ben, if they are doing this on purpose then fair play. but if they are changing things this late in the design process something is definitely wrong.

DW - i never got excited about the nerve. Didnt seem anything to get excited about :rolleyes:
 
Some stuff I just copied from pb nation on specs:

Here are a few FACTS:

There is a new gun. (just in case you were one of those doubters!)
It's called the "Angel One".
It's 100grams (nearly 3 ounces) lighter than the Ego. I believe that makes it the lightest gun out.
Most of the weight will be in the grip.
The body IS the length of a dollar bill.
The barrel will come stock with multiple backs for paint sizing.
The barrel is lighter than a Dye ultralight!
This is going to be one hell of a marker. Well worth the wait, without a doubt!

I hope that helps.
If I remember anything else I'll post it.

EDIT:

Since the thread is getting so big, people are reposting my original info as if it was new. You can't blame them for not wanting to search this thing monster. I edited the first post for everyone.


YES, YES, YES, it is the "length" of a dollar bill! The body is definitely shorter in height than a dollar. +/- the feedneck.

The front stops at the reg.
The barrel is slightly set back.
It's a modified 3 tube design. Still the same basic pattern but smaller.
The LPR is in the very back.
The the ram has a LIGHTER mass. It moves amazingly freely. No resistance at all.
Four color screen on the top and side of the grip. About 1 inch by 3/4 inch Small but easy to read menu system.
TONS and TONS of modes, with amazing customizablity. More tyhan any other marker out there. I smell the MT influence for certain!
Bluberry style, 3 button system on the back of the grip.
They employ a patented self cleaning eye system that really works! The bolt is designed to blow the eyes clean with every shot.
The system can be configured for SUPER SOFT ball kiss. Softer than ANY marker out there.
The grip frame is the exact right size. It's super comfortable and more than large enough.
The air configuration is VERY efficient! There's even a 3 shot air buffer to help when you take advantage of the amazing speed it brings to bear. (Just in case the reg on your tank can't keep up)
The Barrel IS lighter than a UL. It comes with 3 different matching backs and a front.
The ASA is integrated into the grip.The profile very lean. The hose exits via ther front of the asa to put less out the side to get shot! Just twist the front and you can open or close the airflow.
It has an automatic degass when opening the ASA.
It's a 9v setup Look for a very nice battery from angel!
Locking feedneck (NOT like the 05 speed)
They redesigned the placement of the eye wiring as well.
The porting on the valve is HUGE and beautifully polished. It's impressive.
Because of the LPR placement the airflow is greatly simplified and improved.



Hope this may be of some help

I think it's fairly unlikely they are changing stuff Mario, if you think about the mass fabrication of parts, building the packaging to fit, getting the manuals designed and printed (to match the design you have settled on etc) it all takes time. I'm sure the design gets 'locked off' at least a month before you see the finished item.

Plus when all the finished parts have arrived you have to assemble, take all the nice photo's and then do the photoshop editing etc for the ads and press release photos etc

I'm sure it's just these small things we are waiting for now...

probably a bit more than a month, i bet this baby's been set for at least 3 months. Lpr at the back will make a major difference, i have an ir3 here with that setup and it works well.
