Latches - are you looking to let it go?

[fierymartel]

🤔 Dunno, but looks sharp!

I know they at least had some similarities to Hybrid. They were made overseas as well.

[latches109]

Do you have a source?

[iamthelazerviking]

I'm going off of memory, which may be wrong. I also recall there being a connection to System X...

[latches109]

The only connection to hybrid and system x I found was comments that said ~it looked like their designs.

[fullofpaint]

Weren't they associated with FBM somehow?

Thank you to Zack for sharing this thread with me. I LOVE Krusher Cockers. I have done my best to restore mine to as close to original as possible with some tasteful changes.

SO... Here is what I have been able to dig up from my years of trying to get my hands on all the original 4 color schemes. I purchased my black/blue one from a gentleman that knew the shop that did the original milling for the Krushers. So most of what I know is from him. So... if anyone else knows any more direct bits of info, please feel free to add to the conversation. This is by no means gospel.

• They were made around 2003-2004.
• The bodies were milled here in the US.
• They all ran System X pneumatics, barrels, bolts, regs, internals, and ASAs
• WGP grip frames
• Smart Parts threaded feednecks

They only came in 4 main color options.

• gloss black
• black / blue fade
• black / pewter fade
• pewter

They didn’t make many so they are somewhat rare. They are not very popular, but when they pop up, they sell quickly.

I was told that the shop that did the original milling never got paid for the work, so they kept the bodies and had to figure out what to do with them.


This is mostly hearsay but is as much as I was able to find out.

“The body milling and logo were designed by the same group that did the Hybrids. Hence the similar logos.”

I asked the owner of hybrid (now contract killer clothing), he said they were not involved with krusher. Design was not hybrids.

Thanks for sharing emg60vw. Great info and photos!

seeing your builds, I’m thinking that krusher on eBay recently was a great deal. They are look and feel to be very well made. Mine shoots excellent!

if anyone has that asa I could use it.

Yes. I know they aren’t made by or ever apart of Hybrid. I was told the logo design was created by the same designer. The two companies were never associated. And I’m not sure the time frame Hybrid was marking cockers, but I do believe Krusher was around before. Both companies used System X pneumatics, regs, and ASA.

either way, I’m happy to amend my notes moving forward.

funny you bring up the eBay Krusher… my black/pewter one is that same marker. I had been talking to the original owner for months. Even before it was posted up on eBay. Finally was able to strike a deal to complete my collection.

honestly, these are wall hangers at the moment. If I choose to play with them, I’ll swap the pneumatics out for ones easier to tune and maintain. These System X ones are hot or miss and super finicky.

Krusher, hybrid and system x were all machined by the same shop hence some bleed over looks. Iirc all over seas.

KRusher only offered the guns and was a bit late to the game. It felt like the manufacturer went "hey let's get in on this!" Or just got stuck with parts.

[bacci paintball]

I was under the impression that OTP / Brahim Estephan machined these.

[latches109]

Krushers were made by AIM in china.

I have the full story, the person who told me should be the one to share it. very interesting. bacci paintball might have a video to make.

[Brokeass_baller]

I was about to say that these looked very much like the old Aim bodies.

[maggot]

Interesting, I never knew that any of these were released complete with pneus. I only ever saw the body and frame for sale.
