Yawn.

Another stacked tube blowback pistol. The design has already been shown to be less efficient, less consistent, and all around inferior to designs like the Tiberius line.

Add in the crappy tacked-on feed tube and huge size and you have a recipe for a craptastic pistol.

The only possible redeeming quality is the lever changer. Hopefully the 12 gram seals and pierce pin are half decent or able to be replaced by ones that are (CCI).

The total lack of any kind of innovation is perfectly clear.

Looks good to me. BT makes good markers, so maybe this will be a good pistol for the money--not a T8, but hey, it looks pretty cool!

you know what.

I think this may be a good start to something good,
They allow dummy 12ies
They allow First strick
They have ASA adaptability
They have insterts
They have Autococker threaded front tips,
the 12 gram replacement level system is quick and looks easy.
The Spring loaded tube can be reversed, and loaded quickly with ten round tubes without taking it off, it allows hopper additions

Honestly It has some good perks to it.

I think If they were to throw some quality time in making the pistol a compact and clean design, you have a Really smart little marker in your hands.
Whats to complain? Its not 250$ for a pistol, and it allows modifycations Right out of the box.

I like it. I think of it as the little Fiat, it may not be a sports car. But will certaintly give you a fun time.

I love my T8 but this does not look that bad.
Great to see another company thinking about First Strike rounds.


Question: since you can reverse the tube feed, can you put TWO tubes on it and get 20 rounds?

Jackson, as TA user you have to give them credit for the First Strike feed shape. you need more marker companies using FS to bring down the price of them.

i held one at Living Legends, and its pretty well built (meaning heavy/98% metal) which is a surprise to me cause when i held a tm7 it was all plastic.

it seems like a pretty good universal marker, but not for me.

Seems like a lot of nice features. And I'm not a pistol player, so I don't know how it'll stack up against the T8 or TPX. Seems somewhat silly to me to have the ability for a clamping feedneck, bottomline, and ASA. Why wouldn't you just get a regular marker if you're looking to add this stuff. Seems like a lot of work to build something that someone already sells for less.

I messed with one at livinglegends...the feed system looks poorly made. Almost like an aluminum 10rnd tube with a slot milled in it for a spring guide :angry:
