Thanks for looking! It's a small collection with nothing too exciting. I haven't played in 13 years (bicycles kinda took over my life for a while) and just started thinking about it again. Turns out I had more than I expected!

Psychoballistix SuperBolt pump I got as a part of a trade. ID'd here! Never used it and, from what it sounds like, the CP reg and ASA are worth more than the rest of the marker!

Smart Parts Ion. Well, the only remaining things that are SP are probably some of the screws and the front gauge. I got an Ion in a trade and decided to upgrade the hell out of it because that's generally what I do (for fun). I also happen to like building bicycles more than riding them as I found out! Anyway, here is the list of parts that I remember:
- 07 Powerlyte Body
- Either an NDZ or Lucky breech
- Critical lever-lock feedneck
- TechT L7 bolt
- Element v2 Frame (anno'd to match the body)
- Violent Scythe trigger
- Dye Hyper2
- Empire on/off
- Virtue board (though I had a Lucky board in there at one point IIRC)

Lasoya Timmy in decent shape. Another trade marker (in parts). I've had several Timmies that, ultimately, I regret getting rid of (including a nice 2k5'd ECX and a custom anno'd Species). I was going to rebuild this and sell it ages ago but now I may just rebuild it and keep it.

Hybrid Shocker SFT. I've got everything but a board (it was burned out) so I broke it down for anno but I have this one stubborn detent that's stripped. My ADHD got the better of me and I got distracted and here we are 13 years later. I'll get it done soon and probably get it done at Breaking Beard because he's a friend of a friend. I'm not a huge fane of the max-flo but it aesthetically matches the marker so I'll probably keep it.

I think I traded an 07 Borg for this + money? Anyway, I lost the charger in a move so I'll probably replace the board so it uses 9v anyway. I used it once and it was awesome. I've always loved Angels and, back in the day, my team was "sponsored" by them so we all shot A1s which, honestly, most of us didn't like. I also had a G7 Fly at some point but I sold it because it was just sitting around and I didn't have the disposable income I have now to keep a larger collection.

After I quit playing tournaments and went back to rec for a few years, I sold my 2k12 G6r (much to my regret nowadays because, jeez, they're expensive now) and picked up an Axe as my daily driver. Swapped in the Inception Fighter body and added the Redline board and foregrip, the Boss bolt (?), and a Violent Deuce trigger. Then got it anodized by Caustic Customs. Far more capable marker than I thought it would be.

Blitzkrieg Cyborg RX. I did some graphic design work for MacDev way back in the day for their Cyborg RX and Droid days and ultimately designed the graphics for their Blitzkrieg team markers (both Droid and Borg). They paid me by giving me one of these! Actually, before this was ready, they gave me a regular Cyborg RX and then I sold it and used the money to purchase this one at cost from them (it was basically free). I also have some kind of experimental brass-core bolt in there that, I assume, eventually became the gold bolt (this one doesn't have the soft face). I replaced the trigger with the Violent Scythe as well.
They even threw in a complete Shift barrel kit - which works really well EXCEPT that you need a delrin wrench to take the inserts out because they tend to get stuck in the barrel back. Unfortunately I lost the wrench but there's a trick to taking them apart if you keep the barrel in the marker.
Unlike the 07s that I had, the RX had a tendency to be finicky but I was lucky enough that this one was always rock solid. The board has gone kaput so I just ordered a replacement / upgraded one from MacDev and that should get it humming again.
For other MacDev work, I designed the Cyborg RX and Droid pages for their website, did some work on the manual, and also did the design for their Ice Fighters RX. I've got those Illustrator files on my computer still, amazingly. Didn't have a fallout with James or anything but, you know, time moves on and they're all in Australia anyway, so...
