Paintball

[Schmitti]

Sorry Jason.... now I have to go find the thread where the guy states how he has to sell his old stuff be cause he needs this years model. That was to what I refer.

It's on thing to buy another gun or get a replacement... but to sell last years model to buy the latest and greatest.. I guess I'm getting to old and frugal to do that.

And are you going to be at first prize on sunday by any chance?

I'm a little disappointed that they didn't stick solely with the poppet style guns that they always said were superior to the spool valves until they came out with their own spooly.

i really dont know why people are thinking that the luxe is that expensive. It's the same price as a dm9 and its cheaper than a sl8r. Mind you, just a few years ago people were paying this much for autocockers and emags ...

Meh, I'll stick with my Mini for an electronic gun. It's a gun that could be priced a lot higher. If I ever decide to upgrade it I would probably get a Macdev gun.

The Geo looks cool but it is after all just another spool valve.

The 09 Ego is basically the same as all the others with new milling and frame...

She's got a point here.

Personally I'd rather just stick with my 2002 manufactured phantom

Straight from an unbiased source.

Do you think it's subliminal that the GEO animation is cycling faster than the EGO?

Whoever came up with the new name is an idiot. The first time I saw somebody talking about a '09 PE GEO' I though they had just misspelled EGO. Since somebody already mentioned scrabble, how hard is it to reach into a bag and just name it the 'PE AESTJ' as opposed to throwing a three letter name into a randomizer.

Hmm, I really wish I had a more detailed look at the routing of that solenoid. Looks spiffy the way it's all set up.

Past that, it's the same-old, but at least they decided to think outside the box on that one. And very, very clever advertising... "Only 3 dynamic seals... on the bolt assembly", thereby leaving out the fact that their solenoid has something like 12.

Ugly as sin though.

A PEGEO (Pee go...) ? What's next for PE names? The '10 Festiva? The '11 Sunfire (sunflower)?

On my local forum, a discussion was being had on the GEO. I go completely slammed for saying the GEO was an overpriced spooler..... At least people here agree with me.

Another nothing special about it marker.

To be fair, only one guy was slamming you, and he's now banned.

I do agree with you, I haven't ever figured out how these people justify spending that much cash on these, especially since they hold no resale value whatsoever.

I wish they would come out with a pump.

I agree. I would love to see more "mainstream" companys like Dye, PE, and smartparts make pumps. I really think that is the direction paintball will be going soon anyway.
