Ok talk about turning heads.

I have not seen this before, seems like it would hilarious to bring this out on the field. Would get people doing double take and most be like what the hell is that. Does it actually work and other questions.

Anyone have any experience with these. Joke, worse thing ever, funny but actually decent?

Salvador Dali wants his gun back.

I feel like the barrel needs to also curve. What is this thing?

[Ecapnation]

Ah yes the dynasty Walmart blowback..... Aka the dog shitting gun

[FredMnkyDad10]

Hahahahaha that is a perfect description.

[flyweightnate]

I think Kevin qmto put this phrase in a YouTube review for it

[autococker04]

Welp. Can’t unsee that.

[Siress]

I'd love to know if this was a successful endeavor. I always imagined the walmart guns are purchased by people looking to mess around in their yard, and probably never heard of a "paintball tournament".

This is your marker on shrooms

I've had a little experience working on these. Not this particular model exactly, but one internally identical, the Stryker Cybrid. It's a clamshell design stacked tube blowback, with an assortment of decretive panels on the outside to give it the desired shape and profile.

Now some of you more technical people just winced a bit and thought "A clamshell body causes a whole host of issues with a stacked tube blowback design" and you would be right. It has a sealed valve chamber insert and another insert that part of the bolt rides in to aid in sealing of the air. This makes it, well, functional, but the two body halves not quite perfectly lining up ends up allowing a lot of air to shoot up the feed tube when you fire. Especially if you have a paint to bore fit other than extremely, excessively, loose. Actually tends to blow the hopper lid open. We tried to fix one that the tolerances were so bad that when you fired a ball out the barrel it also fired one straight up the feed neck with enough force to break on the top of the hopper. About the only thing that fixed it was a good force feed hopper, and it's a hard sell when you tell someone with a sub-$100 gun that it needs a hopper worth considerably more than it to function.

These are what I refer to as vandalism grade guns... They were never designed with playing in mind

[Fubarius]

Hey now, don't be knocking affordable gear. I personally would have NEVER played if the clunky yet very affordable Stingray was never made.

But in this case it's quite obvious the Stryker Cybrid and by extension the Dynasty were NOT designed by someone who actually plays the game or works on the gear in a significant way.

In fact we know exactly who designed the Cybrid, a company called Formation Design Group...
https://www.formationdesign.com/stryker-paintball
Their design directives were, and I quote directly "Design a visually aggressive, mass market, entry level paintball marker...". No mention of durability, reliability, or performance at all. A gun fully created by boardroom meeting, focus groups, and outside consulting firms.

[devilzcall]

Looking at the drawings on formationdesigns page, I'd say they actually did a pretty good job. The gun in the drawing looks strikingly different from other entry level blowbacks and IMO actually kinda fun.
Not really the designers fault that the resulting product is literally non-functional after strykers engineers (or likely their budget department) were through with it.

It would be sweet with a flat line

[Alexndl]

I had the same idea when I first saw it
Would make an even stranger thing
