Oh and thanks for the quick response and all the videos/ info Xluben. You've done some great work.

I don't know if it's completely due to break-in. Several other factors also changed:

weather (from <40F to >80F)
paint (2month old dxs field paint, to fresh dxs silver)
dwell (16ms to 12ms)
barrel (stock to bore matched Redz)
etc...

I think it just shows a range of possible numbers I'd expect to see any user pick up the gun and get.

Has a built in bottle opener...

Really trying to resist the temptation to buy one of these. The price just fell out the bottom again...

I've heard they are loud. Like louder than an Ego loud. I know some of you fellas like Vector + Loudener loud, but I don't. Any word on sound signature?


Actually, I hope they are loud. Really loud. Then I won't want to buy one.

Holy crap is that loud! I don't mind loud because I shoot Ego's but that thing has a very sharp and loud report for that type of gun.

When did the price change? They have always been $430 since pre-orders.

With the stock barrel they are pretty loud. Probably pretty close to Ego-loud. With more porting they quiet down a bit, but not to Matrix levels.

Here's some more vids that were actually taken earlier (crappier camera):

the vid, but you cannot see it). The paint I was using was WalMart paint
purchased 2-3 months ago and probably sitting on the shelf 3 months before
that due to MN winters. I did have a couple barrel breaks, but no chops.

The speed was as good as to be expected. My hopper must have been
running low on batteries. It's a stock Halo B and did ~20BPS in these vids.
I've had it 22-24BPS with my other DP guns (I'm sure this was due to low
batteries). The stock barrel is definitely something you could use every day, as
long as your paint fits.

I also did a little consistency vid: 296 290 278 297 292 293 292 Out of the
box (no break in, did adjust the reg) with crappy paint. In my mind, those
numbers are AMAZING. The reg has no break in and is already +/-3 (if you
throw out the outlier).

Also, the Radioshack magnets fit perfectly in this gun:



Feels pretty similar to the stock spring though.

I just read the 19 page long thread on these. Good info. Not too happy to hear about how loud they are...

eBay... couple sellers have super low prices...

One more stupid question that I don't think I've seen answered. Are these cocker threaded?

Yes.

[MrJR]

Well, that killer $369 deal got modified... Too bad. I was actually considering one.

[xluben]

I would much rather order from an authorized dealer anyways.
