i have the feeling they're going to sell TONS of these.

if it has a spool valve, and a burst / rebound board for $300 then it will be a bargin

Blimey, that's kinda cool.... As long as it's fairly reliable and Smart Parts Europe don't shaft us and try and charge much more than £200 for it then i could really see myself getting one of these as a spare marker.

I'd like to see some pics of the internals, i wanna see where corners have been cut.... Anyone know if the trigger is adjustable?

EDIT: Ohh looki what i found:

Looks pretty simple from the manual, neat idea for the solenoid. It will be interesting to see the battery life, and wear rate on the valve, other than that looks fairly straightforward.

LOL- yeh right

might not be in illegal modes but it will still be selectable- just like all the nerves you see knockin around.

Clever idea that i'm sure will have many companies kicking themselves they didn't think of it, how soon till the next one comes out and has photomesseging included?

Been having a look around at these...Look very nice, Like the interchangable covers and specs on the marker.

At that price. $285.....£151 will be hard to beat. I know we will have to pay more in the U.K. add 20% and should still be cheap at £180.

Have to wait and see how reliable it is!!!!

Thinking about one as a back up marker.
