Alright, these things seem interesting... Question.

Explain to me how these work, I have never been able to find a cut-away or even pictures of a disassembled Tribal.

The design is close to a Bushmaster B2K if I rember right. There is a Tribal Owners Group but I don't have the link.....I am at work and the link is at home.....you might google it and come up with something.

Tribal owners group
Just as Crash said the are very similar in design to the Impulse/Bushmaster.

...or Impulses or Angels or Timmys or Defiants or etc. The list goes on and on, as many electros use this drivetrain to work.

Basically you've got a HPR feeding the valve and powering the ball out the barrel while a LPR feeds a separate channel to a solenoid which moves a ram back and forth. The ram is connected to the bolt (which is normally open, making this an open-bolt marker), so when the ram moves forward to open the valve, the bolt also moves forward to close the paintball into the breech of the barrel and receive the air coming up from the valve. Pretty standard poppet-valve electroflinger operation.

If I wasnt in the middle of my own brass project I might. :P Tiss a beaut.

Thank you guys, I'll be looking into these, I have only seen a few pictures of these things and the way the hoses run I thought they might run in some odd fashion. Well that and I have seen a mechanical one before, which really made me unsure how they worked. :P

No, they're pretty simple (as far as electros go). And with the right board, they'll perform just like the high end modern electroflingers out there.

Absolutely. They have no resale value whatsoever except to people who love them (I guess that's a given), but throw a new board and some eyes in there and you've got a marker that'll give an ego7 a run for it's money. Best of all they're meaty, and offer room for whatever milling style you can imagine.
