Check out the Nerve hype

[Steelrat]

Right, the extra $300 for the tank I can justify. Its the $1200 for the gun itself thats kinda hard to swallow. For that amount I can get:

Featherlight viking, at least, before the SP crap forced the price up

Unmilled Excalibur

DM4

Alias

Freeflow cocker

Nexus cocker

Xmag

The list goes on and on. I hope SFT isnt the only selling point.

[Blazestorm]

But it is!

Our bolt has an o-ring on it, we shall create hype for a year or two, then release it at 4-5x what it costs to produce, then sue other companies for copying the shocker design!

[Skoad]

from what i've read about it, it sounds like a dm4 copy

why do you think it would not perform as good as any other listed high end gun? Just becasue it is hyped dosent mean its not a good marker, im shure people will be drooling over them soon, i fo one thin it will be as good as any of teh listed markers and just be another option in the high end personal preferance choice thingy

Technically it doesn't. The o-ring is in the breech itself and the bolt goes through it. Wooooo... SFT... I still don't see the big to-do about it though..

[Blazestorm]

HAHAHA... Soo much better

As a note, Smartparts DOES own the Matrix design, so this could easily be just a matrix copy...

Im not saying it cant be as good. Im just pointing out that the only selling point seems to be the great accuracy afforded by the SFT. No mention of the IR ACE, efficiency, maintenance, etc. So, again, why is it worth $1200? Its a fair question.

I thought DYE did.

[toymyster]

First they put an o-ring around their bolt, then they'll suit every manufacturer that uses a bolt!!

[wobbles82]

SFT....wow..dumbest thing ever, with all this even actually added another Shocker to the list at pbreview.com. This time its not the 2003 Shocker...its the Shocker SFT, Jack and Coke, I think that little 1984 thing in your profile gives a hint of what is going on. Seriously though, the Shocker is a very accurate gun, and if the Nerve stays with the same system, then im sure it will also be. BUUTTTT , ITS NOT BECAUSE OF THAT CRAP SFT! Granted, they might have made some dumb excuse called SFT, I dont know why...to give a reason on why the bolt sticks on a stock unlubed Shocker, its sealed forward alright. They dont need it though. The Shocker follows a nice Matrix design but SP cannot accept that. The gun is accurate, BECAUSE THERE IS NO KICK. Wow. Smart Parts should just advertise, the gun doesn't kick, because as much as I hate Vision, Smart Parts quality control, etc., they actually do have a system and a marker that shoots very accurate, but they promote its accuracy for all the wrong reasons.

NOW with the Nerve.what do you have. There is a marker, (going off of design pictures and whatnot), LARGER than the Shocker, MORE EXPENSIVE than the Shocker, and NEWER than the Shocker (with Smart Parts ..this is always a bad thing) . So...why the cost? Did they include a bolt kit that doesnt require upgrade? Did they throw in a few of their nifty new warranty card system thingers? Did they somehow, MAGICALLY add to a design that virtually has no kick, ..have no kick..even more? I doubt it..highly. Its real sad too, some good quality control on a Shocker, and without a Newer Better Marker coming out to replace it within time, the Shocker really could have been the gun SP fans (and people who would prefer a Shocker without its fallouts) really wanted. Sad, sad sad.

Heres a leaked picture of Smart Parts super secret "Seal Forward Technology"...

Time to get my club out!

[MindJob]

If they are anything like the new shockers, then I better learn how to fix 'em. Cus I plan on making some money off of all the little 12yr olds who buy these things with mommies money then cant make them work.

Granted, ive only seen a handfull of the new shockers where I am, but the 3/4 of them seem to not be working by the end of the day. Im sure that any competent owner knows what they are doing with them though have minimal troubles....

Just my observation.

[DiRTyBuNNy]

HAHAHA... Soo much better

umm...and what noob told you that? Dye has owned the Matrix patents since last spring...

[Blazestorm]

They sold it to SP.

[DiRTyBuNNy]

They sold it to SP.

umm...no...they didn't. Who told you that so I can have Dye personally call that person to laugh at them on the phone..
