Anyone used a Dragun TES B yet?

[Hideous]

I am interested in knowing whether anyone is using a Dragun TES ?

Pro's.. con's?

Anyone?

[BIG ROB]

Havn't used one yet. Just had a quick look in Pbreview and there is only 2 reviews so far, both good. here is the site. (hope it works)

[Hideous]

thanks mate.

I want a loaner marker and its looks like a goer unless someone can suggest a cheap <$500 marker with the same features.

http://ogi.tv/products/markers/

new website and a newer TES X
I wonder what a Sensor element is ?

[Camo]

:cry: and i am think of getting a timmy :cry:

[Hideous]

:cry: and i am think of getting a timmy :cry:

i'd love a Timmy, just at x2.5 times the price - its not an option.

A Xmag is still on my xmas shopping list.

[Rainman]

Ring John at Action and he will fill you in.02 9679 0011 I know that he has them in stock and will tell you whats the go with them.I have seen them, they look great but have not yet shot one.

Where are you shopping? Wish i could find a timmy for under $1300

[Hideous]

A TES B is from $430 to $480

Good point about a Timmy .. x4 times then.

But then everyone says you need to mod the TES: rail for the airsystem, new barrel and when you can,, a wizz bang timmy bolt.

[Camo]

still that well under the price of timmy, but hidious you already own 3 sick markers why do u another???

[Hideous]

still thast well under the price of timmy, but hidious you already own 3 sick markers why do uou another???


Another ? At that price its a lovely loaner.
I am sure you'd get twitchy when someone is using one of your baby's.

Most people wont get a backup marker. Whilst I have the desire and cash I will make sure my team is not disadvantaged with a marker falling over..

Last SAPPA my Maxflo self destructed... just as we were walking on for our last game. Bushy from Bruise Brother's loaned me his 03 Sonic Cocker.
Both my backups - my Cyborg and Raced Sonic were being used by my other team members.

Plus I like to try new markers, so my opinion is based on my experience with the actual marker rather than reading some 15yo's opinion on pbnation or pbreview.

[Camo]

Yeah i am with you on making on your opion, I find it funny that its all the low end markers are getting 10 out of 10 on PBreview, but an high end marker, they are normally 7/10, it seems a bit strange.

Is any one thats going to be at southpacs that can show use who these things go???

[Electrofunkster]

call action and ask them if they can bring one up to have a look at ..

[Hideous]

Cool

Looks like there are a few interested in the Dragun TESB.
I suppose if we like them at South Pac's we can pay for them immediately and then APG can ship it down to a local dealer.

MIKE / JOHN..

What will the SOUTHPAC special $$ be on the TES's ?
So far i have a price for $430 from a Vic dealer.

[Camo]

Hidous i think the the TES that action are just TES not b or x or ..., I could be wrong, John would you be able to make this clear for us :D, also would there be much difference?


http://www.pbreview.com/products/reviews/2366/
Heres the link, on pb review of the ones that actions selling, its got a good rating of 130 reviews, that must say somthing :angel:

[Mike]

Yes I will bring a TES for everyone to have a shoot of, to the South Pacs......

As for specials guys we no longer try to compete with internet bedroom stores......

Yeah mate, just pay a deposit and I will get one in for you......we have 20 Dragun TES in stock in lots of mad colours.


That said, if anyone orders a Dragun TES from us over the South Pacs Weekend and I will give them one of the new Viewloader 9 volt motorised hoppers plus a 20 ounce bottle for $25.00 to make it a set.

So $510.00 for a complete brand new electronic semiauto paintball marker (in fade or full colours) with ported barrel, antichop eye, Co2 tank and a motorised hopper, plus a gun case.
This is limited to the buyers who order (with a $100.00 deposit) over this weekend only.

[Hideous]

How about

- A Tes B, a 12v Revie hopper and a drop that will take a normal air tank ?

( From what I have read a standard air tank 68/4500 wont fit the standard supplied drop- as the one supplied is for C02 ).

[AGGS]

Hey did any of you guys check out the T.E.S at the SPPC?

I will be going down to Action to see what marker i should look at getting, and at the moment im thinking it will be between this and an Impulse. I wont pick up on a lot of things you guys probably would so any info would be appreciated from the guys who checked them out :)

[Hideous]

They have renamed them Torrid's !!!! no longer TES,

Cheapest so far is $195 US to a max of $250 US retail! yayyy

[Camo]

So hidous, did you like it the TES at SPPCs?

