Ehh, I'm almost positive it was around when I joined the forum, but maybe not... So, 2004-2005 is a good guess. |

Oooh. Argument. Regarding what? He think they still make them, or that they're "old school?"

I REALLY don't want to start the anti-Smart Parts debate here, but he thinks that Tippmann ran away from Smart Parts's patent of the EP marker, which was issued in 2002 (# 6,474,326). And he thinks that the E-Trigger is way better (though he doesn't understand the difference between EP and blowback) Link to patent |

I sincerely doubt they ran away from any patent. Tippmann is the #1 seller in terms of revenue in the industry, and if you look at exactly who smart parts sued, it was small companies that couldnt put up a fight.
The e-bolt was stopped for the same reason as most things, it was too complicated for the average idiot to install. |
