In case you don't know already, Brass Eagle is shipping out a few new markers next week.
The Avenger

The Genesis

They are both center feed. It looks like the new Spyder Xtra might have some competition.
The beavertail/sight rail on the Genesis looks rather bulky and the grips are still plastic, unfortunately. Also, I've heard the Avenger is going to be sold under the ViewLoader name.

Those actually look like half descent guns. Maybe BE is listening to people and is actually going to make some quality markers now. Although those barrels look like they're about 5 inches long.

I am not going to judge a gun before I use it.

Actually brass Eagle has come along way to actually being better, They look cool but like Joel said I cant judge them until I use them.

The genesis looks a lot like an xtra or a rebel deluxe.

It's nice to see people using common sense for once and actually not coming to a bad conclusion about these markers. It seems that lately people are jumping on BE's case any chance they get. They do help the sport by producing beginner markers that are affordable and well marketed and i think its cool that they are coming out with new markers.

I want to buy a talon so I would have a back-up gun and so my friends and I could have a crappy pump gun game. Those are pretty fun, lol. :)

these guns are a different look for Brass Eagle. I think they actually look not that bad, considering they are made by BE. I wonder how they perform? and I was like "wow" when i seen the Vertical Feed. Cool

What are you guys taLking about!?! IT'S BRASS EAGLE!!!!! It has to SUCK. The genesis looks like it has a hardline (which blows) and those barrells are smaller than my dog's... well you get the point. And remember these two and the rainmaker are the only guns brass eagle makes out of metal so they're new to this really. In my opinion it will probally be a sting ray in a metal body and they'll sell em for way over price.

They will probably be overpriced, but you don't know if those are bad. It isn't a hardline, if you actually looked at it instead of instantly forming opinions because it is BE, you would see that it is just a steel braided hose. It looks like a hardline because it is the exact size it needs to be so it goes straight across and the expansion chamber is straight across from the bottomline adapter.

BE or not I'll wait and see what these guns do.Just cause they have sold junk guns before dont mean they can't change. I know most of you where still dust when honda made there frist car.they was one big hunk of crap.Muck might remender them little 2 cycl. cars maybe. But look at honada now.Alot of thing you guys are using evey day was crap when i was a kid. So dont knock something till you see it. God i had a bad day at work :)

lol, @ CREEK. I like your Sig! LOL
Well i wouldn't mind trying these new BE guns. yea BE has a bad rep but theses guns actually look half decent, and if anything, Im sure they will make good markers for the newbie who is just trying out paintball, and is not hard core!
Spyder Compacto

Pretty tight for Brass Eagle.

im sure they will be of good quality but people won't buy them just because they are BE. Competition w/ the xtra - i think not - If you have a Kingman and BE product side by side... most people would go for the xtra - just because this is BE's first half decent semi marker... so... no offense to BE, but they just haven't got the reputation to have a hit marker

"Looks can be decieving" don't forget the crap they have produced (paintballs, stingray. talon, and samurie) But maybe they might be good. I hope they are, it would really help newbies in the sport exspecially if they sell them at wal-mart. It's kind of hard to go to a field for the first time with a talon and go againt ppl with autocockers etc. My opinion of looking at the pictures is that they look upgradable but the stock barrel looks too short and the trigger seems weak. But i'll have to wait until i see the reviews.

How could brass eagle be new to this? It's not like brass eagle is one person who learns from experience! The designer could be a former employee of Worr Game products for all you know!

BE also makes raptors raptors kick assyou can do a lot with them trust me i know my lil bro has owned 3 and none of them broke heas just a collector but they are nice guns made of yes metal and there parts werent cheezy and un polished they were nice but other than the raptor i have to say all of there other guns BLOW

The raptor is the gun they rent at the field Near me.Thats all you can rent.Wal-mart in my town sells 5 of them guns a week.I know this cause my Friends son works in that Dept.Reason is they sell that many,(well not every week but sell alot of them any way back to what I was saying.)He pushes them over the other BE markers. I bet if they never show a pic or said it was BE and handed you the marker too use I bet you say alot diffrent stuff about these markers. But then I can see some are never open minded about things. Thats life. Myself I'll try the thing before i give a review on something I never even touched. Just cause a car says KIA on the door don't always mean its a piece of junk. Those car do sell,I'd never own one but people buy them.
