Evil Omen - Anyone used one yet?

[Pump'n'Splat]

I'm considering picking up an Evil Omen to upgrade from my time spent in the Kingman camp.

Has anyone used/is using one of these already? If so, opinions please!

Cheers

Nik

my friend owns one and i have had a game with it
really solid marker, initial setup of recocking etc to do but after that your sorted

they cant chop thanks to the CAM feed system, no eyes- no electronics no fuss

nice adjustable trigger
its a nice fast non chopping marker, light and fast, owns out of the box

i would pick one up

Had one for 4 months now, brilliant marker overall.

Initial setup can be tedious but as long as you read the instructions properly and break in the reg you'll be fine.
Got mine imported from the US for £300 including vat and delivery, the delivery took 3 days as well.

Delrin bolt stock, pipe barrel (near enough) stock, detonator reg stock.

Cam feed system is supoib, it's physically impossible for the marker to chop.
Trigger is strange at first due to it's shape but I love it now, it's fully adjustable. It's capped at 15bps stock but you can buy a new board from the US which bumps it up to 25bps with adjustable de-bounce.

Very few upgrades for it, but it honestly doesn't need any. Only thing I'd change would be the feedneck, which are impy threaded.
Also, you can't use halos on it as they use too much force and shove the balls past the cam reeds - I use an egg.
If you decide to buy one and are having any problems, give me a pm, I'll probably be able to help you out.

I was lookiin at getting an omen as a spare gun after looking at one at Campaign, but the reputation of kick and bounce put me off. Is the kick/bounce as bad as some have made out?

Thanx.

The kick is similar to that of a cocker. However, there is a mod called "flush cocking" in development (in fact they've done about 10 now and are just waiting to add the final touches before making it publicly available) where the back block is bound and doesn't move, gives the marker kick about as high as a matrix.

The bounce rumour is BS, I've only ever heard of 2 cases of bounce with the stock board (the upgrade board has adjustable bounce) and they had deliberately spent ages setting their triggers up specifically to achieve it.

Hmm... tempting, cheap too! I know that you can get them easily enough in the UK, but if I can save serious ca$h ordering from the states, I might look into that too. I think that Shop4paintball.com ships to the UK, but are there any other companies stateside worth looking in to? Thanx Guys.

Holmbush Paintball do ano'd ones.......not a sign of black in sight!! Bit pricey though....

Does seem like a tempting mid-range marker for a fair price...and a little different from the usual suspects too...
