Review:
Let me just say that before i get hate mail from all of you guys go down to your local shop or whatever and trie this thing out. I dont know what the heck these other guys are talking about. First of all this thing is only cycles 10 BPS! The board may shoot 23 but the parts only cycle 10! That makes the extra 13 completley usless! Now, i may have forgiven that if the gun was accurate. After all 10Bps isn't horribly slow. But this thing is about as accurate as my spyder imagine! And do i even ned to say anything about how it looks? I think you get the picture.
Conclusion:
Instead of buying this thing, save up your money and go buy a 2003 shocker. Thos things are light(1 pound!), fast(25BPS and it actually cycles that too!), low pressure(about 200 psi!), quiet as a cocker (without the back block slamming!), and above all the MOST accurate gun ever made!
I am not disagreeing with your review of the marker, i have never used one first off. I just wanted to mention, if a cocker is properly timed, there should be no slamming of the back block. In fact it shouldnt even touch the frame of the gun. There should be a small space. Yeah in case you cant tell im a cocker guy. haha anyways, peace.
you should be able to fit a peice of paper between the frame and back block. if everything is timed correctly, and the bolt is not flush with the feed tube then forget the paper things and adjust it until the bolt is flush
and yes i agree a properly tuned cocker is about as quiet as i have ever heard. it is a very odd sound though. nothing quite like it. like impulses, if somebody is shooting an impulse on the feild, i can tell just from the sound, nomatter what barrel. (particular tone, and yes im an impy guy) but ive never heard anything like a cocker.
He might be talking about the first version WMP made and in that case he is right, they sucked. Being the first version you can expect it but the current version has been upgraded so much it's far from being the same marker. This company does not sit on thier butts milking an old design for all it's worth. They are consistantly thinking faster and leaner. I can't wait for whatever they have planned in the future. There is supposed to be a drop in upgrade to 30+ bps.

o yea if the old pic up at the top was the old one and the new pic is the new one, it dont look quite as bad. in my oppion it went from
AHHHH!!!!! RUN!!!!!!!!!!!! GOD JUST BY LOOKING AT IT IM NOW 16 TIME UGLIER MYSELF
to
ok thats just ugly, u dont even kid around about that thing
just wanted to let the author of this review know, that if you read the later posts..."the kinks were worked out when the gun was re-introduced at the world cup". Personally I am buying this gun as soon as I get the money to, I love the look and even more the perfomance and LP goodies and specs that come w/ it stock. I hate the guns that are currently on the market; over priced, paintwasting, chinese made, toy looking things. This is ideal and it's rebellious in terms of style. You all can look forward to my review being up here some time soon. This comment was written in the summer of 05 for the record
As some people praise....I don't see how this review can be this negative about this gun. I played on Team WarMachine Factory before we moved on to bigger things and I have to say that if you think 23 bps is slow...you're an idiot. I've never seen a DM shoot over 20bps...19bps on an XSF gun...yes, but nothing over 20. Now I have seen a G7 dry
fire at 30bps...complete waste of resource though.
About the reviewer's comments on the marker being slow. I doubt he even hit the BPS adjustment button 9 times to bring it up to 23bps. It defaults at 8bps so ignorance comes into play and therefore his lack of knowledge is the reason this marker is "slow".
Anyway, point in case, I've owned 6 Assaults, all personally built by myself at WarMachine and they've never let me down.
And as I used to say...they're as ugly as the Evolution hopper when Viewloader first released it...now the eggy is widely accepted.
