They don't have a bolt at all.....as said before the just hold the air in the body before firing......The most unique thing about them, I think, is the thin delrin "Trap Door" that slides under the feedneck.....this keeps only one ball in the chamber and yes, it is very difficult to break a ball in this gun....

yea, i lost that auction... but the guy who won it was selling it on pbnation and i had to have it. he didnt make any money on that transaction (:. it just took a little longer to get to me for the same as the auction price.

they shoot great, what else is there to say? i wouldnt have bought this one if my other one wasnt good(its in the sig... it rocks).

as for upgrades, shes got a 12v revvy with xboard and nitro tank for now. ill let her play a day or two with it and see what else she "needs" for it.

theres not much that can be done to the internals of the marker, double trigger is available, trap door sizing kit, regulator upgrades... and theyve been working on an electro frame for quite a while now. they take cocker barrels and take all standard drops and junk.

to those that dont like the color... deal with it, its way unique and we like it.
