Project D set for release at PSP World Cup 2007

MacDev have been secretly working on this for over 2 years, with work done under the name Project D. For all those team members and contributors that have helped to keep this quiet, thankyou very much, and for everyone else, we are now proud to release some advanced info.

Droid.
Project D is a new gun designed and manufactured by MacDev, we have named it Droid. This new gun is not a Cyborg, and it is not intended to replace the Cyborg. The Cyborg and Droid will both be available, and the Cyborg has a very bright future, with a new model set for release in the first quarter of 2008.
The Droid will be set in the high end bracket, with a retail price of over $US1,000, it will be an alternative option to players who want to have a high quality and high performance single tube paintball marker.

The details.
The Droid is designed to breathe new life into the single tube gun market. MacDev designers have made some very interesting innovations that are designed to increase the reliability and efficiency which is always lacking in conventional spool designs. These innovations have led to significant reliability and efficiency advantages, and patents will be granted for them soon.
The Droid features lightweight construction, extensive 3D surface milling and a small, comfortable playing profile.



More info and pics coming soon.

Well then... I guess I might have to get a spooler after all.

I talked to James B MacDev, president of the company and he said they designed this gun just to piss you off... They knew you had the new 'Borg.

It never fails... As soon as I get something new they bring out something even better. It is hell keeping up with the Jones...

From my understanding they are getting close to a case off of the 68/4500 tanks. It does not have the rof of the "Cyborg" but easily exceeds 25+ BPS which is still over the 15 BPS cap that most series have instituted. Being a spooler that is understandable. James and his staff at MacDev have also been talking up the extreme low pressure of this marker using paint that was so brittle it wouldn't even shoot through the Cyborg. I can't wait to see one of these on the field!

100 psi pressure

1800 to 1900 off of a 68/4500 verified by several people i know that were at the Cup trial shooting it.

Sounds like about the most perfect marker...spool valve so no kick, very gentle on paint, great efficiency.

The trigger was a little hard to get used to but I'm sure after markets will be coming out or maybe it wasn't optimized.
