Just curious, why is a mech Ion such a big deal?

[andrewthewookie]

Mostly because it's bringing a nice shooting gun to the ultra cheap market. But apart from that, there's a bunch of people who've taken regular Ions and mech'd them, cause they're just cool.

But why closed bolt? It's not any better than open bolt, and just brings in new obstacles to the situation. I will admit that the closed bolt Ion project intrigues me, but that's because I know what I'm doing with a paintball gun. For someone just getting into paintball, you'll want them to have the most foolproof and easy to use gun they can get. They'll have to use underbored barrels, and having a closed bolt significantly decreases the time allotted to get a paintball in the breech. An open bolt gun is just naturally timed better for grav-fed and other non-forcefeed loaders.

Cuz closed bolt is cool

I'm not saying it would make financial sense for GoG to release it closed bolt as that's not their target audience. I would, however, buy one if that was the case. I want a closed bolt, mech ion and they're out of kits. This would solve that. I'm, admittedly, thinking quite selfishly of my needs and GoG has no reason to cater to them. But, again, I can dream.

Either way, if it is a mech ion this is pretty cool. Since one eventually always brings up patents when discussing the Gardners, it would be interesting to see if Colin Bryant Moritz has anything to say about this new marker:

While the patent wars are warming up in the phone world, hopefully they've cooled off in the paintball world. It would be highly doubtful that he has the financial resources to pursue it, anyways.

[andrewthewookie]

That's an indirect valve though, in that the valve routes air which then actuates a valve which moves the trigger. The mech Ions use a direct valve.

[Jaccen]

If the Apple vs. Samsung patent cases have taught us anything, it's that the actual technical merits of a patent have little to do with the verdict the courts/jurors decide

Careful - some knowledge, once given, cannot be unknown.

I will stick with my autococker, they are just too much fun to tech with. Lol, still awesome idea though. +1 for GOG.

If it's $120 or less I'm sold. I already miss my Mech Ion way too damn much.

[dpiiMpAcT]

for the price i would think its not that bad

[crPaliza]

I might have to sell my loaner marker (Kaos) and buy this just to play with it...

...and so my children, this would be the first shot in the coming Kaos v. eNMEy forum wars.

Incidentally, my gut says they'll price this between the Tippman 98c and the Azodin Kaos-D - so $140 to $180 price range. It'll be harder for them to come down off the $200 eNVy and $250 eXTCy price points, especially if the eNMEy will be backwards upgradable to an eXTCy.

[Cookybiscuit]

Azodin be mad.
