Official Thread for Classic Matrix Pictures

[zinger565]

Nothing super fancy here. Original "Limited Edition" E-Matrix with newer LCD lowers. Not entirely sure what I want to do with it. Part of me wants to return it to "stock" status, the other part of me wants to put some custom work and get it showroom worthy.

DYE LCD's need love too!



Toxics need representin. One of those millings that you just have to see in person, No amount of pictures will ever do it justice:

Serial #01748 Push-button LED Gun20

*Fun fact* - I also owned the "Superman" Aardvark F1 Prototype that Bones posted for a year or two. That slam bolt was magical! Won a tournament waaay back in the day with that marker. Last I heard, it made it's way back into Drew's rightful hands.

Who's this Bones guy and what does he know about Matrices?

Very nice markers. That Aardvark is droolworthy.

Never like the look of the Ironman Matrices, but those Shocktechs and Traumas... oh boy.

Once I get my Gen E's and mixmaster assembled and tested, I'll post those.

Aardvark Tequila Sunrise. 'Nuff said



NYX Matrix #208/350, gen-II CNC mo. (picture below) Three generations of NYX's exist.





Shocktech Image Matrix (picture below). Built by one of the powerhouse boutique PB shops: BBT, hand built by Danny Love himself. Extremely limited run of approx. 18, all team guns, and never released to the public. Only a few have been seen in circulation.





Shocktech Matrices (pictures below):














Ironmen Matrix (pictures below) Fun fact: this was the first marker to break an MSRP of $1499 for a single marker without an air-system bundle. This was back in 2001-2002. Only about 125 made approx. This is the marker that would eventually lead spool-based markers to slowly takeover the pro-circuit. Fast forward to today. All professional teams use spoolies. But the original Matrix remains one of the fastest and smoothest markers ever made, even by today's standards.







My workhorse (pictured below). Ironmen with an Aardvark SLAM bolt-kit installed. NSFW: SLAM porn:










FreeFlow Trauma Matrixes (pictured below) 1/2 done in white by PK Selective. One has eyes and is all original with al FF parts(pictured), the other is blind. Most white clear anodizing I've ever seen.
