New Alien Marker

[Fabio421]

Alien Marker

I shot one of his prototypes at Worl Cup last year and it was hella fast. I didn't get to put paint through it, only dry firing but it seemed like a pretty fast little gun. The guy who designed it said that he was working with Curt to come up with an electronic version with an eye system. You could put your finger in the breech and pull the trigger all you wanted. It has a very low pressure on the trap door. As far as it being ugly. Thats what everyone thought about the Intimidators when they first came out. And every couple of years when an auto mfg. comes out with a new unorthodox body style everyone says eeewwwww. Then six months later its generaly accepted. Function before form in my book. But nobodys reading it anyway.

I had the chance to run paint through it at the IAO and was amazed at the speed of the thing. As far as appearances are concerned, there is a lot of excess aluminum that could be milled off of the body, making it lighter and better looking. I have 5 pics of the body, the feed mechanism and the marker both assembled and disassembled, but I'm not sure how to make them available to everyone.

well it does look abit square,but then who keeps any think stock these days, youll change the barrel, hacksaw the titanic funnel down, mill it anodise it and end up with a patent pendin 2003 shocker.


on another thread a guy called tyger was dissing the boss of SP and robbo was saying that he did great things for paintball, i think this maybe changing.

A few but not many I like the technical side of the sport as well as the playing.

Not sure right now. I've been a bit of a recluse dealing with work and some ****ty life stuff that's been happening lately It meant I missed Toulouse, IAO and have been spending weekends with family or away with work. Hopefully things will get easier in the next few weeks/months and I'll catch up with them again. They are usually in the same place
