Shocker look-alike?

Harbringer:
I never said the price tag is "justified", thats why I said" if the price tag was not so hefty...". Is the price tag justified on an EGO?

How about the manifold on my Freestyle? I always hear about the SP solenoid screws stripping out if you look at them funny. Never had a problem with them. Yet my Freestyle has a stripped out manifold because the screws they used only grip by a few threads, and I happened to look at them funny. I wont even get into the milling marks on my Freestyle. Dont get me wrong I love my ICD products, and would never get rid of them, just making a point.
Thanks for completely missing my point . The DLX or whatever it's called looks much more like a Droid or DM than a Shocker. I never said that the Droid was the first to have that look.

Looks like they took the second picture heated it up a little, then stretched, and bent it. Or maybe they just dropped it after it got heated.

SP patent theft was mentioned this actually seems to be the gun that they were trying to patent the "gas thru grip" for which a bunch of us made a huge stink about late last year... which is why we've seen the comment about it looking like a mini. Another case of SP "borrowing" some one else's idea... I just hope this time that they weren't able to "back" patent someone else's work.

Raion .... sugar coat it all you want. Only those with time and experience can see through the SP "advertising" machine to read what is going on... and I'm afraid you don't have that ability yet. plain and simple as the goofy nose on my ugly face.

even tho this POS is 1500 im sure they will still offer "ups" you can purchase, im guessing this has its own barrel thread so they can sell more barrels too? Honestly I dont see why anyone would even consider looking at this POS, if someone wants the air-thru grip go badly just buy an invert mini, im glad SP got burnt on trying to steal that patent I can see this gun flopping worse than the tippmann triumph.

I still do not even consider that an actual product. I think Tippmann decided to release a shoddy marker to make all of their other products look amazing in comparison.
