32* new gun that dosent need a tank?

Dude what is up with all the negativity? Manike, that marker is a tremendous idea. Not too long ago there wasn't a pro shop in easy driving distance where I live & it was one of the, if not the, fastest growing city in the US for 5+ years running at that time. This gun would have been exactly what my firends & I could have sued back then. Kudos to you & the rest of the guys involved in this & I hope it makes you all alot of money.

I have to say that while you guys are all talking about air being safe & what not, that is the most common source of injury in paintball. You get these stupid kids screwing with their tanks & trying to mod them & ****, then the next thing you know it blows off it's reg & smacks some kid in the face. The kid has to have reconstructive surgery, the other kid probbaly gets sued as does the mfg. & field owner (even if they are pirating some local woods).

You can throw your **** on Manike all you want, but I can tell he is sitting back laughing at your pathetic attempts to bring him down to your level. All I can say is you're about to get everything you deserve Man, it's a terrific idea & wonderful implementation & execution of said idea.

Oh BTW, I love the fact you made it look like a Steyr AUG.

post was in poor taste, ill swallow my pride.

Can you describe how the bolt functions? does it use a bolt. Pics of internals?

As long as it isn't too expensive, it's the perfect backyard gun. I've played a few backyard games, and I never went through more than 500 shots. You also don't exactly need to shoot lanes in a backwods game lol. 5-6bps is fine. If they can get it up to 10bps then it'll be a bit better though. Maybe come out with a select fire model.

That's pretty cool.

I like how it's modelled after the AUG also.

I think this is a great idea as long as it's improved upon which it probably will in time.

Another thing came to mind... Would it be possible to simply replace tanks with this technology? i.e. you would still have something similar to your tank now except it would be a 'mini compressor' coupled with a battery in the same pill shape.

I assume you wouldn't be able to just pop it onto any marker though...yet.

We have several different feed concepts in development/consideration.

Manike you're such a tease.

I don't have pure facts to back me up...but besides those few deaths from the cylinders coming off the regs, how often do you hear about injury due to the tanks? Now what our main safety concern is unimformed kids buying guns at their local walmart, and not wearing their masks. Or people not having barrel plugs/bags on in a no mask zone.
