last of the NEW toys

for those that havent heard, jt is closing down its california warehouse and moving everything to arkansas. thus leaving about 25 people out of a job, including my dad.
so this week, i received the last of my "test" guns from wgp.
first is the new WGP SR, all new design. still shoots exactly like a cocker. just doesnt look anything like its predecessors. board is flashed by tadao. so its pretty nice to work with.



next is another karni pump. this is 1 of 10 with the yellow/black splash. halfblock'd like the BM's were. came with the slider frame, where my other karni pump came with a S/F frame.



also came in with 2 pairs of the 08 pro pants and a matching 08 jersey.

We just sold the SR we got in Atlanta today. While the looks were funny, the feel of the gun was amazingly comfortable. And it was as fast as lightning. Jojo, the Karni pump is so mind boggling fine I can't find the words. Who did the ano work?

Sorry to hear about your Dad and ALL who lost out. It seems awful dumb and shortsighted to lose some of the most influential and pioneering people in paintball so they can be closer to Wal-Mart Town. While I'm sure Chuck and most of the others will land on their feet, in today's economy things can go sour very fast. They should lose that stupid looking new mask line and retain the good guys. My 2 cents...

karni pump was anno'd by wgp. custom work by my dad. he did 10 in this anno. he has been building "custom" pumps for the last few months. people order special colors, and he gets them done in limited #'s.
yeah, pop will be fine. (he is almost 66 now). im sure he will still end up in the paintball industry somewhere, probably at jungle island working on the weekends.

yeah, and the new masks are terrible. i like the new pants. i have both the 08 pro's and the 08 teams. both are incredibly nicer than the older jt team pants that have been around the last few years. jt might have actually did something right with these new knee pads. no more rips.
