new WDP gun

[Flow_Tech]

WDP has a new marker under development called the G7 in prototype form. The decision to show the new marker was made today (11/12/04) at around 10AM. The new marker is slated for release in early 2005.

The G7 will differ from the current generation A4's and Flies in the placement of the solenoid, which will go from the top back of the marker to a side mounting scheme, allowing the body to be milled more. It'll also utilize the current generation '05 Speed trigger frame, rubber panels on the front of the minireg and front of the grip frame, and the battery will be a smaller unit than the current one in use. Rather than using a pull knob to open the roto-breech, a lever will be used instead.

It will also have a lighter hammer and a completely new valve system

The software used in this marker will be significantly faster than even the pro-Only 3.7 (current Flys use AF 3.5) due to improvements in the eyes and the programming that controls them. The eyes use a visible laser break beam system rather than the previous IR beam. This eye will be retrofittable to previous eye versions.

Eyewitnesses say the marker is so tiny that it resembles a large handgun. More information and pictures as they become available.

Steelrat and I were talking about it last night, it's sad that people don't open their frigging eyes and realize that WDP releases the same model with one more "upgrade" every month or so. But they will probably make a killing on that.

If it goes as nice as it looks and is available with a .45 here's a prospective customer.

yea,it basically looks like a milled down 05 speed,with laser eyes..

Geez....I love WDP to death....but they come out with so much products that now i think my A4 fly is old......but i dont know about this new marker....of course its gonna shot great but the look doesnt appeal to me....

[RogueFactoryKid]

Looks a lot like a freestyle to me, with FSP type milling around the ASA.

[slade]

sure looks nice!! but yeah i have to agree with lpb that WDP does release way too many markers with only slight changes (sort of like intimidators). i guess thats how you make the most money, by selling whole new guns with slight changes and different milling instead of upgrades...

[FallNAngel]

Oh wow, hey look.... another Angel is released... I never saw this coming

[Steelrat]

They list it as "lazer" eyes. Its just another marketing ploy, same as the "so powerful you can see them, and thereby violate the laws of physics" IR break beams. Goodness know what it REALLY is. The funny thing is that they did it in response to issues they were having with the angel eyes not shooting due to sunlight. Why does my viking never have those issues with it's IR eyes?

I have often thought about trying a wdp gun, but this crud just re-confirms why I stay away from them. Maybe WDP should try consolidating advances into new releases every 8-12 months in stead of junking their old product line everytime they come up with some new nifty idea.

I'll say it again. This gun will get you laid.

[Mosfet]

look how much aluminium there is around the breech! You'd think they'd work on milling that down a bit more.

Making the back smaller but keeping the front like that gives it sort of a hunchback appearance.

[OmniM]

I just wonder why you keep saying that the markers is "guns" ....

[Jackel411]

Mosfet please!!! They left that much aluminum there so they can make a " fly " version of it 2 months after this one flops.. just like the Ir3 and the a4

[Won Hunglo]

Not a prototype but a finshed product.

There are significant improvents over the A4 fly on this gun.

I just wonder why you keep saying that the markers is "guns" ....
