instead of the first pull piercing the 12 gram, you gotta pull back a slide, like a 9mm. or something.
no idea how it would happen, but with the paintball geeks working at Tippmann, i'm sure it could be done, expencive, but still be done.

<nope> that would be better than simply pulling the trigger once. it would look sweet.

I lol'd. Hard. And it certainly wasn't WITH you. Pull the stick out of your butt and grow up. It's a useless feature, and pulling the trigger to pierce is faster and WAY more convenient than racking a slide. I'd bet you've never even shot a pistol before. "Like a 9mm or something." Hah. Now let's look at it in a business sense. TheGuy is right. Why would a company redesign a pistol they just spent months on designing in the first place? And all for an overly complicated, inconvenient design? All because some kid on the interwebz wanted it to be more "like a 9mm or something." By the way, that kind of language and attitude will get you banned. Not that we'd care... ------------- Evil Elvis: "Detrevni is definally like a hillbilly hippy from hell"

You missed the part where the original poster flew off his rocker. It's all about presentation my friend. ------------- Evil Elvis: "Detrevni is definally like a hillbilly hippy from hell"

slow down you guys, it was just an idea, just because some of us don't wast our times posting replys and becoming platinum members on sites were you got nothing better to do than rip on other peoples ideas, doesnt mean u need to get upset or anything.
so pop those zits you computer geek and get a life.
P.S. "It's all about presentation my friend." no its not, i got to the point. i dont like reading five paragraphs about some ones idea, just to find out it isn't something i like. so your welcome.

who ripped on you? I posted a reply and you flew off the handle. You need to learn how to act in a civilized society, and then convey that to us. Otherwise you will never be taken seriously. By the way, I got to platinum very slowly. My average is 3 posts per day. So maybe you should leanr how to act, before you jump on our board and try to start a flaming war. ------------- http://www.anomationanodizing.com - My Site

I suggested the original poster's idea about a slide piercing the 12 gram during the design and planning stage of the marker and obviously they choose not to go that route for their own reasons. One being the gun wasn't designed for that feature. And actually, effective communication on this forum is about presentation and respect. |

The list by:DeTrevni, Uh... Yes? I own a 8mm Mauser bolt action military rifle, a .22 LR rifle (good for nothing but plinking really), a 12g over/under shotgun, a 28g (a very hard to find shell), a 20g shotgun and two black powder rovovlers, both .44 caliber. I've tested my uncle's .357 Sig-Saur (I can't ever remember if it's the P226 or P228) semi, .357 Mag Colt Python (by far the smoothest revolver I've shot), and my father owns a Harrington and Richardson .32 pocket-protector revolver and a .38 special revolver, both of which I've shot. I've also shot my grandfather's 10g shotgun (kicks like a mule) and my friend's Mosin-Nagant. I'm about to purchase a different uncle's SKS assault rifle, in 7.62X34 caliber. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.)
