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.
