Crossfire
51 ci
One of the drawbacks to compressed air
systems has long been their size. Crossfire's new steel 51ci tank
with integrated regulator is TINY. In fact the tank is 2.25 inches
shorter than a standard 47 cubic inch tank.

V Force Morph
and Shield
They're back in the game with a new
name. The V-Force Shield goggle and the new Morph (pictured) offer
a streamlined mask with open eye space to prevent fogging, and optical
clarity provided by a molded, curved lens. V Force goggles are being
distributed by Diablo Direct. The unveiling included week long competitions
to find the fastest lens changer. The top finalists were under 10
seconds, and the winner walked away with $1,000 cash.

Warrior Sports
Gear
Warrior has a different take on ball
blocking safety. Instead of a plug that won't always fit right, the
Barrel Condom is a reinforced cloth bag that is held in place by an adjustable
drawstring over the paintgun's feed port. Of course they also have
their full line of paintball shirts* too.

Warp Feed kits
from Pro Team
Airgun Designs developed the Warp Feed
to provide fast, reliable feeding, while keeping the hopper below the paintgun.
They left it to Pro Team Products to sell adapter kits so that the Warp
Feed will work on non-AGD paintguns - the first units were available for
sale at World Cup. The Warp Feed uses a piezoelectric sensor to activate
when the paintgun vibrates from firing.

OTP Breech Sizer
Barrels
The fit of the paintball in the barrel
is important for accuracy. Instead of changing barrels to fit the
ball, On Target Products uses a set of breech sizers so you can select
the perfect fit. |

Worr Paint
With the purchase of the Bruizer line
of paintguns, Worr Game Products not only has the legendary Autococker
line, but a beginner/intermediate paintgun as well. Now their product

Cobra Paintball
The Cobra Angel LCD paintguns are custom
modified by Cobra Paintball for top looks and performance.
New from Cobra is the Cobra ball detent
(third picture). The Cobra detent is threaded for both Angel and
Autococker use. What sets it aside from the stock detent is its two
piece nut which allows the ball brearing and reversible spring (for adjustable
pressure) for cleaning.
If you're sick of the sound of paintguns
firing indoors at a paintball shop or tournament vendor's tent this one's
a winner. Cobra's paintgun muffler allows a tech to test fire a paintgun
without all the noise. Presently available with Angel and Bushmaster
threads - Autococker coming soon.

Custom Products
They're more than barrels. CP's
new drop forward features a hot-rod flame cut-out for a wild new look.
CP is milling the bodies for the Dan
Bonebrake custom Autococker. The result is a lightweight cocker with
cool organic curves.
Adjustable fit barrel plug. Two
sets of o-ring grooves let you choose the diameter to which the o-rings
will be stretched.
Dressy buttons for the LCD Angel.
These nickel plated brass buttons replace the colored plastic buttons that
come stock on the LCD for a more durable, custom look.

Bunker Buddy
Strapping a couple of pods into a "football"
to carry onto the field is a common practice. The Bunker Buddy from
Unique Sporting is a dual or triple sleeve to strap two or three pods together.
Rules committee interpretation at World Cup allowed two pods to be strapped
together and tossed when empty, but declared that 3 or more would be "equipment"
which means you're eliminated if you get more than 5 feet away from it.

New Planet
Pods
OK, they work the same as the old ones,
but the chrome look coloring is new, and proved pretty popular amongst
the players. They fit the Jacko Packs (that's Jacko in the pic) and
other standard sized packs.

New Gear from
Mac Development
The air systems from down under have
a new twist - or flip as the case may be. The new adjuster knob for
the Max Attack regulator includes a flip out lever. Once the regulator
pressure has been set and locked with the wheel, flipping out the lever
turns off the regulator and degasses the downstream gas line while preserving
the pressure setting.
More than just air. Max Attack
is bringing to market custom Bushmasters with their own internals, and
their new, super compact pneumatics regulator for the Autococker under
the Sonic brand name.
Tiny gauges. These new gauges
have a slightly magnified cover, and place the gauge pivot point off center
to allow a more detailed scale in a smaller package. Check out the
quarter in the picture for a size comparison.

The classic is
back!
Sheridan, which has been getting back
into paintball has revived the venerable PGP, the paintgun on which many
of the "old timers" started playing. 10 shots in the parallel feed
tube, pump action, and a 12 gram CO2 cartridge make this paintgun stock
class legal.

Benchmark
beavertail
In order for an Autococker to be tournament
legal it needs to have a beavertail guard around the cocking rod.
Last year Benchmark integrated this stylish dual rod model into their grip
frames. This year's it's available bolt on accessory compatible with
most (including the stock) trigger frames.

Aluminum Apocalypse
For years, the Apocalypse HPA/N2 regulator
was the regulator to have, for reliability on 3,000 psi systems,
and for its ability to run at 4,500 psi as well, with its blocky steel
construction it was a heavyweight. Air America's next high end model
was the Armageddon two piece design with Aluminum construction. The
classic performance and styling of the Apocalypse is back, but now it is
available in a lighter aluminum body with lightening grooves. Installed
on a 68ci 4,500 psi tank it delivers a lot of power in a compact, light
weight package.

Angel Air
The long awaited Angel Air, companion
to the Angel LCD, made a strong appearance at the Cup. It's rubber
tank armor provides impact and scratch protection for the bottle, bottle
neck and regulator base, but may prove a bit of a problem in the US where
air fill providers must visually inspect the tank body exterior prior to
filling. The computer enhanced regulator is what really sets this
4,500 psi system aside as the most advanced HPA system ever. The
mechanical regulator is packaged with an electronic pressure sensor and
computer. Not only does the LCD display tank pressure, but it measures
the pressure drop with each shot fired and computes how many shots worth
of gas is remaining in the tank. The Angel Air is expected to ship
in quantity in early November 2000.

The latest
from Smart Parts
If you checked out our photo galleries
from the 2000 Zap International Open you've already seen Smart Parts' Freak
- the modular barrel system with inserts of various inner diameters.
Rase is the new soft goods line Smart
Parts launched this year, including packs, and jerseys. Pictured
third from the top is the Rase neoprene tank cover. The Rase packs
are open ended to accept pods of differing lengths, and use an elasticized
pocket so you won't loose the pod the moment you pull the flap. Optional
zip-on pockets allow for adjustable carrying capacities. Pictured
below is Ivan, one of the Smart Parts staffers behind the Rase designs.
