at first when i heard about this i was think WTF?
now i'm actually liking quite a few of the ideas they came up with.

My mind is so blown right now... I've haven't been this excited for a gun since the Aedes..too bad that was never released...

Edit: I wonder if it will make for sore thumbs and pumping with a bare barrel would probably cramp your hand. It would be nice if they came with some kind of grip to make the barrel more ergonomic hint hint. I would also be interested if you can put the adjustable pumping lever really far forward so that you can actuate it with your off hand thumb and not your trigger hand.

Wife wasn't too impressed but I think I am getting in on this.

This looks very cool. I would love to get me one of these for sure!

I think with the thumb type pump, having the M16 grip might make it very comforable to pump it with the grip sweeping back further than a 45 style. Me personally, like the 45 style grips much better, but I think overall the position of your hand might be better off with the grip as is.

I see adding a cocker ram and a 3way and we have a semi on our hands. Great pump version and it's a little different. Kind of reminds me of the Epic.

Neat. Not going to pre-order but this will be very interesting to see down the road.

Valve system sounds pretty much like a pump optimized boltless mag. And the moving barrel reminds me of a Nova.

I see the need for something around the barrel to make a 'pump handle', but the options could be endless, as it could be set-screwed to the barrel, and milled/turned into any shape.
I like this, and I'm happy to see another pump hit the market.
I wish Metadyne great success with this offering.

Makes me think of Splatmasters.

I envision some really cool pistol style guns with this.

Almost wish I were in the market for a new gun.

SWEET!

I can't pre order cause I have no money but I am very interested in getting one in the near future.

Does anyone else see making a lever action out of this?
