Sales reps are like politicians: not to be trusted when their lips are moving. At least not when they're talking about what they're selling.

Right. No sales rep, ever, anywhere has ever told the truth.

Dons got a reputation on here, if he says its one way, Im inclined to believe him.

For real. I've known Don for a while now and I trust him as well. If you guys ever see him on here not telling the truth, I will personally kick him in the shins for you. Hard. :nododgy:

Plus, Don's not in sales.

[Don @ Valken]

Wow. Lot of replies to sort through--will update you guys today. The good news is I have a gun on the way to me now that I can take some sweet pics of and show you the features, internals, etc.

Be gentle. They are soft and weak from being "in the shade" all the time.

There was--and that gun is on the way out to me now. We even have a barrel cam video being uploaded as well. The gun rips

The gun is made in Canada, by the same people that made\sold\designed\invented the Aura. That's like saying the iPhone4 is a knockoff of the iPhone 3?

I work in paintball, and people are arguing about paintball--do I win automagically? Can I have an e-cookie?

There's one on the way to me. I will clean it up (it was used and abused for a week straight at D-Day) and shoot some pics.

A lot of the reps are told to "Hey go and play with this" and not told much more. Its hoseless, single tube format might have confused him. While inside it doesn't resemble a Luxe, I can see how people might draw a similarity from a very, very basic standpoint. Again, the Luxe is fantastic marker, and this costs 1/5th as much--they won't be identical in features. Heck, we distribute the Luxe and can't say enough good things about it.

Haha, nice. There have been some gems in here.

Some raw pics off of Valken's Facebook (pre-polishing, but you can see the finger grooves in the front grip):

Eh I kinda like that aspect of it. In direct sunlight, it's hard to tell if my g6r is on of off. A mechanical switch solves this.

I like the mechanical switch too. The Aura is a great shooter and the first marker I lend out to people with little to no experience. The mechanical on/off prevents accidentals.

Nice 1 of 12, totally an original marker design too..

[TheHef]

Looks good, any affordable gun that can keep up on a tourny field is great for paintball, it allows people to come out and compete for less money.
