Yeah, the barrel was about a metre long. I sold one to a punter at a site we used to run.:D

i remember reading about them (in a 91 PGI) when a team called the short timers were playing them.but i never saw one. it was one of the first semis, right? if i remember it right the poison looked alike, just shorter, huh?

Poisons were a lot smaller, I had on for a tourny in '90, couldn't get the thing to run constantly.
Lost loads of points for a hot gun.
In the end I went back to me phantom.

I thought the short timers went with a mixture of pumps
(could be wrong tho'):confused:

What ever happened to all the old uk teams.

Hmmm...

Might start a new thread???;)

The poison was the Eagle's baby brother.

Only teams I know of that ran the Golden Eagle were the Eagles and the Hawks. Amazingly the Eagles were an awesome team - god knows how much better they might have been if they hadn't been saddled with those behemoths.

longy - the Timers split ages ago. Darren Hall and a couple of others joined Storm in '95. I know Darren no longer plays (as one of my m8s has borrowed his RT) but dunno about the rest.
