the internals look like a mix of a DM and shocker. similar bolt to a shocker, but the firing can screws appart and is small like a DM. the bolt guide is not like anything else ive seen, but the entire assembly comes out at once. its really nice. hope that helps

very shockery :]

dammit, just bought an Ego!! shoulda gotten one of these.. very shexy!!

Nick Alder · 05-05-2008, 12:43 PM

that is rather dissapointing

I was expecting some form of a revolutionary firing system. Its nothing more than a smaller shocker, with a threaded & combined spool/beercan

rekk · 05-05-2008, 12:56 PM

what's the cycle speed? is it significantly faster than a shocker?

d1ce · 05-05-2008, 12:57 PM

LOL! It's an $1,700 Shocker.

LU_aDaK · 05-05-2008, 03:09 PM

The shape still looks so awkward to me.. any other markers you could take pictures of it next to.. so the average joe like myself can better proportion the marker?

fade2black11 · 05-05-2008, 03:13 PM

Sorry, obviously can't afford multiple markers now.

The thing I like most about it is the feel, it is a longer feel which I very much prefer.

russianlegion3 · 05-05-2008, 03:14 PM

Huh, looks alot like a shocker internal....w/e this gun still looks amazing!

Over 30. But seriously... a higher ROF does not mean a better gun. If you increase the cycling speed of the gun, you increase the force applied to the paintball. Hence, you break more paint. I think I will trade ROF in for breaking less paint any day.

I stole one from Darryl on Thursday and got to play with it. I shot 7 pods and 1 hopper and still had about 1500 in the tank. I cannot believe how quiet it is. I found out that if you use a tight fit on the insert, it makes it quieter. I was watching Dynasty practice today here as well. I saw a couple on the field being beat up.

It is more accurate than my other guns, and had better range.

I noticed some of the things Sean has commented on as well.

It is a lot quieter than any shocker, all my teammates have shockers and it was substantially quieter with less kick.

I really like Moorehead's Luxe, it is completely black (no accents).

As far as shots per fill, I shot 6 pods and a hopper with about 1200 PSI left. (not sure if it was a full fill however)

According to those numbers you should be able to get:
1 180rnd hopper
+11 140rnd pods
+ 20 extra shots

I think the voice of the DLX board that talks is sexy.

jeez, for the price it'd better be sexy AND talk dirty to me too!

Is it just me or the bolt looks like a shocker and matrix combined? and those numbers for efficiency sound really really good for a spooler... if I didn't know the Droid can do it I'd be calling shens on that one, almost too good to be true...

Angel Fragoza said the same thing as me. I guess we are both wrong? I guess I would say it has a flatter trajectory.

I would say the altered sensation of the markers kick as compared to a shocker or otherwise would be responsible for your perception.

Sean@smartpartswest · 05-05-2008, 05:30 PM

It is not a perception. I guess you are one of those people that think that the exit veolcity of a paintball gun will give you the same range no matter what type of gun it is?

Excepting extreme factors such as backspin, yes.
