New O3 Paintmarker, First Impressions?

**Halliday** · 03-02-2004, 07:08 PM

Looks: Bleh. Looks like a Spyder/Impy/Bushy thing.

Performance: Whatever. Let me see one work first. This comes from the makers of the HALO? How about making good HALO's then a marker? Sure, if it rocks then that's cool. How many times is it going to have to be sent back to the company for "upgrades?"

Honestly, If it hasn't been made and/or designed by Tom Kaye I really do not want it. Nuff said.

Before the flaming begins I've owned most of the popular markers today and while they are OK they weren't for me. Most I've gotten sold almost as soon as I've gotten them, one I gave away. I expect a certain level of service, support, quality, and simplicity. I get all of that from AGD.

The only 2 semi autos that I currently own that aren't made by AGD are a 99 Chris Cole Free Flow and a Dark Angel that is actually my wife's (I couldn't get a red X-Mag at the time).

It looks pretty good. But you guys are being hyporcritcal about exposed hoses. You own mags, which normally have exposed hoses. But I can't complain about that. As i have a mag and an a5 with response trigger. But I'll wait till i see it in action to see how good it is.

It may be a good gun or it may not , but based upon first impressions ....

From a design standpoint ,the gun looks like it was built by someone in their basement. The parts ASA, Reg , quick-pull assembly just doesn't flow with the design with body . At least they got rid of the ugly feedneck on the original pictures, too bad they can't anno parts to match yet

lets be honest the cocker has never been an engeering marvel.....

I dont know AGD..... I mean its a pbgun, but is it really unlike anything that is out there? is a spyder on a nice reg and n2 all that different than the most Uber 1337 splatmaster 9000?

I think I am a bad person to market to seeing as my favorite gun is a 10+ year old mag,

umm, could you explain where on a mag has exposed hoses? i just wanted to know...

**WARPED1** · 03-02-2004, 10:01 PM

From the valve to a gas thru, then gas thru to ASA.

**Chronobreak** · 03-02-2004, 10:04 PM

better question

HERES THE BETTER QUESTION WHY ASK ABOUT THIS MARKER IN PARTICULAR THAT ISNT COMMON OF YOU....anyways i dont mind the hoses it seems they went through some trouble to protect them maybe its a 3-way in front i dono i havent shot one or know how they work ide like to try one out butuhm they look kinda plain/ugly just another electro on the marker we dont need

OPINION

Tom, if you can make a pneumatic trigger system for my mag that makes my LVL 10/ULT/Retro live up to it's potential, I'll gladly pay the price of an lpr and exposed hose off the front. That's my opinion.

thanx

**paintballbeaver** · 03-03-2004, 01:06 PM

well in all respect odessy teamed up with dragun...

it is a spyder w/ an eye and the one kit nothing special here...

more or less a timmy. ... ... do we need another timmy?

**funkmunky56** · 09-11-2004, 10:33 AM

wow. reviving an old thread...

I'm currently considering picking up the display model O3 from the store Potatoboy and I work at (http://www.killerpaintball.com), just for something to screw around with. And, like the above post states...

I'd like to hear this thread's FOUNDER give his opinions on the O3. TK kinda left us hanging here, it seems.

Spill it.

Just Another Electro

Yep thats what i think of it to me it doesnt look bad but it really doesnt look great. I myself would prefer they not have external hoses because the look like a liability (sp?) otherwise it looks fine. As for 27bps or whatever you said i honestly couldent care less about any bps higher than 20 because bps isnt a huge deal to me. Also the upgraded board with new features well sorry thats nothing new its sorta an industry-wide standard by now. About the fact that they developed it in secret well im ok with that i guess it makes it a suprise anyway and i kinda like suprises. But my big issue which i always have with any gun is dependability if i cant depend on it i strait up dont want it hopefully this is a more dependable than "The One" my bud got that and well the eye sucked the fade really sucked the trigger felt unreliable and the gun seemed kinda cheap overall. I really hope this is better than that but like i said im not overly impressed at first glance.
