    Longbow?

    Anyone try the longbow feed system yet? I'm building a new mag, and probably going to make it an ETac. I'm thinking of getting a Longbow feed system. I'll switch back and forth between that and my Warp, depending on the game. I was just wondering if anyone has used a Longbow feed and what were their impressions.

    People like them... same as any decent barrel system. I think I heard something about the more expensive version sparking every now and then? I can't swear to it because that just doesn't sound possible but I've heard that.

    But if it were me, I'd just buy a large-ish bore sized Ultralite and be happy.

      Are you guys talking about the same thing?

      If you're talking about sparking barrels, and not feed systems then you would be talking about titanium barrels. They can build up static and spark when you send a paintball through them.

        Yeah, I'm talking about a feed system here, not a barrel.

          I think FSU confused Boomstick with Longbow for some reason.

          Anyways, the longbow feed system is basically an extended PT mag. It's a spring fed magazine that's really long. I'm guessing it should feed just as well as a spring fed pistol magazine. The Longbow srock looks sweet too.

                I was talking about the longbow barrel kits. I was not aware that there was a feed system named the Longbow... I'd be interested in knowing more about that. Sorry for the confusion.

                    To provide a bit of clearification: I have a Titanium Longbow Barrel (full kit), it does indeed spark at times. Quite fun to hear: "he's shooting fire!". Now back to the real discussion about the Longbow Feed system.

                      Ah, I forgot about Longbows. How do they spark though? The inserts are what the ball passes through. The back of the barrel is titanium, but the ball doesn't come in contact with the back peice since there's an insert in between.

                        I love how that looks, says on their site that they are gona start shipping in 4 weeks. I cant wait to see some of these around. I would love to have one, but no one around here plays woods enough to get it.

                        edit, i seen one place on their site that said it was shipping in 4 weeks and they was taking preorders and yet this picture says now shipping... So anyone know if this is out yet?

                            I agree. It's got all for the "coolness" of the Longbow but gives you much more in the way of fire power due to the amount of paint you can shoot before reloading.

                              That's awsome. This is actually the first time something has made me consider buying a tac1. Except for that sweet e-tac with the camo job.