[TRENT]

:cry: He didnt make it to South Pacs. Broke his ribs on the thursday. :cry:

[TRENT]

A nice pic of the TES

[Camo]

That is one long barrel,
They look nice, i am think blACK to red fade

Did you get a go of it trent??
Get better hidious :D

[TRENT]

Had a look but unfortunatlyt co2 bottle was empty. Had a shot and seemed very quick as could here the trigger clicking.

imps have a better street cred.

but the dudes at action will help you out deciding no probs :yes:

[Hideous]

And for $195 US for a TES B or Torrid as they are called now?

An impy starts at ????????

[Yzo]

you can get a vision impulse for 800 at action. i'd pick a vision imp any day over a dragun

[Hideous]

That is x 2 the price.

I already have decent markers... but as a loaner for my tight arse team mates its perfect.

[Yzo]

That is x 2 the price.
.

yep but our mate fallen didnt say he had a budget. :kiss:

[Camo]

a normal impy, is pretty average thou isan't unless you strange impy

[Hideous]

yep but our mate fallen didnt say he had a budget. :kiss:

Very true ! Get A Dynasty instead !!!!!!

The old Tes B - no longer sold as Draguns in the USA but as Torrids which are an entry level marker ($420-480AU is a decent start without air.)

[TRENT]

No, get a Timmy!

[Hideous]

No, get a Timmy!

How much was the naughty? Talking about team mates

[TRENT]

Lots more than a TES thats for sure!

[Hideous]

I would guess maybe x3 to x4 as much more

So when will you get a Torrid/TESb as a backup ?

[TRENT]

Soon. Once all these Tourneys stop. Still have to pay for SAPPA R3, Hookem, Masters and SAPPA R4. Guess I will use the 1st Place prizemoney from Masters to buy one.

[Hideous]

Guess I will use the 1st Place prizemoney from Masters to buy one.

Hmm actually i'd rather just go nuts in Mike's shop.

<make note to myself - leave Creditcard behind>

[eukanuba]

But then everyone says you need to mod the TES: rail for the airsystem, new barrel and when you can,, a wizz bang timmy bolt.

Is it a cocker thread for the barrel ?

- Euk.

[Hideous]

Is it a cocker thread for the barrel ?

- Euk.

No its a spyder thread. I can see a macdev set appearing.

[TRENT]

LOL, that exactly what my bro is after as well.

[AGGS]

imps have a better street cred.

but the dudes at action will help you out deciding no probs :yes:

Hahahaha yeah they helped me out heaps. I swear it was like they read my mind and knew that i wanted to buy a bigger, nastier marker and just needed to hear some good reasons to spend more of the money i dont have :P

Yeah i am on a budget, well not really a budget, mainly impatience, cos the more i have to spend the longer ill need to wait :cry:

I think i have done a complete reversal now, instead of going low end and then upgrading later ill probably spend a bit more right off the bat. I'm in two minds though whether to get a new Shocker, or to go a Nightkast(i'm leaning this way). And now the really hard part: if i do go down the cocker road do i just lash out and get the Nightkast(which means waiting longer to get the moulah) or do i buy an Outkast which costs less and is the same bar the Worrblade, and then buy the worrblade later on which means you actually get some extra goodies that dont come with the Nightkast(different bolt and maybe some other stuff), BUT, i am fairly sure that a hole would need to be drilled in the Outkast to fit the Eye....

Hmmmm such decisions, anyways i still have to mosey down to action this Sunday so im sure the guys down there will have a heap more info and stuff for me....as long as the credit card remains in the pocket all will be fine :lol:

[Hideous]

I am sure Mike will tempt you with a Shocker.

Cocker.. love mine since I put the raceframe on it, but its so retro.

[TRENT]

If going for a cocker i would check the for sale section at Ben's Cocker. Heaps better than a Nightkast and beleive me you wont be disappointed. Ill get a video of it ripping this weekend for you.

[AGGS]

Yeah before i even had a chat with the boys at Action i was convinced that my ultimate weapon of choice would be a Shocker and i thought that is what they would recommend as well, but they had heaps of good stuff to say about the cockers, especially the E orracle(which they gassed and let me fool around with, and i now regret it cos i want one :P ), so now im a little confused as to what i want, but from what i can tell the Nightkast may be more for me, but they do seem a little more complex from what i can tell. But a Shocker is a Shocker and they look like a fine piece of gear

[AGGS]

If going for a cocker i would check the for sale section at Ben's Cocker. Heaps better than a Nightkast and beleive me you wont be disappointed. Ill get a video of it ripping this weekend for you.

Yeah that would be sweet if you could get that video, ive already hit him up with some questions about it.

