say much about it.

ewwwwwwwwwww. that thing looks like a damn spyder with some hoses and an lcd strapped to it. i cant believe odyssey wouldnt atleast add like some crazy milling or go with an open bolt electropneumatic design.

I think both the bushmaster and the worrblade do the same job, at the same price range. They also have better product support and proven designs. I personally don't like the gas fittings on this new Odesseys marker.

Not my next purchase.

hate how the back sticks out, and with the hoses it looks really janky. the body just pisses me off, and i dont even know, i just feel like throwing a rock at it for some reason. the trigger looks kinda crappy, and the feed neck being a diferant color makes me think of one of those old beater neons, with the on door the is lapis blue and the paint is peeling off it, and the rest is forest green, with the unpainted front and rear bumpers or door trim and handles. blech

Pictures are pretty meaningless. Any specs? Any idea how it works? Anything of substance?

Wow, pics

Show me the performance, what pressure can it take - what does it do that no other marker does (built in chrono I have heard - don't know, but does it regulate based on chrono readings, if not as useful as WDPs temp readings - I can tell if its cold or not thank you).

Can it fire 22BPS fully recharged for each shot with consistency? Is it consistent over the chrono? Does it have first shot drop off? Is it built solidly enough to play with?



BTW - now following the new directive, looks mean nothing, show me the performance.
