I have no idea what that means but someone told me?


I dont think you can have those two things together.

The mag is a feat of genius, simplicity and performance personified.

The spool valve design is just a complicated way of wearing out Orings!!!


Anyone know more about the freestyle??

Wouldn't hold your breath, that said there has been talk of the 'evil m' for quite some time, rumour has it it'd be an open bolt using the eclipse E1 frame, seems AKA are a bit miffed about the ego for some reason though......

Dan Voils = Master Tech at AKA.
Is there no chance that after the SP lawsuit finishes(yeah I know, that could be 2006 or beyond) that AKA will design and produce a gat on their own??

Yeah, it's a little bit like a mag with a spool valve :D

Actually, it's similar to the version of the shocker that SP patented, as opposed to the shocker they actually sell. Clearer yet? :D

It's basically a spool valve, except the bolt is driven forward (and the valve opened) by the pressure that fires the ball. Then low pressure from the solenoid returns the bolt and holds it there until next fired. Look in the stickies in the ICD forum on pbnation (*spit*) - there's an animation of how the internals work.

But that thing is helluva fugly.