Its pretty tempting cos it looks like it has pretty much the same gear, but i dont know whether i want to go second hand or new, cos for a few hundred more i could get a nice new shiny Nightkast/Shocker...Too many damn options i know too little about :P

[TRENT]

Ben is a race gun tech im sure, its his job to know how to look after the stuff. Its all custom work and im sure if you where to buy it all new would be looking at $2k+.

[AGGS]

Dont spose you have a good link for the Race frame do you? i just checked out the manufacturers site and they dont go into a lot of detail about the features etc

[Hardcore]

There's a Timmy for sale here somewhere.........
I heard the guy that owns it is getting rid of it because he can't shoot it fast enough.
I'd go for the Shocker, if your budget/patience can stretch that far.

[AGGS]

You know what will happen when the impatience kicks in...Credit card fingers get itchy, and Virgin Credit gets very happy with the interest i start paying them :P

I am fairly sure, at this point, that it will be a shocker or the Nightkast, but im still very open to everyone opinions/facts/comments etc

[Camo]

shocker for sure, but as the other guys said bens selling a custom cocker from 1280 i think.. which would shit all over the nightkast, theres numerous threads about racegun and i am sure if your nice Ben will be more then happy to answer any questions.

[Tom]

have you looked at the super stocks on the action web site a eblade cocker for around 1200 or 1300 all you would have to do later down the track is maybe upgrade the ram and bolt wich is prop no more than 200 but thats only if you want to hit insane rates . i am thinking about getting a super stock as a back up in case my orricle decides to shit its self five minutes before a game .

[AGGS]

Yeah i looked at them as well, but i figured if was to go with a cocker i would prolly go all out and get the Nightkast, or if i wanted the cheaper option looking to upgrade later id go the Outkast...or the Shocker :P

[Hideous]

TES B / Torrid $400

Timmy ~$2400
Shocker ~1800
cocker ~$600- $3000

what are you buying?

[Hardcore]

Dude, where are you buying your Shocker from????

[Pompous Frog]

Dude, where are you buying your Shocker from????

I believe he's making refference to the custom shockers such as the Dynasty and Nasty shockers. They're are around that price range and higher. Although many other shockers a quite a bit bellow that price range.

[Hideous]

I think I have seen a $599 US non vision shocker

A Shocker with vision is a $830 US marker.

A Shocker with Vision, and maxflo tank and reg is $1150 US


< next level >

A Dynasty is a $1100 US marker - remember a Cyborg is $980 US retail

A Strange Shocker is $1050

A Heavy Metal Shocker is $1150

A Toxic I think is still $1200

These are 5% US taxed "retail prices". all dealers naturally get better prices.

A $195 US retail TesB is $275.00AU - I am happy to pay $450 here cos of shipping, GST and a reasonable profit margin.

[AGGS]

I think i have decided on the Shocker, will see what the story is after the weekend. Hopefully i wont come back with toys and a dangerous credit balance...

[Action John]

And just to make your decision harder we will have some DM4's before the end of next week.

[Blobby]

looking for a good top marker that aint going to rip you a new one in the pocket book??
www.macdev.net

CYBORG

made in aus and the servide centre is in aus........

as usedby EXL team IGNITION

[AGGS]

And just to make your decision harder we will have some DM4's before the end of next week.

Noooooooo shuddup, i refuse to look at the super sleek looking DM4 jobbies.

I can get a Shocker plus all the gear i need for the price of just the DM4 :armed:

I have already been upsold from the TES and Impulse, MERCY!!! :lol: i have taken a poll of all work mates, friends and family and so far 0 people want to buy me a marker :P mmmmmmmmmm credit :no: :yes: :no: :yes: :no: :yes:

[Blobby]

Cyborg $1430 AUD (includes .689 matchstik barrel)
conquest Air system $660 68 Cu 4500psi tank (legal and approved in all Aus states)
total for marker AND AIR $2090 AUD (includes GST)
Mac Dev ...Aus owned and made.........and selling to the WHOLE WORLD............

[AGGS]

Hahahahaha look what ive started, i feel sorry for the poor guy whose thread i have destroyed :D

Yeah the Cyborg was another outside chance i thought of

[Hideous]

It's cool mate.

If i was worried, i'd be asking a mod to close the thread.

[AGGS]

Thanks boss, much appreciated :thumbsup:

[Hideous]

too many rules already!!!

Hope you do get a shocker !! more the better.

As i said i want a backup.... for mates or emergencies and the TES is perfect

[AGGS]

Yeah considering the price the TES seems like a sweet gun, they were quite small too
