This new bottom activated cam drive on/off asa is probably the coolest part to hit the paintball market since the paintball itself. Sleek new design allows for a front out fitting with no side ports to get in the way of your hands in those tight spots.
Features
Easy Turn Knob Technology
Dove Tail Mounting. For use with any dove tail drop.
Front Port Fitting
Line Bleed - After turning the system off, the asa will bleed any air from the lines.

Review:
As you can see from above I've used different types of on/offs in the past. In my oppinion this is the best on/off I've tried out.
To be fair CP on/offs are awesome but I always had a problem with turning it off during play. It could be my hand size or the way i hold my gun. I know that the new CPs have a locking knob now.
What i love about this on/off is the funtionality of it. I love the fact that there is nothing protruding from the sides, no knob to accidentaly turn off and the fact that it bleeds air like it should.
The only drawback is the fact that you can't use a braided hose on it.
Also in my oppinion this ASA works best with bottom feed regulators so you dont have to bend the macro line.
I use a CP shorty regulator with a 90 fitting on it

Review:
This ASA is perfect! I love the look of it with the cleanly integrated front macroline fitting. It operates easily without too much strength. When you turn it off it also vents out any air left in the lines so you can unscrew your tank without the backpressure messing up your o-ring. The fact that it only fits on a dovetail means that you probably have to buy a dovetail drop or rail to use this on your gun. If you already have one then great.
I will try to update this review in the future after I've used it longer.
