markers getting too light?

There's details on the ego 08? Where have they been hiding?
I do not agree that markers are getting too light, but too small is a problem. I do not like the feel of the mini, just because it feels cramped as hell. Don't get me wrong, I'd still shoot one if it was given to me, but it just wouldn't feel right.
Only way guns will get lighter is if they change the design of the markers themselves. There is not much more meat you could shave off an SL74, but if you came up with a completely new concept, or even an adjusted version of the existing concept, it will become possible.

So light, you would have to tie them to the ground when unused to stop them floating away

look at the DM gun series.
DM3, was big
DM4 was about the same size but milled different
DM5, smaller and lighter
DM6 even smaller and lighter
DM7 slighty smaller.
Now when the DM4 was made, it would have been the Dogs. Just like the 07 ego's are now. but as technologys become more advanced, things get smaller, and lighter. feck knows where paintball markers will be in five years time.

I suppose they could follow the same concept as todays air tanks (no, not exploding like stakos ).

Slightly off topic, but as light as new markers and Carbon bottles may be, paint and heavy loaders like the Pulse insult the point of light markers...
