Zach was on Oakland blast, not sure if they played psp or not but Zach quit to help with orders and the shop if I remember correctly.(this may not be true any more as it was a year or so ago that it happened)

Whats so bad about it? I know I'm one of the many who've bought both, and seems a lot already have put $ down on just Insight.
(all be it I'm selling the VCOM, not because I dont like it, more because I dont think I'll reach for it enough to keep)

Well all business terms aside you don't want to introduce a product into an unstable market. The two options were one to release it along side the Vic as the spool only option at a reduced price; which it is. Or two release it a 6 or so months after the vcom is released, just to see if the spool is a hit or not. I would go with two because of all the issues BL has been having with the bolt assembly.

Always great things coming out from Bob Long! Very excited to shoot one of these beasts

Hmmmm! 2.5 pods from a 13/3000?

That's what I was thinking. If those were 140s that works out to 270 from a 13/3k. A full revi and a 100rd pod.

lol why? Go get one and enjoy.

Just because Bob Long isnt as big of a company as DYE, PE, or KEE doesnt mean that his products are inferior. He simply specializes in making great guns.

That would have to be one of the lightest setups. Do they make a 3k slp? I'd buy a 13 if I could get a high top rotor and a standard pod out of one. Not as light as a revy, but its my go to.

I don't see why you'd need a 3K slp.. Put a norm one on a 3K PSI tank, and change the burst discs to that similar on a 3K reg.

TheNordicBuffadillo · 04-04-2013, 02:53 PM

I really want one of these. Bob Long is on fire with his production of great markers.

Keep up the good work. Hopefully when I'm not broke I'll buy one!

tranman · 04-04-2013, 03:42 PM

Looks like they got rid of the lpr that was on the victory so they could squash down the size of the body and frame

Vegard · 04-04-2013, 03:52 PM

For once I like an anno that hides the milling. Not Bobs prettiest work.

Shootingropes · 04-04-2013, 03:56 PM

^ my favorite so far, and I'm the biggest fan of flat one colored guns

actually tempted to do as such. order one along with mine. I love the shorter reg as well so I think on this gun itd be absolutely perfect.

unless it cant be done, I dont have the gun so I dont know.

itd be a great option though

Bob's a good business man but anyone who's ever talked to him knows the passion he has for the sport, his brand, and the markers he makes. It might have made sense to wait but it would be unrealistic for someone like him. The same passion that makes him successful make it difficult to wait!
