im a kind of technically oriented person and ive seen a "exploded" picture of the boost bolt system. it seems as if its basis come a from a mini. its obviously not dont get me wrong but that seems to be the jist of this gun. if an owner could disassemble their bolt and take some pics it would be greatly appreciated. any info helps. and if theres an animated picture of how it works out yet please link me. thanks again.

It doesnt come from the mini.

Boost Forward technology started in the pmr as a way to make it easier on paint, and they used a better design for the NT. The pmr and mini bolts aren't very similar, they work in different ways.

if you look at the exploded bolt kit in the dye video, it actually looks like a geo and a SLG blot kit were combined.

The mini is a poppet valve and NT is spool.

No, not really...

I am almost certain that the NT is a spinoff thorps plunger.

the NT is its own design just as every other marker is, there is no need to say one design looks like another, all spool valve markers share similarities, same with stacked tube poppets.

also people think this is similar to thorps design, from what I can tell it MAY have started with his but the internals in the NT are quite far from what he showed everyone back in the day. 3 years of R & D at Dye are probably the culprit.
