I'm not sure about that quad detent thing, but otherwise they look quite awesome.

Man... I need to stop coming to this site. All you guys do is make me spend money.

[Cdn_Cuda]

That's okay, I'll buy it from you for cheap when you decide you don't want it anymore!

[Ego10Baller]

Those look really nice.

I think moderating without coming to the site might be hard

The price tag means I'm not buying one anytime soon. But good luck to anyone who does!

Dumb idea of you ask me...

You'll be shooting the paint from static rest out of the breach and into the barrel now.

[nak81783]

Agreed. Like Azodins, although no quad detents, which break quite a bit of paint unless using the toughest field grade, because they shoot the ball into the barrel.

[mooman978]

Have all the previous quirks of these guns been ironed out yet?

[ChuckLove]

Haha it's Nova, what do you think?

[ChuckLove]

This seems like a strange idea on a closed bolt gun. Isn't the ball going to clip the smaller bore of the barrel and break?

[Ecapnation]

Yeah... Like in the sterlings with Spyder threads

[RuleOfSines]

Be better off designing an open-bolt cocker in my mind.

[plunderin]

I guess it is for the "tube is tube" crowd and you just use a .695 that can shoot anything and don't care about efficiency?

[Ecapnation]

You'll blow air out of the second detent covers

It’s nice to see them…or anyone on earth for that matter…actually innovating and innovating in a way that is looooong over due: preventing rollouts. They idea that someone would buy a brand new Freeflow or CCM for four digits and the manufacturer is just kinda…pretends you can buy paint from 1993 still…conveniently ignoring the gun’s only problem. It’s bizarre. It’s nice to see Nova at least try to see if this will work. Also the price is not bad considering you don’t need a $100 barrel for it.

HOWEVER…all I can say is that auto trigger must be the hardest damned thing to develop on earth. They redesigned the body and the pneumatics on the Auto version but the pump version still has no AT like CCM, Inception, or even Azodin. It must be incredibly difficult for even a manufacturer to make it work. I know as a DIYer I gave up on my own fabricobbled stuff that only worked %88 of the time and only if held a certain way and just went back Nelson AT which is easy to make work and works perfectly always.

Has anyone here used one of the AT Azodin pumps? Does it work?

[DieManInTheRough]

After some modification. Drilling the pump arm, and a crap load of loc-tite on both ends of the pump arm.

[Jsc5150]

Aren’t you the “all you need is electrical tape”-guy anyway? You’re correct though

AT is surprisingly tricky to get right on cockers and spyders. My inception AT works but will eventually stop after the hammer lug vibrates a mm in or out. I would fix it with low strength loctite but I can’t be bothered when I’m not playing airball

I do unironically love that NOVA confidently makes stuff nobody asked for.

[Impactfour]

They also very poorly executed the things that people have been begging for, such as the duckslide debacle. Really just a uniquely chaotic company

[RPP]

I'm hopeful the quad detents will lead to some cool innovations in the future.

I’ve soured on nova after the recent Duckslide fiasco. Now they’re fudging returns and ghosting customers? Can’t get behind that . I can forgive the issues, but I won’t tolerate shit customer service anymore. They can do better and I hope they do because Nova has couple markers I’d love to pick up, this one included.

My issue with them is that everything is a copy of someone else’s hard work and it’s all made in China. Bad customer service is probably more of a side effect of the two other issues. That is…they didn’t design it…they don’t actually make it…how much can they possibly help you with it? They are not big believers in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genchi_Genbutsu to say the least.

The Duckslyde should have been an instant hit. The OG is basically just a huge heavy pump handle that makes a Phantom “cooler” but objectively worse in every way. People don’t even shoot the things, they just sell them onto the next guy. How hard is that to copy?
