2 pretty pennies meaning two gold pennies

looks like DYE took a page out of Kingman's book. haha correct me of I'm wrong, wasnt that spyder the first to be able to switch from mag fed to hopper fed on the fly?

Either way, incredible looking marker. I hope it sells well. Most of the big scenario guys I know won't spend more than $400 on a marker.

wowowowowowowow <3 good to see some actually good woodsball markers. even though i barely play woodsball anymore, it's still paintball, and that's all that matters

it seems as though anything other than a boobie tank will be too long for it. from the pictures, it looks like the stock and the asa line up and there isnt too much room in between. anyone else notice this? or am I losing it.

Yeah I see what you mean. I'd be using a remote line on it either way, but it would stink for those people who want to tank directly on the marker.

Im a tank on marker type of guy.. I was never a fan of remotes, dont like being tethered to anything.

MSRP on the SAR-12 is $999.

Sorry, haven't kept up with em, I just remember the price for beta testers was more than $1000, or I thought so at least. Regardless, this is still more mobiel =/

we already have the dealer price, so by going by what i stated above this marker will be around 900-1100. or we will be making mad cash for each one we sell if its more expensive than what stated.

Where did you get your pricing from? When I asked my rep yesterday all I got was "Think DM-ish price range".

Furthermore, what dealer goes around telling people their margins on a marker? I'm calling shens.

I personally cannot wait to get one of these in my shop. I am already getting calls for pre-orders, this thing is clearly going to be a hit!

to Dye for finally innovating a little.

TheDazedOne · 10-13-2012, 09:29 AM

Good looking marker that continues to innovate IMO. I started playing woodsball with an AutoMag and remote line step up 15 years a go - things have come a long way and I'm digging it... I just hope it's affordable (<$500) - probably dreaming though...

bulzeye · 10-13-2012, 09:37 AM

I sure hope they licensed that stock design from Magpul. Especially since Dye put their own logo on it. Magpul doesn't take kindly to people ripping their designs off

Whats does a First strike round do?

Alot of great ideas in this marker. While I play woodsball every once in a while I would never want the added costs of using the marker in mag fed because I loose pods and would probably loose some of these, BUT for the people that want to play like this it looks like the best of both world.

Yes Spyder did do that but it was a pathetic attempt at it.

You must not play with "big scenario guys"
My team strictly plays scenario, big game and UWL style events. 90% of my team uses $1000+ markers...

bowgster · 10-13-2012, 12:10 PM

i sure would like this, but its probably not gonna be worth what dye is asking

I doubt this would catch on for uwl type events (probably wrong though) cool for the scenario milsim guys. like i said before i sure hope they licensed the designs and didn't just rip them off.

Max07 · 10-13-2012, 12:39 PM

From the moment I saw this marker I fell in love with it. For so long I have wanted a marker that is better than the TM-15 and here it is.
There was the MILSIG M17 but that marker is way to realistic and way to out of the Paintball esthetics that I didn't like it that much. That marker feels a lot more like a gun that a paintball marker and I don't like one.

I decided I must have dis DAM marker, I just hope I find a dealer in Mexico (sure there is one, many guys at the field use DMs and NTs)

I'm almost sure RAP4 did it first but nobody noticed.

RyanR · 10-13-2012, 01:45 PM

comes with a UL?
