this is the only link i got so far, the pumping mechanism looks like it might crash and burn

Push, then pull? Mind. Blown.

Push and let go, spring return. =P Looks interesting at least. Must take a lot of getting used to but the stroke looks sweet!

hmm looks pooh, your draging the marker forward to load which messes up repeat shots at the target.
Smacks of gimick to me, if it was that good someone would have done this years ago and the reason they probably didnt is because of the above reason. >.>

Really? It's not like you have to take your hand off the grips... Don't see how a pump that light would effect shot placement than say, a Phantom?

I know zip about this stuff but Sablewolf is right

That prototype hasnt got any force feed on the balls, so the guy was tipping the marker forward to gravity feed the paint. Presumably you could put a spring in there? Would slow reload and maybe risk double feed.

That's just a stock class feed, you'll find them on lots of pumps. They'll be offering it with a normal feedneck and some kind of first strike magazine.

I think Sablewolf was referring to the top half of the marker moving.

push to c**k, stock class feed - splatmaster?

No - good to see some innovation, I can't see the pic's on mcb, I'm at work. Any one read enough to understand the new style valve?

SabreWolf - since stockclass is rock and c**k you take yourself off target each time you pump anyway.

 

[SabreWolf]

yea i understand this canon but you mentioned splat master, which i can see it's resemblence, if they advertise it AS a pistol then great, it would work as an idea, but i fail to see how this will even compete with the likes of proven pumps such as sterlings and phantoms.

Must add, stock class is indeed different to running a hopper so i will stand corrected that if this gun is going as a stock class then great but if it goes running a hopper i can see it failing miserably.

The reason is, the moving part that lets the ball drop in, this is gonna chop balls like a b*tch if used for rapid fire.
I am interested in how this gun works though, and it's capability to be refined and perfected.

I still see no problem at all with the standard pumps apart from rights to make them and parts heh.

I dunno if it would chop paint any more than other pumps at high rates of fire. Doesn't any pump need an electro loader or a springfeed if you're going to fire that fast?
I know I've chopped and pinched with sterlings and pump kitted cockers.
