    SPONSORSHIP - larger companies can afford to give away a gun or two (if you make 1000 you can loose 10 or 20 no big deal). The small companies cannot (if you make 100 giving out 10 or 20 isn't really doable). Thats why the larger companies get more pro teams as a general rule. However, in this case I have little to now knowledge of the NXE and past experience with system X is that they do not produce the best markers out there.

      Both guns are under the NPS Company "umbrella". With the exception of looks, they are pretty much the same gun.

        Alias bodies are milled. Eyes are eyes, and, my experience, WAS eyes suck. The frenzy board is better than a WAS, but, again, thats my opinion. I have a WAS in my GZ, and it is an awesome board...but, I dont think its better than the frenzy. BL was using WAS boards in some of his guns, until they designed a better (more true), board.

          how about this?


          its all preference....

          youll never be able to settle any of these things once and for all, but your more then welcome to get your opinions


          im not really one to have a strict moral code against knock-offs like some others do, i dont mind them

          i cant compare really, as the only aliases ive shot were in pretty crappy shape due to "user geniousity"

          it does look pretty cool, but im sure the nme costs a few hundred less to make then what they are charging i might consider one if they were like 600

            They probably ARE the same gun.

            Knock-off doesn't mean worse quality. I used to workautoparts and was amazed at the stupid markups people would pay to get brand name filters, tires, wipres, etc even though looking at the manufacturing codes you could tell that the store brand and teh FRAM, Goodyear, etc. were made in exactly the same factory.

            The Taiwanese cockers were EXACTLY the same as those being sold by WGP. Only the colours and labels differed. That's often the case with store brand. THe lower price is not lower quality. It's the price after all the costs of advertising and promoting the brand name are removed.

            Heck some true knock-offs are BETTER quality. Cocker tolerances were/are garbage. High quality copies are much better.

              It's been my experience with system x accessories that they are total crap. I will never buy another system x product again. I don't know if that carries over to the Timmy or not tho.

                Well, I don't think that "Knock-Offs" are always worse than their predecessors; however, System X has continually gotten poor reviews from players that I've met, as well as online reviews. I would recommend the Bob Long Timmy over the NME, myself.

                    hey im the owner of nme

                    im the owner of the nme and trust me i love the gun and i really love it because i bought it myself and thats gr8 for me my parents by me everything so i care for this thing like crazy. but the was i like better my opinion. i didnt have the money for a timmy and i wanted something no one has. trust me the nme is a marker u have to see and shoot i had a line a grc in ny shooting this thing. not one bad comment and got 3 kids to buy one they cant wait to get em. this thing is ultra fast and pictures dont do justice for this marker. and system x has changed alot totally different they are helping alot now. and actually to keep there customers happy they are giving the nme owners new feednecks new spring kits and everything for free. the nme they took alot of things they didnt like about the timmy and did it. intimidator is backing it up and considering theese guns are selling for 850. there such a better deal and come with was and everything. oh u guys gotta buy the grips so much better than dye stickies. and i love this thing and bob long is backing them up they havent had any problem saying bad things about the nme. and the nme bolt is 2 inches shorter moves lesser. and wat timmys run at 85-100 psi. my nme runs at 60psi and thats quite a bit of psi running it since were only counting to 60. well i love this guns and i dont think people should judge it until they see it. go to pbnation go to the system x forum part and read ull be pretty impressed! and im not saying it so much better than alias just my opinion is and i get 1400 shots on a 45/4500.

                        System X is sending NME owners new spring kits? Sping kits, you say? If I recall correctly, last time I opened up my timmy there was no springs anywhere but in the regulators, if those even count. And lots of people run their timmys as low as 60psi. I run mine at 65-70 psi no problem. Your argument = defeated.

                          If you are happy with the nme that is all that counts. I own an alias right now and I love it, but the nme looks even smaller than an alias. I have never seen an nme in person, but they look nice and I've heard they are pretty quick and efficient like a timmy.

                            yo

                            pants is dumb no offense but the timmys dont have same lpr and system x regs have always been nice i even admit some of there old stuff was cheesy but now its pretty nice. the nme lpr has a spring in it sorry buddy and the nme is smaller by like 2 inches i think maybe less but it is i know that since a timmy is a spyder body and the nme isnt read on pbnation and no offense guys but none of u really have no comment because u havent read about them nor know anything about the nme im sure someone knows something but not enough and 2k2 timmys lol nme is so much better in my oppinion and a better buy. just my opinion and i love my gun. and luke man i think u should just grow up considering i wouldnt care if urs is better than mine or mine is better than urs. i do like the ripper thats hott but still would get nme over it cause of price but if i had 1600 bucks id get ripper. dont want to offend ne one here just wat i think. read on pbnation its review is about 15 people and is rated 10/10 so system x is keeping there customers happy and our doing something good with there products and this marker took them a really long time to make and make it right!

                              You are as ignorant as they get and completely gave into system x's marketing. The whole cycle fast thing is a joke. Any good gun is going to be able to shoot 15-20 bps. In reality almost no one can shoot 20 bps on a completely legal gun. Hell, on my timmy I can only shoot 13 max. I have gotten 14 once raking the trigger. Since when has lower lpr been good? Last time I checked less pressure=slower cycle speed. Lets think here. They say they shortened the cycle time, then lower the lpr to completely defeat the purpose. You have 60 psi pushing the ram back on forth on the NME, 80 on most timmys. The timmy in that sense will cycle faster. When will people learn, lower lpr=not always good.

                              I would NEVER buy a NME, the quality of the stuff that system x produces is simply horrible. Guess what buddy, timmy lpr and hprs BOTH have a spring in them. I don't know of any reg that doesnt contain a spring. Personally the whole, shorting of the cycle thing is a joke. I don't believe one thing coming from Jim Drew. His timmy was boards are decent, but he lies more then anyone I know.
