Marker Evolution?

[Dark Stranger]

Looking at current high end markers such as Ego7 and Dm7. I cannot help but question how smaller, and evolved these type of platforms can get.

I remember when a private label marker had extra milling / reduced weight. Now it seems some tattoo's / laser engraving is all you get for your extra cash.

Have we reached a plateau?

I doubt it. Every year we all say "how can this get better" and then the next year there are a billion better guns. Happens every year.

(Billion may be an exaggeration.)

what he said

always more bells and whistles to put on, and more metal to shave and shape i suppose.

But then you have a marker that is not practical to hold / use.

Look at the Dm6 compared to the Dm7. You have to be a forensic investigator to see the difference

Markers tend to adopt technology that is used in other industries. From my perspective there is not a lot left to adopt

Its like technology mate.

I dont think there will be an end to it.

if you asked a WW2 pilot this question he would say, na our aircraft are the height of technology, they cant get any better... now look what we have.

It just wont stop.

The next level of fighter planes are pilotless.

Would kind of take the fun out of the game if your marker ran around on its own

KEE had a gun that produced its own shot of air every trigger pull. Problem is the battery was bigger than any air system.

People will come up with innovative ideas every year. Just cause you can't think of any, doesnt mean there wont be any

I often wonder what things will be like in 10 years/50 years/100 years time

Any info on this?

Newer platforms will surface over time I suppose.

Is it fair to say however, that the current offerings from the big players have reached their potential?

Wasnt that the gat that looked like it had been ripped out of Starship troopers?

If I remember rightly it had a max of 500 shots per battery and shot at around 8 bps.

cant really go much smaller, but they could make them lighter, more efficient etc. its just figuring out how to do it
