Yes, this version will have no AC, no power windows or door locks, no sun roof, it wont even have a radio or HUD! This is a sneak peak of how the body will look like... btw, there will be no anno, all markers will come raw!

All that fancy milling for only $900!

On a side note, it will be nice to see a cheaper ego, but I still wont have one. I would still rather have one of the new fs-8's, they are a lot cheaper and get the job done just as good.

I've heard people call the proto a stripped down race gun version of the Dye matrices..well they where atleast, now they come with just about the same features, except protos don't have that PIA on/off on the front.Then you have your size differences and what not..

No, you're wrong.

They're about as loud as a .44 magnum, with the kick to match.

they get about 500 rnds off of a 68/45.

Actually you are the one that is incorrect, the 06 Cyborg is one of the quietest markers I have ever used, very consistent with mininmal recoil and I was getting 8 pods and a loader off a 68/4500...and it was a preset (borrowed along with the 'borg) with an adjustable I would have been able to get better figures. It is the only marker I have used that has actually got me thinking about switching from an Angel.

Good god, is this what paintball has come to? The same 3 or 4 companies rehashing the same ideas over and over again?

"It's like an ego, only lighter!"
"It's like an ego, only with more milling"
"It's like an ego, only with more color choices."
"It's like an ego...well, it IS an ego!"

you forgot the bottle opener ego.

actually i think the majority of products in paintball are overrated. borgs are nice, but they have more kick than my gold bolt matrix, and arent that amazingly efficient.

Might wanna get your vision checked.

Looks intresting. Wonder if it will comes with floor mats.

**pachytriton** · 06-14-2006, 01:31 PM

There was a site selling pre-orders for $750, I lost the link though. It's somewhere in the etek thread in the paintball news forum on pbnation.

Get the Lucky Air assist valve and the PBK ram kit for it. It'll make it much smoother, maybe not as smooth as a spool valve (TRIX) but close.

And if your borg isn't efficient and has lots of kick, then something is wrong. You might want to adjust your lpr if you arn't getting 1800+ off a 68/4500. Most people can manage to get a case off with their lpr tuned right.

what, im friends with 3 other borg owners and you assume i dont know about the lucky valve and delrin ram kit?

im cheap, its not worth it at the moment. the $40 for the ram kit seems a bit too much, ill probably end up turning my own ram. I thought about making something similar to the lucky valve a while ago, but now that the lucky valve actually exists i might just buy it instead... not yet though.

it doesnt have lots of kick, its just not nearly as nice as a trix. and the efficiency isnt that great, but im currently running the HPR at just over 200 and the LPR adjusted to set the velocity. i havent checked the dwell on the tadao, its set at whatever the last owner set it to, although i should check it soon. im lazy. either that or im just still in school.

ahh, i love summer break

I havn't checker my tadao settings either, other then messing around with the firing modes. Actually, I havn't touched much on my sonic, the previous owner babied it after dropping as many upgrades as possible into it...so yeah.

and nonsense, I was the first to tell you of the valve and ram kit...

Nothing wrong with my vision, I was using the Cyborg as a test gun for Macdev, the numbers don't lie, if you have used a badly set up cyborg then that's the problem this was setup extremely well, admittedly prototype software was installed but that isn't going to change the firing note nor the recoil (dwell has a slight effect on this) my only dislike of the borg is the push pin on the bolt but that is the same for me on all markers with this design as I find them fiddly to operate. The minireg was extremely good...I know this is off topic with regard the thread subject but just because you might have tried a badly setup 'borg doesn't make you right...just incorrect, if you look at the other replies since I gave my figures for air consumption I am not alone.

Mark, we are going to have to use a hammer to drive this home.

BEHEMOTH WAS JOKING. LOOK AT ALL THE POSTS, AND YOU WILL SEE WHERE HE SAYS THAT HE IS A BIG FAN OF CYBORGS.

**mag_lover05** · 06-14-2006, 03:36 PM

this is blasphemy..... the gun is apropriately named, and i liked it better when it was 1200 bux and we can still out do it with our 350 dollor RT mag.

**dahoeb** · 06-14-2006, 03:48 PM

well...if its based off of the same basic design of the ego, i'm sure it will be a good marker, just like the angel speed or PM.
