MacDev Cyborg Video - I made a vid! yay!

[mark_426]

Oh yeah one more thing, what program are you using to analyze the sound patterns to get bps? I have GoldWave but manually counting peaks in a one second area is weak and not exactly accurate.

Thanks.

I would like to know this too.

Also - Fragtek, please hide your sig all but one post per page, makes it slower and longer, and the new format doesn't help. Not trying to flame, just a suggestion

I edited them out just for you :) If you have cache setup on your browser once the image loads once on the page it will load the rest from memory, but I took em out anyhow

[the electrician]

is it just me, or does that look like a tribal? or perhaps a defiant?
how does that gun operate? open bolt, ram/hammer design?

[1stdeadeye]

Very nice. The cyborg looks kind of like an Impy/Bushy. Who makes it? LInk?

BTW..That English Video "Bloody Fast" That kid was firing FAST!!!!

[Load SM5]

The cyborg is MacDev, the accent was probabaly Aussie since MacDev is a Australian company. I got the opportunity to shoot a coupla hopper through a 'borg the other day and it was niiiiiccceee. Despite the trigger being set up to someone else's preference, I could rip some very impressive strings with it and it had no kick whatsoever, so it was easy to keep on target. It was a good bit lighter than my SFL, and a bit taller, but not quite as tall as an Imp. It felt very solid and well put together.

I should be getting mine in early this week, so expect some pics next to various markers (namely, Matrix, 2k1 Angel LCD, Cocker and X-Mag) as well as a vid or two.

And yes, it's an open bolt ram/hammer design. Dual ball detent, break beam eyes.

[paintpiggie]

do some close ups of the gun shooting.
so we can see the paint actually shooting out of the barrel.

also of the thing you're shooting at.
so we can see how long it takes from splat to splat.

just to get a good feel of how fast it really shoots.

im unimpressed.


altho i know nothing about the gun such a price and things, but unles its WAY cheaper than some high end guns....i dont see much potential for this marker

[TeamNausea]

Load you should video you with that cyborg. From what i saw at the chrono box lol you at least got that fast prolly more.

Price: $980 (USD)
Efficiency: ~2000 shots per 68/4500
Weight: 2lbs 3oz with barrel and reg
Eyes: Breakbeam

The kick has been refered to as "Matrix-like"

I dunno about you, but sounds to me like a winner to me. What does do other "high end" guns have that this doesn't? Only 3 other things I can think of: LCD screen, adjustable modes and several hundred dollars more.

[TheDuelist]

Cliffio- I'd be interested to know if you have ever fired one?

Everyone has their own opinions but from what I have seen the marker is starting to catch on somewhat. I absolutely love mine and have yet to have a single problem with it. It is extremely easy to maintain and is really efficient. I am, by no means fast on the trigger so I will never know the full potential of its speed but I get the eliminations when I need them. It is a very stable firing platform which helps with accuracy.

WOW your cyborg is TERRIBLY slow compared to mine, i didnt makea video and prolly wont but dam.. adjust your settings i know its wit your stock stuff but mine stock ripped 3x faster...and no they dont bounce

i say its unimpressive, i didnt say its not a decent gun....some of you have me confused, thinking maybe i am attacking this gun or its owners or whatever....but in todays $1000+ range of guns, this gun seems to come a little late....you've already got tons of people with timmys, angels, any numerous smart parts guns, dye and their line of guns, and the butt load of e-cockers.....all in similar price ranges. i doubt if many people having already shot any gun mentioned before will trade in their year old GZ timmy *for example* for one of these cyborgs. not to say of course that some wont. it seems this gun will slip under the radar of most, either because its not as widly distributed(sp) as many of the others, or its not hyped up enough or for whatever numerous reasons.

i can say the same for my current gun choice as well, so going back to what you said,

Everyone has their own opinions.

its not that im bashing this gun, dont get me wrong, it just seems very similar to anything already out there.

I have fat fingers, i'll never be able to fire this gun to it's maximum potential, another problem but 16bps keeps me quite content It's accuracy, efficiency, and recoillessness(sp?) appeals to me more than anything else (yet it is a HELLLLLLA fast gun if u can rip a trigger).

Don't take this as a flame, but you're honestly not making sense. You're saying the marker is unimpressive because it's a newcomer to the scene basically. Yes, there are some timmies that are in this price range (namely the older models), you can build a nice electro cocker for this much and the new Fly A4 (the only Angel IMO that can compete with it) are much more expensive.

The only marker that I can possibly say is on par in almost every way is a Matrix. Price, eyes, efficiency, sound... the "big" difference being weight.

Fly A4's are several hundred dollars more, as is an Alias. E-Cockers are similiar in price and size, but the eyes may not be as good (reflective vs breakbeam) and generally have more kick.

Let me put it this way... in your opinion, what makes the other markers better than the Cyborg?
