Welcome to Gaia! ::

Smartparts is comming out with a lower end marker to compete with Spyder. Its plastic, upgradeable, has vision, and can shot about 15bps. Its supposed to retail at arround $250-300.

Tippmann is finially comming out with an electronic tourny gun. Its supposed to be a fast version of the 98 with vision.

Spyder released its new hinge trigger. The the trigger attataches to the frame in the middle insted of the top. It also has two contacts, one on the top and the other on the bottom. Its supposed to make the marker much faster.

I just seen a new set of triggers with magnetic bearrings. I forgot who makes them but its a third party. There is almost no friction when you pull the trigger and they should give you an extra 1 or 2 bps. You can get them for Angel, Matrix, Nerve, Shocker, and a few others.

Two leagues are now allowing 3 balls fired for every one trigger pull, so expect to see a slew of new boards.

Impulse will be getting a new board by summer.

oh well all i kno is that russian legion is going to start shooting russain legion freestyles and syn is what it looks like on there website a viking

also the dmc came out from dye

proto matrix is still lighter the proto is 2 ounces lighter then the dm5 and the dmc is just 1 once lighter

The Ion has finally been fixed and should be back in stores by now.

Tippmann just released a new flatline barrel for the A-5. It is a solid one-piece design that is supposed to eleminate many problems of the prievous flatline. It is also supposed to be much easier to install and align, and it will allow you to shoot much faster than the last model.

Those of you who remember chatting with me about barrels know that i hate the flatline, however I got my hands on the revamped one for the A-5 and it is the best barrel that I hav ever owned. I like it better than my freak, wich I thought was the best barrel made for a long time.

You can shoot full auto with this flatline and not have any accuracy problems at all. I've shot a few cases through mine and havent broken a single ball or have one go flying wildly off to only god knows where. The flatline coupled with a red dot sight allows me to hit dead on at 50-100 feet consistantly, and you'll still accuratly hit the target up to 250 feet.

This barrel is a sniper's dream and it's excelent for long range supression. With it you can sit back and snipe scouts, then unleash a load of woop-a** on a small group befor thay can get close enough to touch you.

In my openion, the new flatline for the A-5 is a perfect 10.

Another thing is that they are bored out a little more. And yes they are f***'n sweat guns.
