Both of mine have had curved eye covers, I thought that was standard...also

Those chalks are so sexy!

To my understanding the 10i and 09 were the same except the 10i had 2010 internals for slightly lowered pressures. Both should not be 4 eye capable (straight eye covers). I recall seeing someone selling that marker, it was custom anno'd and if memory serves an 09 model.

So an OLED board and 4 c eyes cannot be added to the non curved eye covered markers?

What about the marker above without oled but with curved covers?

My mistake guys, I had a friend check it for me and he simply glanced at it too quickly... It is not 4c capable like stated aboved.

Correct on first point. Jack was having some oled shortages and started shipping the Ts with led boards at a reduced price.

Time to take XSV off the old website eh Jack?

splatter19 · 02-01-2011, 05:48 PM

I don't see why they would rather use an empire axe over an alien, that does not make any sense. :,

It's all about the benjamins baby.
Pro teams switch guns all the time. My concern is that now Alien may again be absent at the majority of events.

splatter19 · 02-01-2011, 07:53 PM

True true about the bennys but I mean for how good aliens are and for the price they're a steal also the invasion is coming out soon so Benny will get a little rest in there wallets.

Well teams of that caliber won't be paying for markers. The companies make money off of them shooting markers. I guarantee you Alien got a lot more consideration from buyers when they heard XSV was shooting them. The publicity that the axe is going to get is going to be absolutely ridiculous. Since it's a sub $500 mid-end marker. A whole bunch of people that would not even think about shooting a marker in the class of an axe will now say, "well if XSV is shooting them, I definitely can, and I will save a lot of cash." Than all of the kids that have smaller budgets deciding between markers in that class, like the Spec-R, Etek 3, Invasion, ETC, will now say " XSV shoots the axe, that has to be the best choice." These thoughts aren't neccesarily true, but it's sponsoring a team like XSV is just good marketing and will hype up the marker they are shooting greatly. Empire obviously offered them a hell of an endorsement to shoot those markers.

It's a shame really but i bet Jack pics up another Pro team. oh and my very first High end marker should be here this week can't wait. I think Jack might have got my email wrong, or he is way busy since he said he'd email me my tracking # the latest he said it would ship is monday. i'm positive tracking number or not it will get here soon.
