    The return of the crown point barrel?

    Found it over on PBN, they claim it's the '07 Alien Remains. I thought the barrel was worth a look.

    Yes it does appear to be a milled down ego.

      Is there some benefit to the point? Or does it just look cool

          Damn, all the new markers look like Ego's. Personally I would rather have the couple extra oz. of weight and have my marker look like something!

          and yes, interesting shape on the bbl too. Barrel tag to the back would scar you for life!

                That feedneck is super-low profile.

                    You know... it's goten to the point where subsequent guns are all the same as the previous year with a .5 ounce shaved off. Pretty soon all guns will have to start getting heavier as there will be no more to mill off.

                      Before you know it paintball markers will not have a feedneck at all, it will be some strange magnetic hopper or something. Well I wonder if that barell on the alien remains makes a "ting" when you shoot it like the crown point?

                        If any of you had looked into the 07 alien (the independence) any more than looking at this render, you would know that that is NOT a real barrel, and its just something the CAD artist slapped on there.

                        Oh, and about the "looks like an ego" comments, its a stacked tube electro phenu, of course it looks like existing ones. But, on that note, it also shoots like an ego (if it shoots like the 06 remains), but, its quieter/more comfy IMO.

                            speaking of egos, tody my friend chris (previous dmc owner) traded for an etek ego. Today he said this exactly and I thought it was very funny:
                            "crap my ego is broken now i have to clean my eyes". ha ha get it. Gun parts=body parts.

                              Wow, thats only kind of off topic...


                              Anyway, yea. I wonder if the 07 fixes all of the tolerance problems that plauge those guns (aliens that is).
