Nova Sentinel Autococker

[Myrkul]

The Nova Sentinel Autococker is now available on Nova's site.

Price seems good and there are some really cool color options.

Please someone order one of these and do a full breakdown, I'm really curious about the Nova pneumatic components.

Ideally, whoever does this would also buy the "Psycho" annodized one, mostly to stop me from buying it....

[Toestr]

Now how long til they're sold separately?

[Riot]

Im very tempted to buy one to match the nova sniper I have... Lol

[Myrkul]

DO IT

[TwonTamal]

So at first I was like where the hell is the 3-way, then I scrolled down and read about their 5-way trigger valve. Definitely going to pick one of these up, the price is certainly right!

The lack of single trigger frames is a head scratcher, I know I'm beating a dead horse

[Myrkul]

I really don't mind a good double trigger on mech Semi-autos, and on some guns I actually prefer it.

Totally agree that for the pumps a single trigger is a must, but for these I think a double trigger is fine.

[Jordan]

Their new 3way only works with a "push" trigger, so no slider... and it seems to be hard to make a single trigger hinge.

[superman]

It really isn't hard to make a single trigger hinge. It would end up something similar to the dye frames i would guess.

[nicmauro]

Are there shooting videos of these anywhere?

[Myrkul]

There are several on Nova's Facebook page.

[nicmauro]

Myrkul Could you link to one? I searched their FB page and YouTube and can only find a few of the pump. I'm dumb but I can usually Google stuff 😂

Welllll my willpower failed me and I went ahead and picked one up in Space anno.

[Myrkul]

Great anno choice! The space anno looks really cool

[Magmoormaster]

$500 for a fully built cocker is a pretty ambitious price point. I'm curious if the new 3-way/5-way is a meaningful upgrade from the standard 3-way.

[Psycho91]

Love the color options, if only I wasn't building my trilly, might change my mind though


I wonder if they would do special ano for people, a teal with orange banzai splash would be sick

I also wonder if the ACP single hinge would work with their pnuematics

[SignOfZeta]

I don’t use Facebook. I guess Nova doesn’t want to sell guns to people like me.

Oh well, I have enough guns as it is. I’d just whine about the double trigger thing anyway.

[ChoSanJuan]

That's why their shopping cart is on their site/not on Marketplace and other forms of distributing videos and reviews, like on YouTube.

It’s amazing to me how Nova is able to price things. Like, a low production full slab side Sniper in ano that’s not basic black, with billet hinge frame is only $25 more than a stock phantom with a plastic m16 grip.

Honestly their business model seems totally reckless...they are making huge runs with what seems like barely any customer feedback or beta testing. If they end up with a stinker it's going to sit on the shelves. Good on them for the price point. None of it makes a ton of sense when you look at everyone else in the space.

[russc]

Thinking more along the lines of the other guns they are producing

[ChoSanJuan]

There's testing... They do builds, get them ready for field testing, sneak a few into the wild, get feedback, apply feedback, rinse and repeat for the feedback loop, etc... Sometimes there is an overlap with fixing bugs before production models go out, but they will still make good with getting your gun working.

I side with them for their amazing customer service and willingness to listen to their customer base. They've treated me (and With Intent) verrrry well through this year. (and that's not the sponsorship talking. It's me being honest.)

[Myrkul]

Their customer service is second to none. If you call Nova with anything technically you get to speak directly to either Chris or TJ. I don't know a single other paintball company that lets you do that.

Well…Phantoms are US made with US parts. Also the price has doubled since the takeover.

I bought a Sterling a few years ago for $460 after exchange and shipping and IMO it’s a better value than either. It has a single trigger frame, the barrel/frame/body all match, pumps like a dream and doesn’t have all stupid extra parts and adjustments that Snipers have.

If I ever buy a cocker again. I'm getting one of these. I really like some of the colors. .

[Vegabond]

I'll be honest, the solid colors at the price point of 500 is good but they seem dull/flat when you zoom in, just wish they would offer some other variation beyond 90's retro and offering up a raw body to be custom annoed would be a good option for them as well. Would love some of the designs that they have for the n3 like the commando or the heavenly to be available. Or the cammo's they have for the n1 etc. Oh and some 45 grips that are similar to some of their other offerings would be cool as well.

[Myrkul]

I am like 90% sure that if you call they can get you a raw & unannodized version. I'm totally with you that these need Heavenly Anno though. If enough of us keep asking for it it will happen....it didn't take them that long to get the guardian regulators in gloss black after the initial run. Be patient and I'm sure it'll be available soon.

[zinger565]

Keep in mind that outside of the Heavenly, most of the N-line didn't have fancy annos at all upon release. Those came later.
