The Tac1 Pistol?

[Vicious6]

A buddy of mine just acquired one of these... it performs quite (surprisingly) well. Too bad I just ordered my WSP..

They shoot nice... Real solid in your hand and the accuracy is decent on them. Easy to fire off a string semi-accurately -- since you do get a little recoil with the "cocking" of the marker. The magazines have a check-valve, which is why you can eject them without dumping the CO2... They also strip within seconds, too. VERY COOL.

Looks like a fun pistol. If it is called the Tac1 that's a little tacky though (no pun intended :) ) I mean, come-on, just because you "can" use the name of a gun already in production doesn't mean you couldn't show a little professional courtesy and at least chouse a different number.

Of course it looks like the mfg did just that and it was the supplier/retailer who got it wrong.

I think it's called the Tac8, since it holds 8 shots..

Yeah, one shot would have sucked!

ahhh... no worries.

My only worry is the check valve, it's durability and rebuildability. With clips priced at $49.95 ea. I'd hate to have to replace a clip whenever a check valve failed and if it is rebuildable, that kits aren't to expensive.

Looks cool, although the manufacturer's claim of being the first magazine-fed paintball pistol is not entirely accurate.

Anyone know how it works? With 30+ shots to a 12 gram, I'm guessing DAO. Single-action blowback with a reciprocating slide would be nice but would kill the efficiency.

It would be the first magazine fed paintball pistol, if you consider that the motive source and the paintballs are in the same magazine.

The patent for it was posted on the tinker's guild about two years ago, if you check haveblue's site, you can probally find everything you need to know about it. I'll see if I can dig it up. I thought it was a dump chamber design, but I haven't looked in a while.

I wouldn't care if it only got 8 shots per 12gr if both the cartridge and the balls were in the same magazine so that's all you ever had to change on the field. Having the CO2 seal off is just an added bonus IMHO.
