There are three things I can think of that I haven't heard of in a while. One is the Thin Air companies new marker... at least I think that is the one I am thinking of. It had Bronc involved and there was a thread about it a while ago and the thread has disappeared and I have no idea whatever became of them. The other is the strike back pack loader that was tube fed and had a promo video up here a while back. Last I heard was they were bought out by valk and nver heard a peep from them since and it has been about a year now. And lastly, what is up with the new pinokio loader? Will there ever be one at this rate?

I believe the Thin air marker will be a while considering its a prototype when we saw it last. The backpack, I have no idea. And as for the Pinokio F1, I heard that there isn't much time until its a thing, but I'm not sure

One of the ones I remember was the company posing pics of a prototype gun, that was all raw metal and stuff. They said they were going to put a camera in the feedneck, it would have two microswitches and be aimed at being as fast as possible. I have no idea how that didn't work out for them.

I'm also wondering if the Angel Eyes design will maybe be released by another company or something... It looked great. :(

that dual micro switch camera in the feedneck gun was a joke... they tried to market it as a "its so fast its banned in every tournament league" gun.... doesnt seem like a smart move on their part... i also think peachie was involved with them, i.e. girlpaintballer


i also jsut watched that strike loader ad video again... such a bad ad... i think less of valken now because of that ad....

That was horrible. Since when do paintball guns sound like real guns and players carry laptops around...

according to their facebook page, Bronc and Ydna are working on funding so they can launch it. I was really interested in that marker, their claims about it having electronics never seen before in a paintball gun aswell has describing the drivetrain as a two stage spool crossed with an inline disconnected poppet and the fact that they based it off the 4B kit makes it seem like something we have never seen before. I hope it comes out, I would buy one unless its insanely overpriced.

he was talking about the video for the strike loader, they used bad quality real firearm sounds and had a laptop on the field.

That was a horrible video, but I still really wanted one. Does that make me a bad person..... the answer is yes, probably.

Ah, I was on the exact site and filled the info out for a pre order about what seems like a year or so ago. They are supposed to be available world wide in 2012. They still have about a month left to make that happen I suppose. lol
