What makes a marker feel cheap? Sloppy trigger, crappy grip materials are a big part of it, but not all of it, for me

Mine doesn't feel cheap.. Feels good. I do have an upgraded trigger though.

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.

yeah, after using DP guns i would never buy a hosed gun again...

those are fairly easy to fix....

the G3 trigger is pretty "sloppy" but it's one of my favorites i've felt. and the grips are miles ahead of the crappy fusion ones.

It just feels like a toy to me. It feels very different, like it's not set like other guns. They milling may be coo looking, but that's not what everyone goes for in a marker believe it or not. It doesn't feel as balanced as other markers on the market to me. Idk, it's just really hard to describe. It is nice to see other companies ... I just wish I liked them more.

The threshold felt better to me than a PM8...

The Threshold looks horrendous. The milling just doesn't do it for me, it kind of looks like a dragon. The F8 looks wonderful though. I have been tempted to get one, but I have never shot a DP gun, or any electro.

DP obviously attended the Bob Long School of Marker Milling. Their guns, especially the Threshold, are very reminiscent of his 2002-2005-era stuff.

i'm not a fan of any bob long milling (except maybe the protege). i think the threshold looks pretty good in person, but the milling is very over-the-top. i like cleaner lines.

I agree- the Threshold looks a bit too radical for me, but the G3 on the other hand...
