The return of the NOVA!

[djeclypse]

So I heard on Docfire's fireside chat the other night that the Nova is coming back. Then I see this morning on FB Paintball TalkBuySell group a post from the creator of the N3 Nova with shooting vids and pictures. He didn't provide many details yet, however.

I loved the anno on the Nova's.

If I remember correctly I think he posted that he will be releasing it in January. I may be wrong, but it was something like that.

Here is a clearer shot of it I found online:

If it has cool anno I'm in

Are those both prototypes of what will eventually be the final design or will there be two different versions released?

[Bow]

Those are 2 different markers. Ones electronic the other is mechanical. At least from the vids he posted. Iirc.

[russc]

A welcome development for sure, but is he crazy???

So basically a worse Mini?

I like it. The mech market is hot now and this is something unique and made by someone outside of the Gog/PE/Dye big company groups.

Anyone have a non-FB link of the video to share?

I think everything about it so far is on Facebook.

Bacci shared it on FB and his site has a plugin to his FB page, so you could probably see it there without being on FB proper.

Ouch.

Minis are fine.

[Magmoormaster]

Not saying Minis are bad, just that the Nova is a much worse Mini. Just seems needless.

[gabe]

I think "much worse" is an overstatement. The mini's main problem is how small the poppit is and the power draw required to run the solenoid. There's some design flaws in the mini to be sure that I think could be worked around in the mechanical design. Obviously the Nova was a decent marker only let down IMO by the use of delrin for major wear parts.
