Out of Concept. Into an Alpha. Silently I've been working on moving this project out of being just a 3D-printed one off and into a production run marker. In order to see this come to fruition I figure I need to hit on a few key metrics. Mass Appeal - Making a marker that would appeal to as many players as possible is vital in order to ensure that the platform ever gets created in production form. The more people are interested in this marker, the more people there are that will eventually purchase the marker. Affordability - Prior to...

As of today the bullpup proof of concept is operational. Utilizing modified TIPX internals, T15v2 magazines and days worth of modeling and 3d printing a fully functional concept platform is real.

Due to this there are several more changes and enhancements planned in order to separate this marker platform from the donor marker from which it came. Head Space between magazine and Chamber - At...

With all of the exterior features fleshed out it's time to move internally and get this thing working as close to 100% reliability as feasibly possible.      1. Bent Trigger pins - At some point There always seems to be an issue with a bent trigger pin in the TIPX. My initial thoughts are that this may be related to how the trigger is situated within the shell of the TIPX so we'll be printing various trigger linkages as well as some shims to...

Years ago it dawned on me that there were not very many minimalist options for utilizing tank-in-stock marker setups for paintball. At the time the options were.... well they were very old school and not at all matching the aesthetic of modern magfed options. Typical 'old school' tank plate.   In short order I believed I captured a design that was just as functional and matched the aesthetic a lot of people are looking for. At $60 per part for a nylon plate, I knew not many people would be able to afford it, but the idea was out there...
