Watch it.

Watching the video it looks like a Mag in a Tippmann body.


And No I do not approve of it.

Hmmm...that 'Flex Technology' looks kinda familiar...

Not a bad-looking gun. If I were into woodsball, I would definitely look into this gun.

minus the quality.

I like the list at the end where they say "you can't find any of these features in any other gun".

flex valve- basically a mag valve
from electro to mech mode- Emag
double the number of shots- oooooooh boy, i don't think so
more accurate- the old open bolt vs closed bolt argument? oh gee
compact design- I think a Mini is more compact

god I hate marketing.

halfway down

I wanna see the internals of the valve tho, they managed to get the operating pressure down to 300 psi apparently
Wonder if that affects the max rof

as for the improved accuracy, they didnt say it was because of the open bolt, it was because of reduced recoil or something

I like how they say it's supposedly the easiest marker to field strip tho....

You forgot to mention that thye stole the half effect sensor from the emag as well.

Oh I noticed that..i stood right out at me, but it wasn't in the info posted at the end.

here are the automag valve and the Phenom valve

Automag


Phenom

So, is the on/off mounted horizontaly? I don't get how it's actuated without a sear.

[Coralis]

wow, that exploded view of the phenom valve reminds me a little bit of a nelson based pump marker with the power tube and all.

There are better pics on PBN. The on/off is mounted just like an automags, the "noid" appears to be similar to an emags but smaller of course, it is just a noid with a plunger that plunges the on off up.

there is no sear, I think because the valve when at rest has zero pressure applied to the bolt. I think the chamber only fills after you pull the trigger and once the metered gas is realesed the on/off cuts off air flow to the chamber completely.

better pics and you can see the "noid plunger" and the vertically mounted on/off.

Thanks. Now I understand it better. How much will it cost? Something around $400 or more?

[maniacmechanic]

the valve is made from plastic , correct ?? , lifespan ??
