[spyderpilotacs05]

needs new trigger and grips.

is this the timmy that will sell for 500 or 1000 dollars?

[Ace24]

... Neither are selling for $1k.

[spyderpilotacs05]

How much for this one?

[HelpDeskHustler]

550. the other is 700

[Ace24]

This is the ION of the Intimidatior line... in more then one way aparently...

I wonder what the other one will look like.

You are shunned for comparing this to an ion.

apparently the other one has more extensive milling, and something extra specail that puts it above the protoge in performance

Wow, take a little break after posting a pic and we got all this.
First, this the Protege prototype, only 1 of 2 in existence and not the final product, the reason why you don't get to see the entire body.
Second, this is the next generation Intimidator and not be mistaken for with any other series of markers from Bob.
Third, while the introductory price is lower than any Intimidator before at $550, know that it handles, shoots quicker, achieves a higher rof and is more consistant than any Intimidator before it.
Fourth, an improved "Alias generation" valving has been incorporated for extreme reliability.
Fifth, no complicated balance valve to service.
Sixth, recoil is on par with the 4th generation models with a slightly less sound signature.
Seventh, the frame incorporates a patent pending unique feature of a volumizer, for lower pressure operation.
Eighth, efficiency will be around 2000 shoots with a 68/4500.
Ninth, capable of 30+ cycles per second, tested and verified through Ohler chrono at a rof of 28+bps. (using 4 eye capability)
Tenth, in hand and shooting, the die hard Intimidator fan will realize it's the pinnacle of all the Intimidators, at least until the Vice is released.

While I can see where some may make the comparisons wth the Defiant2, it would be juvenile to even compare the two.
The only features they share are stacked tube body with cocker barrel and feed port threads.


Eleventh, he Protege is 2D milled, while the Vice will be 3D milled, one of many reasons the Protege will be $200 less than the Vice.

While production has not started, BLAST plans to have 500+ of Proteges' available to the public and vendors at PSP World Cup.

Twelfth, the Protege and Vice will be 4 eye capable, the Protege will come with a single pair and Vice will be upgraded and come with 4.

While completely re-engineered, this marker is 100% Intimidator, just the fastest, most consistant, accurate and reliable version to date.
Like a well tuned autococker, this marker literally sucks balls down it's feed port.

Thirteenth, pressures for the LPR is 70psi, for the HPR is 210psi for approxiamately 300fps.

Fourteenth, operating DWELL IS AT 5 Milliseconds.

Fifthteenth, manifold mounted noid, a la Marq, fewer hoses for improved consistancy.
Oh crap! Sorry!
I'm 2 1/2 hours late for work, surely I will have more for you guys later.

I am looking forward to picking one of these up, looks promising


Here is a photoshop I put together using the two pics, keeping the lines on the frame that are shown and adding ram tube, eye covers, etc.:

much bettar!, but i'm still wondering about that asa... it has a rail mount, but it doesn't look like it is on the rail. direct mount wouldn't put it that far back would it?

actually it would be possible to mount a direct mount asa that far back if it is drilled with four asa mounting holes, then it is possible to mount it foward, middle or back on the frame.
