| Idiot savant of Jenga  Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: NoHo, CA | Not a bad gun either... We rented them at the field I worked at. Like the guy says, it takes ank o-rings throughout the marker. Cheap to run, cheap to fix - just how a JABB should be.

| Pump Gun Dealer  Join Date: Mar 2006 Location: Pender Island, BC  | Just Another Blow Back. Also seen as STBB (Stacked Tube Blow Back). Pretty much any blow back marker based on a sheridan style design with a poppet valve in the bottom tube, hit by a hammer + bolt linked together.

| Cutthroat Connoisseur  Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Rochester, NY | reading about this gun in APG almost made me buy one as my first marker, but at that point it was all about price and the spyder compact was cheaper by like $15 lol one of these days i'll pick up a GT2000 just for nostalgia. I remember the ad too "NO PLASTIC PARTS, SO IT WONT BREAK!" i wish i had seen this auction sooner

The JABB term refers to the fact that in the late 90s, spyder-clones FLOODED the market. Every major company was producing some variant. So much that it drove the price down to as little as $35 for a plastic Spyder at walmart. It got to the point where the only difference was the useless chrome add-ons. Most interesting was that Kingman actually tried to SUE all those companies that produced "stacked tube blowbacks" on the grounds that they were copying the trademarked "look" of Spyders. This is of course ridiculous since the Spyder is a near identical copy of the old Bushmaster Promaster. There have been far fewer individual inline blowbacks. So, seeing an inline other then a Tippmann is a fairly rare occurrence. I'm told the issue is that inline blowbacks are slightly more expensive to make, and there are more patent and licensing hurdles to deal with. nick | |
