I'm not even a milsim guy, but I still want it. I think the reason I'm not so hot on the existing milsim stuff is that the focus seems to be an achieving realism through bulkiness and redundant parts, parts that in some cases are necessary drawbacks to actual gun designs and that do nothing except weigh the marker down. So this SMG style is very appealing, a nice balance between authentic weapons style and marker functionality.

Eh, the SP-1 seems like a less successful attempt at creating an MP-7 in paintball marker format. I like the SP-1, but compared to this, it's a pretty far cry from the real deal.

Thoughts?
Feel?
Weight?
Durability?

wow, throw a 13ci tank and a pocket hopper on that and I'd definitely use it.

Thoughts: WOO! EP MILSIM!
Feel: Wonderful. It's very well-balanced, feels very solid, feels like a real gun. Something about it makes me just want to hold it.
Weight: Very light. I'd say it weighs only a few more ounces then my Cyborg, and lighter then a BT-4.
Durability: Made of what looks like high-strength plastics, the same stuff that ATS guns are made of. Keeps the weight down and the toughness up. I want one, bad.

(haven't read the thread at all)

Seen the TM-7 at Dday. Quite impressive if you like milsim markers. I can forsee this being much more popular than the SP8. Very very fast OMG.

The SP-8 pretty much symbolizes everything I don't like about milsim. Take a nimble marker and give it the appearance of one of the bulkiest assault rifle designs around. Also, give it a very plastic look and feel for good measure.

I like it, but I don't like that it's HPA only.

I can't get HPA filled where I am.

I cant add anything new to whats already been said, it really it amazing. Its nice to see a Milsim that still has all paintball function with no added "fat". Its very solid and has the mold quality of a real composite firearm.

I'm going to buy one and slap a lapco apex on it- I'll cover the Apex with a drilled out CF tube. I would like to find out how they went from there basic bread and butter design to this- to me its like Cadillac jumping from their old 90's body styles to their newer body style in one year- someone got a big Christmas bonus that year at Cadillac.
