World Cup Time!

It's that time again, World Cup time! And you know what that means. All of the companies will be releasing the new versions of their markers and/or releasing new markers that will be the future of paintball. Here are a few things to look for in the coming weeks and in the next year.

1. Dye: Dye will be releasing the new addition to their Dye Matrix Series, the DM8. It is an even numbered year so that usually means new features. The only new feature that I am aware of is the new Hyper3 reg. It will supposedly make the DM8 more air efficient than the Hyper2 made its predicesors.
2. Smart Parts: Smart Parts will be debuting yet another entry level, "high end" marker, the Vibe. This thing looks like a fancy Epiphany. Once again Smart Parts takes advantage of their patents to release another low cost marker.
3. Blast: Bob Long is releasing their own low cost marker, the Protege. They have gone back to the Intimidator look and dropped the price to about $500. This marker will most likely perform like similar markers, the PMR, Epiphany, and Ion.
4. MacDev: I know I have already mentioned this but I don't want us to forget about it. MacDev's Droid will definately be a new one to look for.
