I think some of you are looking far too deeply into it to be honest. The company is putting out a new product. Its got promise in that its affordable, and customizable.

I swear, some of you aren't happy unless you've got something to gripe about, and when there IS nothing, you'll go to great lengths to conjure up baby issues and make them into some earth shattering offense.

Breath guys. Its a new paintball marker, little else.

What did you expect for new players for well under $200. Come one this wasnt marketed for elite tourny masters this is a good reliable market made to get new players and recreational players into the sport.

Tippmann inline bolt system is one of the most reliable in the sport why not use it on a marker that's marketed to get more people into the Sport. Add the DVD and the Web Content and you will have new players with a basic understanding of how to play game. This is a win situation for everyone. The more play the better the Hobby is for everyone.

Looks like the are reaching out for another youth oriented marketing tool.

I don't like it, for the same reason I refused to play America's Army.

Well, duh.

That's the whole point.  And this is bad why?

wait...i thought they were just joking about doing that?

edit- its a smart marketing tool since a lot of people want that look, and its cheap...but i guess i just sort of have a problem with the army doing this, it's almost like they're trying to promote paintball as a 'war game'. Seems like a desperate attempt to recruit...i'd like to back up that accusation by pointing out the giant US ARMY logo.
