Just saying.

It's based off the " Dragon G6R".

Might as well be Bob. get some really awesome masking on that and color the flames and dragon in a fade while the back were say, nickle plated, that would be sick.
"be original"...
Forgot the dodgy. Let's look at the history of factory custom milled markers. Shockers are gone. That leaves PE right? Let's change one line or mill a teeny tiny logo into it. BAM! Holy **** that's game changing! Revolutionary!.. Bob is the only manufacturer not to get stuck in vinyl graphics but actually mills his guns at the factory. I'd say that's original enough.

i agree to the statement about how Bob is the only guy still doing real factory custom work, but that gun is simply what i said it is, a potatohead. They borrowed the front of the dragon, and the back of the flame, and screwed them together. I would have rather seen another new cut, not a combination of two existing ones. More options, means more wide spread appeal which leads to more sales. It's still a good looking marker, but it is just a simple part swap.

Agreed. To an extent. It is a part swap. But it also gives more options for consumers, while making it so BLAST does not have to design and mill another cut. Will there be another cut? Most likely yea there will, a few others if my guess is right. I love it. Glad someone decided to do it and saw it flowed fairly well together.
At this point, I wonder it someone can order a g6r with "____" back and "____" front from any/every cut they do. Now that would be pretty cool

I doubt anyone would be wanting to put a tactical front on another style back. Same way with flame as it wouldnt flow with anything I actually wished each one had a different front. If my tx storm had milling on front that went along with the back it would have been even better. Not taking anything away though bc milling is great on all them

Nothing to do with cad designers....it's just a dragon g6r front and flame back. Not extremely hard to do just pricey do to need two guns or the front half of a dragon and half of a flame. Looks cool though

In all honesty I like it a lot better than the dragon or flame guns by themselves... But it's still not something I'd own.

I can appreciate "superb milling", but this "brand new gun" is just two old guns' parts stuck together and re-annoed. Whatever makes the rabid BL fanboys happy, I guess.
