Jack Rice argues about his "Sweep" technology

[rkjunior303]

Jack Rice (of Alien) has been pretty involved in a thread over in the AKA portion of PBN, talking about how his "Sweep" technology is better for trajectory and accuracy -- I don't know, it sounds like "hype" to me but the thread is a pretty solid read with no flaming for once.

I'm going to take Jeff from the NE Hurricane's offer up when I'm at the practice with them and Chicago Evil next week. Aside from the Sweep hooplah, I have heard good things about the markers -- so I wouldn't mind shooting one regardless.

Yeah, I'm a Boston Paintball Employee (and since we're home field and sponsor for the canes), I can get a remains or interceptor... My friend was actually going to get one (his impulse + $400)but took the minion instead (and saved $200).

I've shot both the remains and the interceptor, and I must say- I'm impressed. I believe that teh whole flat trajectory BS is a marketing ploy. Sure it may work on paper, but when your shooting a liquid filled capsule that isnt even round most of the time, results WILL vary.

any magazine reviews are biased

...you honestly think if you get a gun for free or for free for a weekend or two that your gonna rag on it?

apg gives spyder clones good reviews and acts like theyr are the best things...

jack rice is not above hype and has been called out on many ocasions on his bold and innacurate claims.

he never has any proof of his claims just theories on why they should work.

now i may be totally off because i havnt looked into it, but wouldnt the whole sweep technlogy make everything slightly worse becasue air is reased unevenly and it slighty resticts flow, again i may be totally wrong, just correct me if i am

like how cockers shoot further than Automags?

You're talking about how mag tend to lob balls and cockers tend to get a flatter trajectory?
I thought everyone knew this. Wasn't this proven by APG way back in the 90's

and the church

Yea but the church actually has evidence lol, but im not going to cause another ww3 argument so ill stop there.

Ive heard alot of good things about interceptors, mainy that they are very light and fast and the modular design simplifies maintenence alot, its also powered by a WAS board wich means lots of crazy fast uneccasary modes (for those spray and pray types)
It sounds like a cool idea and the whole idea is actually based on the fact that paintballs are not perfectly round, if a paintball was perfectly round then the system would not work because the air would have nothing to catch on to (in theory) As for the remains i have seen an intresting collaberation bewtween AKA and Alien recently, they had a remains with all of akas low pressure mods on it and it looked pretty awsome because AKA =

I got to hold and test fire the remains and interceptor at some tournament alien attended and it quite impressed me, mainly because it was very small and light but IMO alien markers are rather plain and fugly looking, i wish somone would investigate all this hype about the sweep system and blah blah blah, seems like everything thats going around at the moment in regards to the sweep system is based off opinion or because "I SAW IT WORK"
