New pistol at IAO

[zackzel]

I looked at this at IAO, I must say it was pretty sweet. What a scenario gun. It even had a nice balanced feel to it.

Looks pretty cool, being internally fed with a magazine is a definate plus, I can see this being very popular with the scenario crowd. Personally I'd probably buy one and a few extra mags and play like that, I like playing with pistols and usually have a blast when I'm playing with my PGP or PT Enforcer. I'm very glad that they made the pistol at least appear to be smaller, not to mention that it's nice that it isn't another Spyder clone with an abreviated bolt and striker.

I personally hate all paintball markers that resemble guns...I always thought I was playing paintball not trying to assassinate a friend...IMO mil-sim paintball players should switch to airsoft...(Im not sure if that was harsh or not )...But you know what its all fun and gets...until someone gets shot but a confused cop, that is...

i could easily say that same about speedballer types. Go jump in a monkey cage and fling poop...but i love paintball to much to hate on any one style.

I actually spent a day at IAO today wandering around waiting for some of my friends (who wanted an early ride home) to finish up a few games. I thought this pistol to be great. Well I had heard this pistol "resembled a glock" it was apparent to me at a glance from ten yards away it was not. Does that mean it is not a valid point that someone could get shot? Not at all, but its not as real as I think some of you may worry. I am told by its promoters that it gets about 24 rounds off a twelve gram. There is a rear velocity adjuster as well as a bleed valve in case pressure spikes. The barrel is easily removeable. Due to a noticeable crowd at the tent I did not get into the mechanics of it, but from what I saw the quality of materials and fit of parts was very good.

I liked the idea, a quick change pistol gives those of us who occassionally want to try out pistols a way of doing it and having options on field. I did not buy any today, but I have the number.

Looks to me like it's a funky crossing between a Glock (trigger frame) M9* (exposed barrel through the false slide assy) and an IMI Desert Eagle (Boxy rear end).

*The M9 is the military designation of the Beretta Model 92 combat pistol

I'm actually kinda curious as to where the magazine release is since it doesn't look like it uses a cross bolt or lever style release (Sig Sauer / H&K ).

Hey Lohman, did you get a chance to feel the heft of one of these things?

that roxors my boxors! i want one!

They were heavy, but not uncomfortably so - I did not weigh one. The grip frame was nice, and they seemed to be decently balanced and well thought out. The amidexterous safety was something I did not expect to see for instance. I wish I had had time to take one apart - the company had several just laying on the table for people to look at, I did not test fire it because I did not want to be in the way. The booth was very popular.
