What do want in a paintball pistol?

[z-zero]

I'd like to hear from all of AO. What things would you like to see in the future for paintball sidearms? Some of the things I'd like to see are:

- balls feed from under the barrell in a clip like fashion
- removable barrell for easy upgradability and cleaning
- semi-automatic of course
- 30 shots per 12 gram
- removable clip or magazine and available extras
-
- manufactored by AGD (*HINT*)
- Looks sweet, colors, milling, gems
- under $150

These are just some of the things I'm interested in how bout you?

You know, electronic triggers are a little over 150 as it is, so I'd take that off your list. But other than that, your list is good!

Yeah, The clip would have to be spring loaded, of coarse.
Maby AGD could make a modified Automag valve that has a hole you could pop a 12 gram into.. or maby the clip could double as a 12 gram clip.. It would have to work on co2 though, unlike the mag.. Thats a good idea.

I really want to see a clip system that feeds from under the barrel, that way the top of the gunline low and it has increased pointability. maybe some sort of mini warp built in eh? probally to expensive. spring feed? might work don't know about the last ball. The grips have to be comfortable! The PT extreme is nice all except for the loosey small grips!

last ball, you tilt the gun upwards and the ball rolls out

I would love a paintball pistol!

My list:
HI CAP clip loaded
2x finger swing trigger frame
NOT plastic
2-3 inch barrel with 1 inch muzzle break
MINI NITRO maybe somethin the size of a 12 gram with 8000 psi (i'm dreaming)
easy field strip
simple contruction
simple design
efficient

Mag pistol...

Ive thought about some sorta feed system that has a falling breech. so the spring pushes in horizontally and the breech falls to pick it up. It would be hard to automat for under 150 though. Maybe a gear driven trigger?

why dont you mount em vertically under the gun? it would be much easier. then the barrel could be automag style,EDIT:on your last ball, turn the gun upsidedown and let the ball fall into the breech, and you would twist the barrel so the breech closes, then fire your last ball. thats pretty much the only way I can figure you could do that, besides mouting horizontally on the top of the body/ verticaly out of the top.

This acutally wouldnt be that good of a system. You could make it so its co2 propelled though! lol

[z-zero]

If it was vertical and the spring pack in the clip had rest or block that would push the last ball into the breech, thing it would'nt need anything, if the body and pneumatic system would allow it.

Wait a minute! Mag pistol, new extrem body with interchangeable breech. Proto aluminum bodies for regular mags on the way. What about a pistol clip breech? No then the whole co2 thing would'nt work.

when did he say he wanted an electronic trigger on the pistol?

[z-zero]

Galliger The hyphen and the little wink smiley replaced my electronic trigger in the list.
