New Angel G7

yeah, just out of preference, i dont like the wdp pants, like frogman said they are much too tight, where the other pants are alot baggier, my proto pants have ridiculous amonts of bounce, where my teamamte with the wdp pants rarely get any bounces on his legs with them on. Also my pants have lots more pockets and litle extra things then his. and he paid 80$ more then me. This to me just shows the better product is not always where the higher price is.

Nope - I play in ancient leftover cammies.  Bought'em for $5 at the surplus store.

I don't do combat pajamas.  They all cost too much for my taste, not to mention that they look goofy.

You are still completely and utterly missing my point.  "Overpriced" means a couple of different things, depending on your perspective.

From a strict capitalist economic perspective, "overpriced" means something that is priced so high that it won't sell.  Since WDP pants sell, they clearly are not overpriced by this standard.

From a socialist perspective, "overpriced" means something that provides for more than a minimal profit for the seller.  WDP pants may be overpriced by this standard - hard to tell since we don't know WDP's financials.  Not that I care, since I am not a socialist.

From a whiny child's perspective, "overpriced" means something that costs more than the whiny child wants to pay.  WDP pants may very well be overpriced by this standard, depending on the whiny child.

So, unless you have anothe definition of overpriced in mind (please inform if this is the case), since you find WDP pants overpriced, you are either a socialist or a whiny child.  In neither case do I particularly value your opinion.

So, your definition of overpriced is "higher priced than other products of similar quality".  Fair enough.  That falls into the "whiny kid" category.  Thanks for clearing that up.

I tried to read some of this, I made it to page 3 and couldn't deal any more...

The G7 is STILL a prototype... not a single one of you has shot one, but you all have opinions on it being worse/better than some of the existing high end markers available now.

The $1700 price tag is not set in stone, why would it be?   They aren't out yet.   However, I would expect a realistic MSRP to be in the neighborhood of $12-1300.   A new DM4 is $1100, DM5 $1300 and a Proto $1000.   Timmies are $1400 for the A-Bomb, etc...   They will compet with those markers and I expect a price point in the smae range.

Marker speed is relative to many factors: user's finger speed, electronics (bounce, ramp, dwell, eye, etc...), live or simulate, hopper.   Why argue?   The 4.12356 balls that you put into the air in a fraction of a second compared to the 4.0164 balls I put in the air in the same time relate to... nothing!!!  

As for my opinions on the marker, I had some observations.   The marker is set up for a lefty.   The display is on the right side of the gun, not a big deal, but for dominant "righties" like me, it could be an issue.

I also have concerns about the Membrane pads on the front of the inline foregrip.   80% of the time I get hit it is in the foregrip/knuckles.   Not a great idea there.   Which brings me to the foregrip itself... no options for upgrades here.   There seems to be no way to swap out the inline for well, anything.

Other than that, I can't have any more of an opinion until I get some trigger (with paint... simulation is pretty dumb) time.
