F8?!?

[Legionaire10]

does anyone know if they are available to the public yet, im not versed in dp so i dont know but im lookin to buy one

[DerMaverick]

They come out in late october. There is a thread somewhere about them. also check out pbn for details. it runs around (maybe) 500$. Looks sick

[wrath_ltd]

it looks kinda cute i guess...it looks like an ego and a matrix bumped ugglies...lol

[Legionaire10]

thx
that looks like my next gun cuz its like perfect, there is an article in the new splat on it

[babustos]

Yeup. It comes out sometime in October, and is expected to be $100-125 more than the original Fusion was, bringing the price to around $450+. It doesn't look to be a huge jump in performance, just something different. Lighter, smaller, drop the LPR, new milling, other than that I'm guessing it will perform similarly to the original Fusion.

[DerMaverick]

^But the main question still remains then, does anyone think it's worth the extra 100-150$ plus?

[sh((O))cka]

they will be out the 17th of this month, local field owner told me he was getting a shipment in then

[Legionaire10]

sweet
too soon
waiting for a few more paychecks
should i use high pres output or low or will low work?

[DerMaverick]

HP more than likely. They just dropped the LPR (similar to the Rail). I'm surprised that they'd release this early when all the hype is supposed to be in october....Like Legionnaire, I'm too short in cash for sept....but in a way, it's ok, because i'll be able to hear the reviews!!!!!

[Legionaire10]

same
wait out the problem batch as well

[DerMaverick]

it's the way to go ;)

[Legionaire10]

and to babs anything is a jump in performance for me, im not too happy with icd

[babustos]

Was ICD mentioned? :confused: The point is, in my opinion, its the looks that are causing people to assume that its a much better gun, when its more of a different gun of the same caliber, rather than a huge jump in performance.

Skip the F8 and get a Threshold

You're completly right. However it also has some extras already on it like RAPS, locking feedneck, etc.
And again i'm still not sure if it's worth the extra 150 bucks......I might just sring for a regular fusion if the reviews just state it as being average.

[DerMaverick]

I thought they only made like 500(?) thresholds, and therefore they weren't available now...I'm not sure though. They are very nice aswell.

[babustos]

Only 500 milled Thresholds were made, but less milled ones are supposed to come out. And also, with the price that you can get used Fusions at, the $150 price increase is definitely a huge stretch.

[Legionaire10]

i just cant stand the look of the threshy it just is to much of a marq and i cant stand marq's(dont flame me)

like dude below you said that they only made 500 milled ones...and unfortunately they are all spoken for...i wanted one...lol...


*edit* this thread has some specs on it if you haven't already seen them...http://www.pbjunkie.com/forums/dangerous-power-163/08-dangerous-power-fusion-22896.html

f8s and thresholds are already out, its just that dealers arent selling them yet. the supplier for the field i ref at has them in stock (APS), so i could buy one for myself. :P

AWWWWWWWWWWW man your soooo lucky!!!!

AWWWWWWWWWWW man your soooo lucky!!!!

yeah, and i would be getting it for whole sale prices too! :P

[DerMaverick]

^^ you've got to be kidding me!!!

[babustos]

Thresholds are already out, and I heard that the F8 was coming out in October or somewhere near then.

[DerMaverick]

Hey, i was just reading in the PE section (guage thread) and uziel and other got talking about markers with no LPR, that might be rough on paint...do you think that because the F8 has no LPR than it could become a chopper? IDK, I don't have really that much experience with LPR set-ups

[HungryHippo7735]

not neccessarily. legends, ions, and shockers dont have lprs, and they arent known for having problems with chopping. i wouldnt worry about it if i was u.

[DerMaverick]

ok, i won't then. lol

[babustos]

Yeah a lot of good guns out there don't have LPR's, but I think more people prefer them. The prescence of an LPR really doesn't make a gun any better or worse, it just allows for more tinkering and fine tuning.

[redz22]

is it out yet?

[HungryHippo7735]

its been out for a while.

this is the supplier for where i work. they only sell to dealers so u wont be able to order from them.

[GrimAssasin]

due, green is the secks

[apbrendanw]

that 08 fusion has killed my hopes of ever owning a fusion. It just isnt the fusion i know and love.

[DerMaverick]

why? what's sooo drastically different?

[babustos]

As of now, definitely one of the last choices for $400-ish, now that the Quest is $400.

[GrimAssasin]

quests are now 400? ooh, im hopping on that train then!

[redz22]

actionv. links work now! wen can i buy a f8?

[babustos]

Find a local DP dealer.

[apbrendanw]

whats drastically different:
Its just plain ugly. It looks like a ghetto dye crossed with an then throwing a bit of intimidator. And i would much rather have an lpr

:tup: Except I think it looks really nice.

[Theguynextdoor]

fyi the f8 and threshold are GREAT markers, my old field owner works with them now. and let me say these guns are even better then people give them credit for

What are you talking about?! The F8 is a beautiful marker. Other new guns don't have LPR's either.

[lilcrash1293]

i took a threshold over an F8 and it shoots amazing, great efficency with the assassin mod, and with barely any o rings to work on, its very easy to work on if something ever does go wrong

[GrimAssasin]

i woulda gone threshy, but the insane milling would suck having to clean out. plus i dont have another 100 bucks.

oh, and if you want to buy one, type dangerous power f8 into google search, and like 3 down is some military gear site that sells em.
