New GOG eNMEy Paintball Marker? (Pictures)

Just posted on the GOG Facebook Page:

"Now, the creative minds behind the Shocker and Ion are changing the face of paintball again with the eNMEy™. With a purely pneumatic design, the eNMEy™ is a regulated spool valve marker in the same price range as entry level blowback paintguns. There's no hammer, mainspring or sear in the eNMEy™. You've got to shoot it to believe it," says GOG's Adam Gardner, referring to the smooth performance made possible by the marker's spool valve design. "That's why we're inviting paintball techs from around the world to take the eNMEy™ tech class free of charge at this year's World Cup – and to leave with an eNMEy™ of their own.""

The GOG eNMEy is set to be released in October of this year, and appears to be a mechanical version of the Smart Parts Vibe/GOG eNVy due to the apparent single trigger. 

New MacDev Clone GT Paintball Marker Pictures and Information

I don't usually write short articles like this, but I am very excited for the new MacDev Clone GT to be released. When I saw this picture posted by MacDev I couldn't help but repost it.


From the MacDev Facebook Page:


"Just like to let peple know we have been hard at work in the secret underground lair on new products, we happy to announce there will be a new Clone coming out in march called the Clone GT.........Check out top pro teams Rusian legion, Explicit Syndicate, and Uprising who will be rocking this gun in your favourite format."

As predicted, the GT is macroless. Many players had come to this conclusion because "GT" could stand for "Gas Through". The milling appears to be very unique, and it looks to have the same matchstik barrel, OLED board, and trigger as the previous Clone and Clone VX. The front grip looks a little different ergonomically, although it is most likely still very comfortable, otherwise they would not change from the regular MacDev regulator style to 
whatever that is on a high end marker such as a Clone.

More Information:


- Improved bolt system
- Slightly more efficient
- Venturi face bolt
- Significantly gentler on brittle paint
- Convenient pin lock
- Complete redesigned outer appearance
- Gas-through grip
- Improved ergonomics on grip frame
- New rubber grips
- New trigger guard
- Same electronics and trigger
- Team editions for russian legion, explicit and syndicate

The MacDev Clone GT will have a retail value of $1,399 USD and a release date somewhere in March 2012.

It has potential to be an awesome marker, but we will all have to wait and see!

MacDev Announces Production of New Clone!

Some players are assuming that "GT" is an acronym for "Gas Thru" in hopes of a macro-less Clone. What do you hope the new Clone will include?

How to Disassemble, Maintain and Lube the Invert Mini Paintball Marker

Complete dissemblance is not required after every day of play. Usually, giving your marker a wipe down, and cleaning and lubing the bolt and bolt guide is sufficient. Make sure that any surface that will touch paint is free of oil or grime to ensure the best possible accuracy.
