WGP has an ad in most of the current magazines for their new marker line-up. The Autococker SR, MG7, Synergy, & Jeff Orr Signature....

looks like an ugly ion.

WGP sucks anymore...

WGP is dead just crap comming out now

whats up with all these mid blocked guns? i liked the old style ones. seriously, there is something wrong with wgp if they canceled with karnivore and came out with this crap.

The SR is the "SE" That was reported in this spring's Face-Full Gear Guide.

I'll see if I can't find my copy and post the specs for every.

It uses a sled rather than a back-block which isn't exactly a bad thing, and I'm a 'cockerphile. It uses a front-block set-up that combines the cocking solenoid, lpr, and ram into one nice and neat little package. The body style is similar to the 3rd Gen Black Magics but incorporates a straight pump-arm which is covered by a plastic exterior shroud. It still works as a closed-bolt marker and uses the principles set forth by the earlier generations.

The Synergy is just an electro-blowback and I have no clue what-so-ever about the MG7, but I'm going to venture a guess that it's an unbalanced spool valve like the pmr.

As far as the reason for mid-blocking. WGP needs to regain their share of the tournament market to be seen as a credible speedball marker. mid-blocking increases the rate of fire and the efficiency by keeping the valve-chamber at full size allowing for a lower operating pressure while reducing both the mass of components that must be pushed back and the distance those components must be pushed. It was the next logical step in the engineering progression of a faster auto-cocker. Combine that with qev's on the ram and you can get an excellent cycling rate out of the marker. Loss of reciprocating mass also equals lower "kick" giving you a much better accuracy.

The big thing for this one is that the front-block is now a fully-milled air-passage block, no lp-lines anymore. The air-flow goes through the block itself. Everything is in one streamlined piece and the qevs come stock. The inline reg is on a swivel bearing so that you can set the air-line to enter from any direction. I'll probably be picking one up.
