Man, that was so much fun.
Honestly, I like the feel of the Ir3- - minus the trigger guard. (just incase your wondering, my next gun WILL be an SFL. I dont need to send an instant message on the field to home. ) As far as the grip goes. . . well, here's what jeff and I overheard. saturday at the WDP booth, one of the guys for WDP was modeling off a new IR 3 to a group of onlookers - as they 'ood and ahhd ' over it. the guy was going over all the new features, and explaining how the new grip worked. . that it allowed for a more ergonomic shooting position, ect. ect.
Anyway, Jeff noticed it (i wasnt paying attention.) One of the guys in the crowd asked the WDP fella " isnt that designed/ work pretty much like the old Z-grip from AGD?"
The response:
" well, uhhh . . . . . . . . .
yeah."
I cracked up.
Speaking of Z-grips, jeff is right. I bet my z-grip mag was one of the most picked up guns at the tournament. When we first walked up to the arigun booth and were introducing ourselves to the guys, I had my z-grip mag out. During the course of the conversation, I set the gun down on the display table next to the rest of the emags/ sfl's, john's retromag, ect. ect. of course people are comming by and picking up and holding the display guns and stuff. I actually had people reach halfway around me- - to pick up my z-grip thinking that it was a display model. after this happend like 6 or 7 times in about 5 minutes, I just casually suggested that we could just leave the gun out on the display table. Later, when we were behind the booth talking 'mag stuff to whoever walked up Id say that I talked at legnth about the z-grip to at least 15 or so people. Not including those who were messing with it when I was talking about SFL's or whatever. . or those that came by when jeff and I were out and about (which was often. . .)
All in all, John is really cool. that whole incident is impossible for me to believe, but that's in the past- - anyway. . . . . . We had the best time, and had all our questions answered. Also figured somthing neat about the weight of the SFL's.
Alot of people would pick up jeff's sfl warp halo rig and comment on how heavy it was. . . and that they shoot an angel, and just dont think they could get used to the weight.
So here's what i did. . . I was talking with this one guy who said that. I said ' hmm. yeah, i know what ya mean." how about this? " At this point I took out my LCD. (no air on it.) The guy kinda looks at me weird, so i just laugh. (remember, im standing behind the Airgun booth.) I take the infinity barrel off the gun and ask him to hold it. I grab a sfl and take off the boomstick (didnt want to make things unfair because one gun had all alumnium while the other had an Al SS.) He holds one gun in each hand, and looks at me funny as he admits that he caht tell much of a difference. Obviously the SFL is lighter than some people are giving it credit for.
At any rate, we had a blast, and I am looking forward to the next time I can meet up with the guys from AGD.
