    I say that they are trying to benefit from the Automag design.

    Yes....i know mags aren't spoolers...but still.

    Also, so many have board recalls and they seem to be made cheeply.

          Not to sound rude but I have to correct you they are made very some of the boards were faulty in the first batch. What do you expect their a brand new company Yea Yea I know NPS produces them. Also there has been a short circut happening with the board. It is not able to handle some battaries because of the battery covering. To fix it is simply put a piece of foam tape on the battary.

              Fine. I have to say they do seem kinda of cheap with a fairly overall good design for only 400$.

              I would have to catergorized it as a mid level gun. I hate when people are trying to put this gun on top from the get-go.

                Ever held / fired one?

                I ask because I ordered one when they first came out and have yet to see it, yeh there were board issues but I am curious if you have ever held or fired one?

                    well, seeing as you and prob 90% of the people on this forum haven't shot one, I think this thread is a little pointless. It's a little to early to have an opinion, other than from what you heard or how it looks.

                      True. I do really hate the fact that i can only throw a preset on the mini. Are there adjustable screw ins? They really need to change that...but if lowering or adding pressure makes no difference...let it fly.

                        they are waiting till they have to new boards to ship them out. But if you are one of the lucky few you got one like me and it works you can just get the up graded board in 2 to 3 weeks. Also I have heard talk about a aftermarket board coming out. Im not sure it might be virtue.

                          I've shot one. I like the trigger pull but I'm not a fan of the overall gun.

                          Very smooth trigger board but it is much to small and too light for my tastes.

                          I didn't get to shoot anypaint out of it just some dryfireing action, My opinion might change if/when I've played a game with it.

                            I own one, got the only one that the stores got around here

                            I like it, the feel is very good, nothing feels very cheap, grips are eh, very remiscent of hybrid grips IMO (cant stand that type). Unofrtunatly the boards do have a problem and until it's fixed I can;'t paly with it, but I did dump a couple hoppers through it and I really liked it, not as good as my Dm6 but hey for 400 bucks? cant complain.

                            oh and for those who cry about not having an on/off, I thought I would be one of those people, but so far it's been extremly easy to get the tank on and off

                              Having been lucky enough to hold one I hope that it turns out to be as nice as it felt and looked.
