Redz Ion Body Kit

smart parts body kit
The Smart Parts Ion body kits all tend to look the same to me, but the Redz kit actually looks pretty cool. Info from Redz:

REDZ ANNOUNCES A NEW ION® BODY CONVERSION KIT

Medford, NJ – Redz International announces the creation of a brand new three-piece body kit for the Smart Parts Ion®. This new body kit is not just a one-piece body, but a total aesthetic conversion for the Ion®, with a new body, a front regulator shroud, and a new, highly styled, 45-degree grip.

The body kit was made using specifications supplied by Smart Parts for reliability and the truest fit possible to the Ion’s internals and frame. Made of durable composite materials, Redz ensured that the well-known light weight of the Smart Parts Ion® would remain intact. The regulator shroud was designed to not just change the looks, but enhance comfort when holding the marker for longer periods of time. Finally, Redz designed a new 45 degree grip that is a work of art in and of itself, sporting Redz’ “Rip-Stripe” reference design for 2007. All three parts completely change the look of the Ion.

The Ion® Body Conversion Kit is one of two comprehensive groups of upgrades that Redz International has created for Ion® markers. Other upgrades include the already-well-known Triggerz, ASAs with Railz, Cam-Lock feed necks, Pepper Stickz Barrels, and the Redz Ion® Boltz.

Carmen “The Angry” Borgia added, “The guys down in Development bought an Ion soon after it came out, for testing. We started making our Hard Partz for it, and after we put our aftermarket parts in there and put a Pepper Stick on it, it didn’t even feel like it was an Ion® anymore. Now, with the body kit, it barely resembles the Ion’s® original form too. The Ion® is a fine marker that has already hit the stratosphere in terms of its performance-per-dollar. Now Redz is propelling the Ion® even further, straight out of the sky and into space.”

The Ion Body Conversion Kit will be available very soon, in four colors: red, black, blue, and olive.

Empire E-Vent paintball goggles

empire paintball mask
The Vents Goggle System is a new, low profile goggle system designed to present the minimum target possible while being soft and flexible for comfort and to help keep you in the game by glancing/bouncing paintballs. The soft faceplate of the "top model" is re-enforced by a flexible yet strong mouth guard which allows the front of the mask to flex on impact, but stops full paintballs from passing through or lifting it up, and thus protects your lips and mouth. The "mid model" has a more rigid one-piece faceplate, which still maintains a flexible area in front of your mouth for protection.

Features include:

* Removable soft ear pieces
* Low profile faceplate
* Advanced optically correct lens
* Lens quick release system
* Ability to add a visor or brow shield without the use of tools
* High Quality strap with silicon beading to help keep the mask firmly on your head
* Includes 1 Smoke Thermal and 1 Clear Thermal Lens

Dye 07 Rhino Tank Cover

The new Dye Rhino covers for 2007 look a little busy, but I'm sure it's with good purpose. All of those fins should be pretty good for wiping your hands clean of paint.

2007 Macdev Cyborg



As expected, MacDev designers have been working on a 2007 model of the Cyborg marker. The 07 Cyborg is tentatively set for release in December 2006, or early January 2007.

Designers have released a list of extra features that they intend to work into the 07 Cyborg:

A reduction in overall marker height
Increased milling/lighter body
Increased speed
07 spec electronic hardware and software
07 Gladiator
New solenoid
07 spec detents
07 spec LPR
07 RED valve
Clearly, designers expect the 07 Cyborg to be lighter, smaller and faster than previous models. It will also have some improved functionality and reliability with new regulators, solenoid and electronics.

The 07 Cyborg will include more features and workmanship than previous model Cyborgs, it will also be packaged with more accessories. For this reason, it is expected that the cost of the 07 Cyborg will be higher than previous Cyborg models.

A definite release date for the 07 Cyborg will be determined as design/production permits.

New Kingman VS

kingman vs
OFFICIAL INFO FROM KINGMAN:

We at Kingman Group, known throughout the world for introducing the best selling Spyder paintball markers, are focusing all of our research and development toward the next level 3rd generation Spyder, set to launch October 2, 2006. The NEW VS Series product line will move the Spyder brand toward the future, providing fast, reliable, performance driven paintball markers. We first showed the VS Series markers at the Millennium Cup in Paris, and then at the NPPL paintball events in Boston, and San Diego. The players fortunate enough to witness the VS markers have spoken with anticipation and praise. The overall consensus is a feature packed Spyder that feels amazing in the hands and is easy on the eyes. We feel the value will be overwhelming once we release the VS Series, the future of Spyder paintball markers.

What is the VS Series

For more than two years we have looked for ways to create a paintball marker that captures all the elements of this sport’s futures including looks, rate of fire, efficiency, and feel. We have achieved these goals and will bring to market the NEW VS Series markers, built with 3G technology including a patent pending low pressure, high performance Balance Valve. The Spyder VS2 with Infiniti Trigger and Spyder VS3 with Rocking Trigger will utilize this 3G technology Balance Valve, making the marker operational at 200psi while maintaining incredible speed and ultimate comfort.

Looking for ways to evolve the Spyder product line, the VS Series paintball markers will include features like Break Beam Eyes, Electronic functions with a dual touch switch, a mini C/A regulator with on/off dial, a vertical adapter with low pressure gauge, a 12” two piece micro ported barrel, a low rise adjustable feed neck, and a Delrin bolt with lock cocking knob. The Spyder VS2 will come standard with the VS Infiniti Trigger providing a fluid feel to the marker with a 25 shot per second firing rate. The VS3 will come standard with a VS Rocking Trigger allowing up to 30 shots per second with two contact points for a maximum rate of fire. Both markers will maintain a sleek all Aluminum body style allowing the user to feel connected to the speed, and accuracy of the VS Series.

Knowing that all paintball players are unique, we have created custom dust finish color Body Kits to individualize your VS marker. The custom five piece Body Kits will come available in Red, Yellow, Green, and Blue and will include eye covers, feed neck, low pressure chamber, rubber fore grip, and a striker plug. Also available is the Spyder 14” two piece Aero twist barrel with optional color tips to enhance the look, and accuracy of the VS marker.

The fluid all Aluminum VS Series receiver design protects the internal 3G technology patent pending Balance Valve that allows the marker to operate at 200psi. While keeping state of the art design in mind, we have developed this custom valve that can attribute to the speed, and “never before experienced” feeling you get while shooting the VS Series markers. The 3G technology also incorporates a lightweight striker, softer springs, and an increase in chamber capacity enhancing the low pressure functionality of the VS marker.We showed the VS markers to the public at the last three pro level paintball events. “There were lines of people wanting to be the first to hold the markers. The response was well received, as we have put our time and dedication into making this marker the future of paintball”, says Event Manager Jason Donaldson.
kingman vs
“This is an exciting time for Spyder,” says Arthur Chang, CEO of Kingman Group. “We have put forth great efforts to give the paintball player a reliable product with the VS Series marker, which will include never before seen speed, comfort, and efficiency.” He continues, “We have always worked hard to maintain our leadership in the paintball industry and the value of Spyder markers will continue to grow as we provide products that are dedicated to the latest technology and future of this sport. We couldn’t be more excited about the upcoming release of our 3rd generation Spyder and the direction in which we are headed.”
