I played a few games with a threshold. It was a very nice marker. Lots of bang for your buck. DP makes good markers at a very reasonably price.

Well "feeling" cheap has nothing to do with their actually performance or physical strength.

The milling might be a little rougher, they might weigh a little more than some, but I found they had great efficiency and consistency .

Actually.. The new G3 weighs less than a Mini, and DP markers are generally light. The F8 weighs like 1.9 pounds, and the G3 like 1.8pounds. The F7's aren't even that heavy either, like 2.3 pounds.

I love the way these DP's perform having shot both fusions the I just generaly don't care for a lot of the milling they do.

DP guns are actually fairly light:

New DP Gun: G3 (Official Pics)

with the exception of the original Fusion they are some of the lightest guns out there.

i just got my G3 and I'm loving it so far (but haven't gotten to play with it yet):

xluben's G3 Pics - PbNation

if you dig around that DP site link enough i think you'll also see they have a full site in the works.

Sorry, I was refering to the F7 only, I think they were 2.5 lbs or so. Which is huge to a crowd that will pay an extra $800 for a barrel kit and 2 oz less weight.

The main thing I like about the Fusion platform compared to it's rivals is the lack of internal hoses. Like a Cyborg, every thing is manifold mounted and very simply to take apart and work on.
