"Macros"Dug deep and made it to the battery and screen? What about all the bits that matter -the trigger, processors, solenoid etc?
At least the battery is cheap and easy to replace/ get spares. It's been covered ad nauseum how it's not 'slick' but the bottom line is it powers the gun and does the job just fine. A Ferrari does not have a polished and jeweled fuel tank I assure you. Most electric cars run on batteries that are basically laptop tech.
What would the point of an oled screen be, other than to drain more battery? Wanting it to look bling or hoping to watch youtube on your rifle?
I'm afraid your points on the electronics don't gel for me, at all.
As for tuning, and the talk about daystate milking people for extras like the tuning computer, FX and others are no different.
$400 caliber change kits and providing a standard ST liner in the X system of the MK2 wildcat for no apparent reason comes to mind...
Also funny that the makers of the 'cheap and dated' electronic gun have three times the warranty of fx.
There are no saints in business I'm afraid - none of these companies are making guns to be our friends.
The red wolf and the impact/crown all have characteristics some won't like or be irritated by, but it doesn't change the fact that they're exceptional guns and posting to dismiss one as cheap and dated based on a couple of minor points is weak and yes, antagonistic.
I looked at the solenoid, capacitors, and control electronics too; those are just a somewhat tunable copy of Paintball e-Triggers sold for past 13 years. Tippman makes a comparable circuit for $90, and Heliboard makes a significantly better circuit for $250. Perhaps electronics are a generational gap thing, because someone who grew up with iPads would never consider calculator screens "Ferrari grade" irrespective of how much shiny resin Daystate pours on the gun.
There is also a fundamental difference between FX overcharging $400 for a caliber change versus Daystate overcharging $400 for something that FX provides for free: tuning ability.
