Looks like a mini, ego clone.  No external hoses.  Really is quite a sexy gun.

SP was trying to claim a patent on gas-thru regulated grips (i.e. mini and this) but some people (I wonder who that could have been....) provided the USPTO with prior art to nail those SOBs on this one.

Word. I've never really thought of how much I like how my guns look without hoses, but it adds a bit more form to the overall outline of the gun and looks quite nice.... Why does this remind me that I wanna make a Call of Duty World At War ray gun mockup?Shocked

Oh god.... We don't need this to turn into a PbN thread. How a gun looks is nothing how it operates. Pretty sure this is new stacked tube technology. G3s are spool/single tube.

I really like the look of it, but I wouldn't consider buying one. I've got too much love for my current gun's manufacturer. AKALMP > SP

Mean Man no I don't have one.  It would make a nice paper weight for me for all but 2 days a year. 
 
My next gun would be an ion.  I know they "suck" but for 150.00 they sure do shoot smooth(they really do) and will make a nice woodsball beater.  I still own my old paint hose.

I love the shap of the foregrip and the sleek look of the trigger system, it looks like a smooth gun but how does it perform?

Who has prior art for gas thru grips?

Seeing as how the Luxe is currently out with no issues.
Que pasa?
