    IIRC the big one was with pressure relief. Co2 pressure spike coupled with reg failure would case the back cap to shoot off towards the wielder. There may have even been lawsuits over it.

      I would say that is not a common problem. All of the back caps had 2 screws holding them on. If someone failed to install those screws and air it up that would happen. Which i believe was the case for the back cap flying off.

      The pressure relief oring/spring setup was an issue but mostly because they leaked instead of supplying more pressure.

          Picked up a "flat OD Green" or "Olive Drab" with the modern foregrip. Super excited to get it in hand and play around with it.

              When will the N3 be available? And what's the price going to be?

              I'm intrigued but honestly I don't understand the point.

              EDIT: I guess if I scrolled up I would have seen the date for the N3. Still curious about price though.

                Same reason people buy new cockers? It's something different, mech, tournament legal, and hopefully much more reliable than the old ones. I'm all for new entries into the market, the last thing I want to see is paintball becoming a 1 or 2 company sport.

                Mm, cockers had a pretty devout following even before the ressi came out. The ressurgence of cockers was just apping into a market that was already there. That's not the case with this. Most people, long time players included, won't have heard of the Nova. It's really obscure. If the idea is to make very small runs, make it kind of a boutique gun, I get that. But if they're trying to actually compete, I just don't see it happening.

                They have other stuff in the works as well, so it may be a limited run.

              Those prices look pretty reasonable !!

              I'm tempted by the gloss red one.....I would have to get the Retro front grip, and the gloss black shroud, and a couple additional insert sizes.

                Whoever just bought the camo, thanks. I had it in my cart and I got stuck on the phone and now it's gone. Saved me from myself.

                  Is there an option to get a pack of inserts or just individually?

                    I sent chris a message and asked this. I know a few guys are wanting the same thing as well.

                    I would definitely be interested in an insert "pack" over buying individually.

                  If anyone in the RI area picks one up I'd love to see how these shoot in person.

                    What barrel threads is the n3? N1 looked like proprietary twist lock?
