Goofy fun Nova stuff, closed bolt spool semi/pump hybrid with on the fly changing and autotrigger

I ordered a green one, $400 is a pretty good deal pending technical drama. It’s two loaners in one so I’d be losing money if I didn’t get one right?

[TencenT]

You should get two, think of the savings!

[Ecapnation]

So it's like pneumatic or something?

People bitch that the ghost didn't have much of a description this just has a buy it now button.

[Jsc5150]

Supposed to be a cheaper and better version of their N5 destroyer I guess, based on the N4.1

It has a safety like push button to switch between semi and pump, and the switch can be removed to lock it into pump

[TencenT]

It seems all the brands pretty much only explain stuff on facebook and instagram now. They have a video shooting it showing that you can pump it and then it seemed you can press a button near the front to switch over to semi.

That sux b/c it leaves those of us not on BookFace out in the cold

Your logic is infallible!

Did you not just post that you couldn’t understand why the Meteor Ghost was made…and then you by this thing?? Help me understand.

[Jsc5150]

I don’t understand what you’re confused about, or why you care

[1snowridr]

I'll take anything Meteor makes over Nova any day.

Would have been nice if they made the N5 work before they made a new marker.

Logic doesn't apply to paintball.

[Jsc5150]

It’s no fun if everything works as intended without tinkering lol

[Ecapnation]

Can't function that way anymore.

I'm a career engineer.... If i need to solve someone elses shortcomings I best be getting paid for my R&D time.

Paintball For me has boiled down to going to the field with fully working kit and run paint. Not sit at my tail gate tinkering

Ecapnation

Lol You must have a field closer than 4 hours, I’m not so lucky

I’m a career engineer as well and need the tinkering to get my fix

Different strokes

And why the hell can't thye put this information on their website? I don't want to hope an algorithm is going to show me this informaiton.

[TencenT]

I agree, it's frustrating to have to check half a dozen sources to get information.

[martix_agent]

Remember when companies put all this information on PBN? a searchable and curated forum?

Always Be Making New Markers (ABMNM) is the nova way it seems. Cant wait for the nova nx2+1 autococker that pumps, eblades, mechs, slices and dices all in one.

[Jsc5150]

They pretty much have all they need for a hoseless lprless cocker, I’m hoping for more nonsense

I'll hold out until it can make julienne fries...or at least radish roses!

[Jsc5150]

Woke up to this in my messages

Minus a rollout it seems to function pretty good

Couldn’t get a hopper through without any breaks. Tried a couple different paints, different inserts, different barrels, different hoppers, all combos broke paint.

Cycled it with balls and no barrel and confirmed it’s clipping the paint. Looking down the breech, the rollback
is pretty severe. I miss my adjustable ram cap on my old timmy.

When it doesn’t break a ball, it shoots phenomenally. Dual detents make me want to put a rotor on and rip.

What I hoped was a quick strip pin is just a slow strip pin, it seems I need to take the frame off to access the bolt kit still.

Maybe I can make a bumper for the back of the bolt to eliminate rollback. If not, it’s down to modifying or replacing the bolt.

Came with a bull barrel that takes nova inserts, a nice fat barrel sock, and orings. No manual of course

[RPP]

Thats pretty bad. I wonder if its a singular issue or if they whole run of them is like that.

[Impactfour]

I'm starting to think NOVA stands for not operational victim (buyer) assembled

[Jsc5150]

The classic is NOVA= NO VA = “no go” in spanish

[ChuckLove]

It's almost comical at this point how bad their own marker designs are. What prevents it from being funny is that people spend their own hard earned money on their products.
