12 MacDev Cyborg 6 Marker The MacDev Cyborg has come a long way since its tall, blocky introduction so many years ago. Along the way the marker has gotten smaller, lighter and better in every way, and the 2014 Paintball Extravaganza showed off just how far the Cyborg has come as MacDev showed off prototypes of the Cyborg 6 that are almost ready for prime-time! Incredibly light and packed with high-tech features like electronic pressure monitoring, the Cyborg 6 will offer all the amenities and features players have come to expect in a top-level tournament marker, but with that “Down Under” touch and signature MacDev efficiency and accuracy. As their dealer and support network continues to expand throughout the United States, expect to see more MacDev and their family of markers at fields everywhere and look for a full review of the Cyborg 6 when it finally hits the street. www.macdev.com Tippmann TCR Marker The name Tippmann has been around paintball since the Eighties, innovating all the way. That being said, it was obvious that the company wasn’t about to let the magazine-fed craze sweeping paintball get past them and at the 2014 Paintball Extravaganza, they showed the world what they’d been up to. The newest marker to wear the legendary Tippmann name is the magazine-fed TCR, or Tactical Compact Rifle. Built on their successful TiPX pistol platform and resembling a PDW platform, the Tippmann TCR offers a long list of standard features like the ability to be fed from magazines in the grip or a hopper, the ability to utilize either 12 gram CO2 or high pressure air via a remote line adapter, flip-up sights, plenty of sight rails, a modular stock and an eleven inch barrel. At a suggested retail of $349 it’s safe to say Tippmann is going to hit the mag-fed world hard, and with a magfed marker from Tippmann available at that price, it’s also safe to say mag-fed paintball is hitting its stride! www.tippmann.com Special PBX Edition
