32* new gun that dosent need a tank?

[p8ntball365]

no. they are not focused on safety. read the text carefully, and you will find this: "minimum of 300 feet-per-second"

hey bub, how about youmaximum

hah!! I love it. Great for them games out back in the woods with 3-5 buddies. Don't go through many shots so it's perfect, no air tank, rechargeable battery. If they can get the mechanics and battery , engineered to be a smaller package, I would def. get one, or even if the price is right for that one.

I kinda doubt battery life will get much better, what may get better is the utilization of that battery. Batteries have historically been behind, when it comes to electronic devices.

last longer, maybe not, smaller, most def. So instead of carrying a harness with 2-7 pods full of paint, you carry 2-3 batteries in your pocket/vest/harness type thing. Makes you more mobile. Man I have to see one of these things, maybe two, so I can tear one apart and look at it.

I think they were focusing on safety also, PsychoBaller. It is much safer to use a battery than it is to carry around a bottle shaped metal containing 4500psi.

Actually, Manike (who had a LARGE hand in creating this marker) stated that the aim of this marker is to allow people who don't have easy access to CO2 to play the game.

Right. This is the perfect solution for those who want to play, but don't have a field, pro-shop, etc within a reasonable drive. Just order some paint online, charge up, and go hunt your buddies out back in the woods. It's also something fun to play with out back when you do own all that other gear, and are just too lazy to go get an air fill. Obviously, at 6bps nobody is suggesting this is ready for anything more than casual, fun play. Imagine that ... having 'fun' while playing with your buds ...

Maybe if the battery technology doesn't advance, it could still be developed as a clip-like, quick release system, where you can change out the battery every 500 shots on the field in a second or two. I really don't see the issue here ... I spent more than 5 years hauling two spare 7oz tanks in a fanny pack, and those could take a bit of time to change, especially under fire.

manike...the guy on this forum?

hey bub, how about you read the text carefully

The entry-level, first generation EVolt™ paintball marker is currently capable of cycling at a rate of over six
paintballs-per-second with velocities up to the “industry standard” maximum of 300 feet-per-second. A fully
charged battery gives over 500 shots at a consistent velocity. The battery may be recharged in approximately 90
minutes, and can be replaced in seconds. The ambidextrous “Bull-Pup” design includes a picattinny sight rail,
removable clamping feed neck, “Timmy” barrel threads, angled foregrip and lockable velocity adjustment.
Accessories are currently being developed.
Production quantities are expected in time for the Fall/Christmas 2005 selling season.

no. read post #4 by jack &coke. clearly says minimum.

Wow, I never even thought of that, makes everything so much simpler for people wanting to play without access to airfills.

[p8ntball365]

Umm well read the .pdf It clearly says maximum

[frontrunner]

i'll stick wiht a good tank over a bat. your forgetting they get old and some time leak acid plus there arnt light either

[MadPSIence]

lmfao. that thing is huge and doesn't even have a hop on it. Good luck seeing that at NPPL. Any idea how frikken loud it would also be? Think small air-compressor. How much guts does it take for a compressor to get 800 psi out of the atmosphere? lots! I want a video of this thing.

[SteelSoul]

That looks kewl to me
Makes me want to get one shoot it a few games and then store it for ol school ball in 5 years

Ya, definitely looks like a tourney gun to me Honestly how many 300 dollars guns do you see being used in the nppl? Almost zero.

I have to agree on this. Talk to your buddies who don't play paintball - ask them if 500 shots in a single day is sufficient and they will likely tell you yes. For the vast majority of the new market this marker will have a lot of appeal. Who wants to keep CO2 around, or the restraints of nitro? THis is simple - plug it in and play, that will have a lot of appeal to a lot of people.
