I'm not trying to step on any toes.
The only reason this stood out in my rat's-nest brain (it's a wee bit out of my budget, see) is that it
was hogged out of a solid hunk of aluminum and
wasn't a clamshell, unlike most Tippmanns and their clones.
So if they did change up and go with a modified clone I'd be disappointed but not terribly surprised.
Edit: Found the
T68 diagram on RAP's site; it's a clamshell. From what I've read in the Qloader forums, the Q5 is still machined-from-billet.
Between RAP's confusing marker names, horrible website, and awful reputation, how do they stay in business?
