what happend?

[FARMER00]

A spool Valve Electronic marker MSRP $440 with a metal body.



A spool valve MECH , yes MECH with a MSRP of $329.00




Autcocker minus the front block! MSRP of $359



this marker is closed bolt autococker design, BUT NOT FRONT BLOCK. it has a innovative spring return design that eliminates the need for all the complicated front parts.


Darkside Paintball in joint with Whatzapnin? Enterprises LLC are currently aquiring exclusive rights to sell and service these markers in the US. Anyone at IAO this year got to see these markers, and they are very impressive for their price range.

what happened to these? i just found this on an old thread on here

[Chronobreak]

well,..for one im guess the name" auto cocker" is not being used anymore

[grEnAlEins]

They still have a website...

I doubt that these are still available though. You can try and contact them if you want to...

i would like to copy the MG604's "push bottom" safety, but it has "patent and other patent pending"

[buzzboy]

Not sure about their existance but you can find reviews on pbr so I guess that they did end up coming out.

[RRfireblade]

Never noticed before but one says open bolt accuracy , the other says closed bolt accuracy.

saw these things at IAO a couple years ago. the seemed to shoot ok but you couldn't understand a damn word of the reps in the booth - they were of the asian persuasion.

didn't they get sued for the pneumatic operation of them? i thoughyt they did.

Yea... the Novas

i may be getting the name "Nova" confused with something else ...

but weren't those the ones where the whole barrel moved ... in searching the internet now ... ill probably answer my own question in a few minutes

Yea, the barrel also acted as your bolt, moving in and out of the breech area to seal and fire the gun. Definately have a neat feel to them.

i found it ...yeah i didn't realise novas were spoolies ... guess reading a little more would have helped ... i skimmed over that info more than once and didn't see it

one of them was up on MCB's B/S/T a while ago ... wonder who ended up with it ...

[AGDRetro]

I have a teammate with over 8 variations of the Nova. They are really pretty cool, I just cant justify spending $200 for a nice one though. You have to be careful when in the market for them, some were recalled for regulator issues...

It also acted as a harpoon for some guns. They actually flew off when shot. Extreme Bunkerings!

[AGDRetro]

Yea, the reg would over-pressurize and launch the barrel down-field! Like I said you have to be careful with a Nova purchase.
