Just Got new Interceptor

[viper_ssc]

I recently traded my Freestyle for an Interceptor. I think it was a great trade.

Not many people have heard or have used an Alien Interceptor before, so I decided to write a small review of it comparing it to a Freestyle.

Interceptor compared to Freestyle. First of all I noticed the Interceptor was more efficient. From the 1000-1200 shots I would get off the freestyle I now get about 1400-1600. These are from a 68/4500. The Interceptor is a lot louder though, but the Freestyle is like one of the quietest guns so pretty much all are a lot louder. The trigger feels a lot better on the Interceptor than the Freestyle, in my opinion at least. The Interceptor comes stock with a WAS board so thats a bonus. It also comes with a CP reg standard. The Interceptor is about 2 ounces lighter with barrel stock than a stock freestyle with barrel, Freestyle-2 pounds 11 ounces, Interceptor 2 pounds 9 ounces, for all those who are really concerned about every ounce. So from my experiences the Interceptor is better than the Freestyle.

And finally, pictures of the Interceptor


And one of it disassembled.

You went from an ugly gun, to a really ugly gun.

Needs a good amount of milling done.

yeah, the gun doesnt look as bad as people seem to say. i mean, guns just are getting more and more flashy. if you took that gun 10 years ago, people would probably say its pretty cool. that being said, its looks could hold it back. if they were a bit more aggresive with the milling, find some way to add a bit more bling to it, it might become a popular gun, because i've also heard many places that htey perform well.

People, get over aesthetics for a moment. Go read something by Wilde if you must.

Thank you, viper_ssc, for the review. Your numbers on the efficiency comparison are appreciated. I'm assuming this means you've put paint through it. Can you make any comments about the "hype" over it's precision due to backspin? I presume that since you didn't post anything about it in the initial review, there is no obvious improvement.

he saved FOUR LETTERS! F-O-U-R LETTERS!

ugh.

and, yes, its ugly.

I plan on getting a video in the next few days. I also plan on making myself some new eye covers. Thats the only think I dont like about it, the eye covers.

Well I was shooting the other day and there was a lot of wind and so I couldn't really tell the real accuracy and if the hype was true or not, but I don't believe it is.

this gun just screams BS. Jack rice and Jim drew in the same marker, scary combo. i cant see how its possibly better than a FS. its bigger, it kicks, and im sure it isnt any where near light on paint as a FS.

Viper_ssc posted his review of his personal marker based on his personal experience and observations. He backed it up with quantitative data. If you want to ask him about physical dimensions, recoil, and "lightness on paint," please phrase it as such rather than stating grand, unsubstantiated opinions, which is a basic definition of hype (which AO has thoroughly demonized).

Or, obtain a Freestyle (if you do not already have one) and obtain an Interceptor, then make your own comparison of the two. If you do this, I would suggest that for your own edification you compare quantitative results and not simply a "gut feel."

Thank you.
