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

[Impactfour]

I really hope the foregrips detachable, and the idealist in me really would like a cheaper model that's simply pump only, or even stock class because I don't like hoppers. Otherwise I'm pretty interested, if only to support a company that makes a marker for the pump market.

What happens if you pump it while in semi?

[Nish]

Premature.... Firing

[mrjigsnyc]

when it semi mode, the pump gets locked in place so it won't move.

[k_obeastly]

the barrel starts to reciprocate and you get a motion much like that depicted in your avatar.

[Trbo323]

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!)

Hold up, so it can flip between pump and semi on the field??? Way cool

This thing dead or still progressing?

[zinger565]

Oh, I'm sure it's progressing. I know the Nova guys have been slammed with N4 orders (released just a few weeks ago) as well as fulfilling their Black Friday orders.

Patience! Lol. The Nova guys tease stuff months ahead of time.

Nova released a video yesterday. I am not smart enough to figure out how to download a video from FB, so this is a recording of my computer screen from my phone.

Man that's one short pump stroke. This could be a fun marker, I'm curious what the efficiency will be like.

[redsquirrel]

Looks real fun. I’ll probably end up selling my N1 to get one of these. Or just have both ha. Hope they offer a heavenly anno for it.

[redsquirrel]

Sounds like they’re dropping real soon. No price yet but TJ said likely 500-600. Also not sure on annos.

Why are paintballers so enthralled with semi-auto pump conversions and also why do I want one

[Grendel]

I'm with you. I have been enjoying most of what Nova has been doing but I do not get this one. If you want to make a pump make a pump but this is a hybrid and like most hybrid I doubt it will do either a pump or a semi justice. I have an N3 and very interested in an N2 but this I will have to skip I think.

[Cdn_Cuda]

Niche market. Nova can’t directly complete with the big boys like PE, so they are actively offering things that are unique and different. I’m all for it.

[The Inflicted]

They've got one at Hells Survivors right now that they're showing off.

[redsquirrel]

Excited for these! In the video @0:25 it looks like after switching to pump it still fired and rocked the pump forward. Wonder what’s up with that behavior.

[Myrkul]

redsquirrel Probably just needs the pump handle return spring beefed up a bit. I've had snipers that do that when the return spring is too weak.

[FlightMedic938]

I’ve never owned a pump but I think I’ll be getting one of these for sure

[redsquirrel]

Latest update on the pump availability.

[Five Oh]

I bit the bullet and bought one this weekend at Michigan Monster Game. Took a couple trips back to the Nova booth to get it figured out, but once I got it running it's pretty great so far. The pump stroke is tiny and smooth. The trigger feels great, being able to swap over to semi for a final battle or when I got into heavy shit was pretty neat. She's a bit heavy but I'm ok with that trade off for being able to hot swap it to semi.

[Chuck E Ducky]

They shoot nice reminds me of a pneumatic assist pump and an old DM put together think “Mouse click pump”. Not sure what kind of numbers it was seeing but he was even running it with 12g to play Stock Class with it.

I don’t think I need one since a I already have a detacated pneumatic assist pump. But it’s definitely cool the way it switches from pump to semi.

[redsquirrel]

Finally up on the site but showing all sold out. Not that I’d be able to pick one up right now anyway 😭. Glad to see they’ve done some different annos.
