I love the fact that it says "Timmy" barrel threads because we're not allowed to use the word "Cocker" any more.

[PsychoBaller]

Hmm.... only 500 shots on a charge o hte battery... 18v bah... recharge every 90min? bah.

Ill take a 2-3lb tank anyday

Nice concept though

I think they were focusing on safety also, PsychoBaller. It is much safer to use a battery than it is to carry around a bottle shaped metal containing 4500psi.

Can't get shocked by a tank though.....and water doesn't really harm a tank.

[p8ntball365]

Looks like the battery is internal, so how would it get wet? submerge it in water? How do you get shocked by a rechargeble battery? I never have.

[p8ntball365]

Oh and would you rather have a tank blow half of your face off (has happened I saw pic btw) or get a zapped?

[Python14]

I've been zapped by many batteries. Never had a tank explode. I'll stick with my Peanut

I like it. Sure, it's a bit unwieldly and not too efficient now, but in two or three years, it will be. A smaller, lighter, and more powerful battery will eventually be pioneered for an application such as this, and depending on how the air compression system works, it's conceivable that the technology could eventually allow the marker to be dialled into 290fps and left alone. A battery powered marker opens the door to a whole range of other on-marker technologies, such as self-chrono, realtime velocity adjustment and sharing battery power for the loader.

I think it's brilliant for a first generation product. I won't give up my Automag now, but by maybe 2008 or 2009 this will be a serious, competitive alternative.

-- Funny ... post 666 is in praise of a 32 Degree's product.

no. they are not focused on safety. read the text carefully, and you will find this: "minimum of 300 feet-per-second"
