Ladies and gentlemen,
I present for your viewing pleasure AKA Viking number 42. It is half milled, has the new style high rise, milled barrel, a Blade trigger and the new circuit board with two color LED in the back. The new circuit boards are still in production. I got a pre-production one to test for them. The circuit board has been updated to give longer battery life. The Warp Feed and Intelli-feed ports are now in the center of the board so the wiring can exit through the grip. The LED functions as a power on indicator as well a battery level indicator. When you first turn the gun on the LED is green. After a few moments it goes to green flashing if the battery is full. It will go to red flashing when the battery reaches a lower point and full red when it needs to be changed. The LED is recessed and isn't annoying when firing the gun. There are some other features on the board that will be available later. The bolt is Delrin and has no orings.
I chose a medium length Sidewinder which is running at 200 psi and shooting 317 fps. The Dark Red color is not a stock color. I had it custom ano'd to go with my AKA VLM. The drop is a Warped Sportz, the tank is a 68 ci 4500 PSI Pure Energy. The grip panels are from Hogue.
I ran 500 balls through it with an X-Board Revolution with zero chops or breaks. The LPR is set at 80 psi and I'll lower it after it breaks in.
I don't know efficiency yet but I will test it over the next few days. So far I'm very impressed with this gun! At $775 for a raw, milled body it's well worth the money!!

Since taking the pictures I've changed the grip panels over to Dye stickies.

Why?? The 2 side tubes are basically all air volume. It doesn't need any more.

Nope, It's from Warped Sportz. I like the way it kicks the tank out about 10 degrees and doesn't restrict how far it will rotate. The DZ's limit you to 60 degree increments.

Well rifling would be like a real fire arm barrel with spiral lands and groves to spin the bullet. Not very effective in paintball though.

I had this one custom ano'd. I'm not 100% sure what AKA is going to offer as stock colors.
