Steyr AUG Marker

[One4theDude]

I found this on the Tippmann forum - ATCPaintball

They're calling it the AUM - Army Universal Marker. Pretty cool, even though it's for a Tippmann. I think I saw this guy last year at Shatnerball II.



I wonder if they're going to make one for an AutoMag? That would be wicked.

Bad Idea. Talk about royaly screwing the image of paintball. Nope, as much as I hate to say it (cuz I don't especially like the looks of them), markers like the DM4 help keep paintball "public friendly".

That's cool.....wait no, just a waste of money. Why don't these people convert actually nice guns to cool milism guns instead of spyders and tippmanns!

I was never really thrilled w/ markers that are made to look like real guns either, even back when I was in to woodsball I still felt markers like that looked tacky. Maybe its b/c Im not into real guns...just my opinion.

I LOVE real guns, but I've always felt paintball guns made to look like real guns was so corny. Its just way cheasy for my taste, even if they do a good job.

I like how paintball guns have evolved into their own identity and usually dont look like real guns at all, they just look like paintball guns. I think the bright colors and tons of aftermarket mods and near endless customization options have turned the paintball marker scene into a miniature version of the hot rod/import scene. I think thats sweet A person can really have their own identity on the field without looking like some rambo wannabe.

Besides, thats what airsoft is for, and it does a MUCH better job at duplicating the look and feel of real firearms.

looks alot like the new rifle being designed for the services, im sure thats what they based it on.

[Konigballer]

its based of the Steyr AUG, its been around for years. This thing just looks like a cartoon version of it

Can't use HPA... plus still has a hopper sticking out.

Not real enough haha

[doc_Zox]

One problem is a conventional rifle design is dang hard to aim with a paintball mask on.

If you want to be realistic, and do the whole army thing, please play airsoft, its much better and cheaper for military stuff, when compared to paintball.

I don't mind markers that look like real guns. It will always be a niche market anyhow, and won't get terribly too much attention since it's a niche market.

I wanted to get into AirSoft for awhile, but honestly, it scared the poo poo outta me. The guns feel entirely too real. Not that I have a thing against real firearms, I love em and have been shooting since I was eight. Just too realistic to have fun with.

its called scenario ball, some of you need to look it up (damn i wish this roll eyes pic was harsher)

I still prefer VF Tactical cocker over that one... not terribly out of place on both speedball and scenario/woodsball
