More Nova sillyness being teased...this time a pump?!

[Cdn_Cuda]

Interesting. I’m a fan of no autotrigger. Big body allows for a nice large slate for anno/lazering. Don’t mind that it’s not just a tube either.

[Nish]

Basically a modernized the pump mag

[Jordan]

Is it going to be $500 like a Nova, or actually affordable?

[Nish]

When I talked to them about it a couple months ago they were talking the $600 ballpark

[Jordan]

So $800 CDN.

Anyone else getting tired of paying crazy money for stuff?

[redsquirrel]

Sounds and looks funky, I like it. Also hope the barrel still reciprocates.

[Chuck E Ducky]

It dose not.

[Grendel]

Summary - Based on the N3 (Hellion) valve train, will work either as a Semi or a Pump, Pump Stroke configurable and barrel is AC threaded and non-articulating.

I am interested, I really like my N3 but play more pump then Semi. This could go a long way toward my rebuilding my "Laptop Go Bag" so I always have something ready to go play at the drop of a hat and something I can take along when I travel for work.

[Chappy]

I heard they invented the pump and Nelson stole the idea.

[Ecapnation]

Dude.... The owner is a loon and just keeps asking do I work for planet eclipse when I question his ideas

[Impactfour]

Ecapnation not gonna lie that made me laugh

[Ecapnation]

@impactfour

I'm assuming you saw the back and forth on Facebook then?

I really don't understand why he couldn't answer my question.... I get being different gets you noticed but just because your design is different doesn't make it better.

Ford Edsel... New coke... The zune...

[RAZRBAKK]

I guess I just don't really get the point of converting from pump to semi on the fly. I could see an easy swap that you could do off the field, but mid game?

[KMDPB]

Yeah would be more appealing to me as strictly a pump

[Nish]

I also think that mid game is a silly idea, but like the idea that if it's so easy you could do it mid game that you could do it quick and easy between games. I'm getting lazy in my old age.

[Impactfour]

Fully agreed. I don't play with semis anymore, so that capability just seems like another potential point for failure. If there was a cheaper pump only version I'd be a lot more excited about this.

Super Nova now has one more reason to own a Nova

I have a Nove sitting in a Box, I consider it one of the top worst 3 markers I have ever purchased...

• • Current Nova or back in the day Nova?

I think its the N2, the barrel not only goes in and out, but up and down at the tip.. about an inch...Translates to about 4 feet or so off target at 50ft...

[Cyberpyr8]

Probably a N1 since they haven't officially released the N2 yet. There must be something wrong with yours then. My barrel does move around on the N3 but it's close to being as accurate as my Emeks. I'm not seeing that much of a variation in shots. But watching it on film makes you wonder how that could be. I (now) have a shroud on mine too so it doesn't really move up and down much and since it kicks back, I don't see much barrel rise between shots either. But since I aim using the barrel tip, I had to get a shroud to give me a consistent aim point. I really don't care to get the fixed barrel adapter. since the shroud does fine.

I will say I really love shooting the N3. But it's not my rock solid marker in terms of reliability. I have had to send it back a few times already. They fix it each time but it's a pain when it's so touchy and for some reason, I can't seem to fix the issue. I keep getting told it's really dirty inside when they get it, but I'm running this on a tank with a brand new reg. My field has pretty clean air and I have never had issues. It's not looked that bad to me when I sent it off. I am debating selling it for 2 reasons. One, it isn't reliable and I prefer stuff that just works or requires little to no maintenance on a regular basis. I clean my stuff and re-lube pretty much every other time, but I don't have time to keep tearing apart markers. And two, I shoot way too much paint with it when I can use it. It is stupid fast. I switched to mechs to use less paint and this thing is like an electro. I can rip paint at a very high rate of speed with this. It's fun, but defeating the point of having a mech for me. Fortunately/unfortunately it's broken half the time so I can't shoot that much. Maybe that's the plan to help you be more mech like.

[Trbo323]

the barrel not only goes in and out, but up and down at the tip.

Yup.... Just going to leave this here, not commenting or anything.... Nope, not me, not going to say a word...

I’m not buying anything from them till Jonny gets his marker back. It’s been long enough.

[Menso]

Is there a detent on this one?

[Ecapnation]

No they didn't invent that

[Menso]

Is a detent too much to ask for?

[Cyberpyr8]

The N3 has a detent like thing at the bottom. It helps with scooping up the paintball as the barrel moves back to get it. I don't have any rollouts on the N3. Never shot any other Nova's so I can't say, but the N3 variants do have one.

[mrjigsnyc]

Here's what I know

- Cocker Threaded
- Adjustable pump travel
- Semi switch ... get into a fire fight and need more BPS, lock it in and let er rip
- Auto-trigger available
- Spool valve assembly
- Hitman plate
- Terr-air trigger assembly (just like the N3, it's fast!)

[DropDeadFred]

That is one flimsy looking hitman plate. Kinda fugly too but I'll be buying one for sure.

[Chuck E Ducky]

Are they picking up the phone for new orders? Anyone try to call and get threw? Just curious.
