I have seen alot of people criticise wdp for bringing out so many markers which are apparentley the same or only have sligh alterations. If this is the case every other paintball company does the same thing. For example the new ego looks a bit differant has some new internals. The dm6 slightley smaller slightly lighter and looks a bit differant. All the other companies do it so why does wdp always seem to be criticised?

WDP release a new top of the range gat (G7) and then the simpler vertion (06 speed) every year, then ontop of that they release PL versions of those and then fly versions.

Eclipse released the ego, then the 06 ego and 2 private label gats, thats only 4 guns, whereas WDP have released about 8 gats within the last year......

WDP

People are always looking for that bit of an edge over the competition so if the demand for new products wasn't there companies like WDP wouldn't produce the stuff.

SP made the ion, people bought it lol, WDP, G7, G7Fly and now the Speed 06, people buy them.

My 2 pence worth;)

I think a lot of people are annoyed because each marker WDP release devalues their previous model on the second hand market.

You can shear the value pretty much in half as soon as you hand over the cash for your shiny new Angel if you're thinking about selling it on.

Planet eclispse have more private label versions than just nexus and xsv. WDP- G7 and 05 speed this years guns ,06 speed and g7 fly are the markers for there range next year. So thats 2 markers a season. Planet eclipse have the ego and the cocker. Dye have the dm6, dmc and proto.

the dm5 dmc and the proto u cnt really compare with WDP's angels can u. lets b fair. The DM 5 is just class, much more of a fought after marker then an angel.
The proto matrix, many people do not realise how much of a gat it is because they are scared of the name, it is imence.
Then u have the DMC, brought out for dye to show off their craftsman ship with creating a gat,
now with the speed, when they first came out, they were wanted by many people, but then when other such gats were brought out like the ego then people wanted something smoother, sleeker lighter and smaller.
In the g7's case i think people just didnt want it because it is just the same as a 05 speed but it has all the electronics that u dnt need this day and aage in paintball, all u need is a turn on and go, mayb a swithch between firing modes but that is about it. And you would b shelling out twice the amount u would need to for a speed to get the g7, when you can go half way inbetween to get something like an ego.
they are my views, i may b rong but

people are idiots.


as some one has said above they release a flag ship gun (G7) every year and a mid range gun (06 speed) and ones with slight alterations (fly)

people dont seem to realise that the G7 fly is not an upgrade to the G7 it is actually the one down from it.

also they bring out team signature series guns ie joy, arsenal. these are those teams guns, made available to you with limited stock, not as a new line of marker.

WDP dont do anything different from SP, DYE regards the ammount of guns they bring out per year. WDP bring them out across the year wheras SP, DYE tend to bring out an 06 range.


people dont see the differnce between the WDP guns, they just automatically think its ANOTHER marker brought out.

fools.
