133 lon wax, instead of silicone. man that regularly practiced at Rich’s field and they would shoot my prototypes and give me feedback – not all of it positive. Then in 2005 their second squad, XS NRG shot the first guns Alien made. How did the Paintball Extravaganza go for you? This year’s Extravaganza was especially fun for us. The response we got was usually Wow. Actually 3 wows. One for how light the gun was, Because it is so narrow and its low profile, a second for how light the Actuator is. Then a third for how the Morf Valve works. Players like the low maintenance and the narrow feel of a double staked gun. What they don’t like the sound or the extra kick. By equally the sound signature of a spool and cutting the moving mass down to below that of a spool it give players saw that it was the best of all the features. What new products did you show at the Extravaganza? The gun, the vale for the gun, some hats, some t’s and the new grease we have “Alien Slime” that is a green Tef- What are your goals for 2014 and beyond? We have always been about great shooting guns. That won’t change. Our real goal is to make this our breakthrough year. We kid that our support is a foot wide and a mile deep. Those that like Alien guns sometimes post that they are the only guns they will never sell. We feel the new Deception gun has the looks and performance to take that solid base of support and extend it so that enough guns are out there that most every players has one on his field. Make it so players can see in person exactly what an Alien gun is. Once that happens, players will choose Alien as now, more than ever, the gun speaks for itself. How do you feel about the state of paintball right now? We feel that paintball is becoming more polished now. The early crazy days are behind us. The booming economy bought in a lot of big heads and demanding players, some of who partied a bit too much, trashed venues at times and weren’t as professional, thoughtful or inclusive as they might have been. It seems that now more of the Pros and players understand that we have to care for our sport, be good representatives of paintball, and look at it from a standpoint of where we want it to be in 5 or 10 years. We keep our eye on the result and paintball has a bright future. Chess with guns, nothing is more fun than that. WWW.PAINTBALLX3.COM
