Weird.

I have a table beside my bed with all my guns and yes a few do find their way between the sheets......
I'm sick.

I love the idea. I personally avoid most high-end due to cost and headaches, and when I play in the woods my ROF is lower. But, this is something that is long overdue... a high end rec gun that isn't just expensive because its different but because it is quality.

While yes, performance-wise this will blow everything else milsim/tacsim out of the water it won't put a dent in any other products sales. Cost is and always will be the #1 factor and contrary to what a lot of people think the vast majority of milsim/ woodsballers wallets are just as tight as tourney players.

From a retailers perspective, the X7 and especially the Alpha Blacks have been a huge success.

I love that raw body pic! After seeing that I'd rather have one nickel-plated or aurora for the Men In Black look... I'd wear a suit and sunglasses under my goggles with that!

I heard that this was his most expensive gun. So that means $800-$1000 minimum. I wonder if it will come stock with a pillow?

What are they defining as the Marq 'Engine?' Is that a new spin on saying it's a PCP, without actually saying it? It looks pretty cool and I know a few guys who would love to have something that looked like that.

Especially in semi mode with a single finger trigger & a smallish trigger guard area.

It's called ramping.
You guys ever hear of that?

That's why I put semi mode.

As in an NPPL type semi. If anybody can hit & sustain double digits with a traditional trigger pull (no fanning the trigger like with old Automags

) I'll bow down to them in their general direction (depending where they live in comparison to SoCal.)

Semi? Ramping? It's a scenario marker: why would I ever take it off FA?

As much as I love my Vectors, some of my best times at Skirmish's 24 hr games have been had with an old Angel LCD set at 13 BPS FA the whole game. Only thing I'm worried about with this, given a large supply of nicely wound Qs attached to a carefully measured feed hose, is whether the valve and reg can keep up with 28 BPS.

I'm not sure I'd want to be in a scenario game where people were spitting out 28bps.

It can. The Marq internals are awesome, I had a couple Marqs, both of them were absolute machines and could spit paint as fast as you could load it.
