just picked this up for my girlfriends primary marker. its been abused by previous owners, but now that its with me it will live out the rest of its life happily. its a sweet psychoflauge annoed epic, the anno needs to be touched up in a few places but that wont be bad. i hope my girlfriend wants it upgraded a bit, because i want to have some fun with it.

That paint job took a heck of a long time to do. I personally think you should fix any small scratches and then get some kind of clear coat on it to preserve what obviously took a long time to apply. I hope she enjoys the marker.

I have never heard of thet gun, but i think it looks cool (coming from the dude with the purple gun)...

Well, whatever it is, I think it looks very unique and deserves to be preserved. Somebody spent a lot of time working on it.

I would still kill for an Epic. If my next gun isn't an electro, it's gonna be an Epic.

it has no bolt but acually pressurizes the air then releases it all at once with alot of force and propels the ball forth creating a vitually no chop gun at all and is gas efficient

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.
