NERVE video.
- Thread starter Bolter
- Start date
Being an American, and having been the first person to post about how ridiculous that guy sounded, I'm not sure I entirely agree.
It's got nothing to do with that, it's just that this new marker isn't at all original in it's design and was quite dissapointing after a 2 (or more?) year wait for it's release.
It's difficult not to "bash" a company that releases videos like the one's we've recently seen from Smart Parts. I know you think this is just some great conspiracy against you and SP, but some people just realize the lack of originality in this "new" marker, the crapiness of this video and the idiocy of the "technician supervisor". You like Smart Parts, and that's all well and good, but really, how do you defend a video like this or the dude in it?
Have you used the nerve yet????
In fact, have any of you?? We should reserve our judgements until we have used it. My intentions were not to cause insult to anyone, just to give a new marker a fair chance to prove itself, ok, it may have similarities to the impulseand the shocker, but it must be different in some respect or there would be no point in producing it.
I'll let you know if they are anygood after i collect mine this week.

I look forward to hearing your opinion on the Nerve but i think I will REALLY struggle to see it as anything more than a jumped up Impulse with ramping built in that no way will any tournament allow you to use it. The Nerve's software is illegal even in the new NXL rules as it goes over 15bps when ramping!
This video was made by FON, not smart parts. I forget his name but the tech guy in the video is a really nice and helpful dude. He was at Toulouse last year and fixed the solenoid in my Impulse for free by changing an o-ring or two inside it. SP Europe found this task impossible and wanted over 60 quid to replace the entire solenoid.... He was very helpful and friendly and probably one of the best techs I've dealt with.
Either way, my Joy Fly is coming later today and I can't wait to sample the Made In England goodness... w00t!
EDIT: Just re-watched the vid, Anthony is the name of the dude. Markie c giving me my first use of the 'report to moderator' link.....immature nodge puppet

stop
when they stop sueing people and act like ballers and not stockbrokers thats when we all stop smartparts bashing, ooooohhhhhh thats right they lost didnt they oh what a shame now they might stop making them crap videos. and yes i have used one and they are to big and we shouldnt be using ramping boards on markers or how are we going to make people realise that our sport is about skill and not about just shooting poeple

Broz, as a Junior Executive Auxiliary Fun Police Trainee (JEAFPT), I am shocked that you haven't been meeting your quotas for "report to moderators" useage. You're going to have to do better if you want to get you taser.
Let me preface my comments nym saying that I deplore Smart Parts' litiginous adventures, think that prior to this year their guns were inferior with stock specifications, and the sense of style they have exhibited has been poor over the years.
I shot a Nerve last weekend. It actually looked pretty nice. The milling was swoopy and voluptuous, and there weren't any of those nasty machine marks, so someone polished this sucker. I liked the trigger feel, but that is almost beside the point. If you have two fingers, you can get it to go crazy with that ramping board. You may or may not need a thumb.
This is another gun that works like an Angel, Impulse, Bushmaster, Viking, whatever. I think it is a nice example of type, but it isn't as novel as the Matrix was. I think SP had to put in a ramping board so that there would be a performance advantage of some kind to justify the hype and the wait. If this had come out at the end of last year, with just the standard programing that most guns have, it would have done pretty well, I think, as a competitor (subject to price). As it is, too long to wait, IMO. Many had higher and higher hopes as the wait stretched on, but this is simply another paintball gun, the most unusual thing about which is that it is open about cheating.
BTW, after shooting this, I am inclined to believe that there are not as many cheating (ramping) guns out there as people seem to think. It sounds so different, you couldn't mistake this.

from a regular joes perspective, this has shocker written all over it, infact when i first seen it i though oh sp have brought out a variant o4 shocker ? very un pro video, you dont get that with angel, and eblade ? could not understand a word this dude was saying, by the end i was picturing me lighting him up, or even sicker giving him mega brittle paint, sending him into game scenario, watch him get a few bursts then shoot the **** outa his barracade and laugh while he twiddles with his bolt (still talking about the gun here) the design is not user freindly in that respect i can for see a lot of peeps that buy this gat walking off the field and having strip down sesions in the pit area ?
plus sp i feel have pressed the self destruct button, the minute they stopped being ballers, and became self indulging *******s ! greedy greedy someone needs to send three ghosts to the MD`S house on crimbo eve

Well personally I will certainly be giving the Nerve time to prove itself.......... say nine months from it's release date.
Okey dokey, nine months up......... anyone used one? nope, already obsolete.......... what's the point....... it might have impressed when it was meant to come out..... but not now, is it even meant to be that impressive? I thought it was being pitched as a mid-level marker? to replace the Impy. So the shocker is still the "flagship". Or have they made their own shocker (also a year late in coming) obsolete a year after making that?
Taking tips from Microsoft again.

No, the idea was that the Nerve would be the flagship. I remember reading about it at the beginning of 2003.
R-C, it is less like a Shocker than an Intimidator. Same operating principle as a Timmy, with a ram tube and a bolt tube, one under the other. Shocker work like Matrices, where the bolt is the ram is the valve. More elegant, but so far less efficient- I believe because no one is doing a proper job of sealing the air path from source to dump chamber before the dump chamber opens to the breech.
