What else does it do? any new innovations to it?

1700 bucks... LOL. I'd rather buy a Hurricane.

Looks like the bolt assembly is held in the back using a ball bearing for tool-less removal. That looks kinda neat.

Blazer and tac-1 with a few hundred to spare for me.

Ignition used to be a MacDev team, then they dropped Macdev and were suddenly involved with the development of a marker very similar to the Droid, but about 8 months behind it.

No hard facts, but there's been rumors that they "borrowed" ideas from the Droid prototypes for the Pikkadoll.

Until the bolt or the body gets worn out like the old ANS cocker bolts and your bolt assembly flies out of the back of the gun.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. But, wouldn't the air pressure itself keep the bolt assembly in place?

It might hold until the bolt cycled and caused the assembly to move a little. I imagine as soon as the holes didn't line up properly it would do the champagne cork impression right into your face.

^^ Couldn't agree more. I like the droid setup. Is it really that hard to remove a screw or two in order to remove the drivetrain??

1700 is way high. I guess they aren't wanting to sell a lot of them... ...that is more than the over(rated, priced, hyped...) 08 ego.

The Vice is the high end killer. The more people that shoot them, the more trouble PE, WDP, Macdev, and SP are going to have. 750 gets you a new gun with 4c that performs as good as or better than any marker any of them sell.

The pikkadoll's time has passed before it ever made it to market. The days of 1700 guns are gone, and with each passing season you will see the high ends drop a little more.
