New Alien Marker

[pgaglio]

I don't know whether any of you have seen this marker yet, but I was able to shoot a prototype at the IAO last weekend. Despite the fact that the trigger was poorly adjusted, it really ripped. Here's the manufacturer's web site:

It is an incredibly innovative design. There is no bolt, instead it uses a pivoting trap door that won't chop paint. It is electronically operated and has cocker threads for barrels. The looks are definitely unorthodox, but I have to hand it to the inventor for creating a very unique and ingenious design. It's my understanding that they'll be for sale in a month or two.

Although being incredibly ugly, its got quite a small profile which might sell it to some people.

For a gun that has had so much thought gone into the internals and the workings, it looks well ugly and could do with some more thought with regards to the cosmetics.

All in all, sounds good, but the proof is in the performance. Only time will tell

Looking at if first, I thought thats thing just looks bad which it still does.

But after spending a few minutes reading the specs and about the design, theve thought of a pritty good idea, which if they could make small and then add to a nice looking marker, I feel would help it sell.

Ohhh and why the uber high rise???

i agree with these guys, but function over form can go too far, needs a bit of a face lift!

Great specs. Shame it looks like some kind of steam powered contraption. Give it a nice image overhaul and they could be onto a winner.

that hurts my eyes :/ specs are good though

Thats what happens when you design paintball markers on a Monday morning or on a Friday evening....

looks like some one pushed it in at both sides and squished it a bit.
