It's just stupid in my opinion and should not be allowed on the forum.
The only thing it's good for is to let simple minds get airguns classified as weapons.
People can't have fun without some D A showing up and ruining the party.

I agree, I don’t get it at all…but sometimes I’m an attitudinal grumpy old bastard, so there’s that too.

Crosman has been pushing the full auto line of BB guns pretty hard... that wont help either

I know you're right about full auto airguns. But I'm mad at the powers that be not this hard working designer and entrepreneur. The gun is 100% made in America, match grade trigger, select fire and it eats everything . So far power is 55 gn at 900 fps.100fpe. It's going to be a little over 2k for price. If I could snap my finger and there was no full auto airguns I probably would. But the reality is they are here and when this finally comes on market I'm gonna get one for sure. You know it's the most fun you can have with you're pants on.

Ya its all USA now because they're all prototypes, but wait. In order to get the price point down to sell enough units they'll need to global outsource parts, guaranteed. Production, incident and then regulation.

Price is fine. He said about like a sk 19 so around 2k. A stellar deal relative to the rest of the airgun market. It is far and away the very best at what it does. Many things are 100% made in US not that I would mind if he did what you said. I just understand the simple fact he won't (as others have not) have to. He has hundreds of them I'd say from what he has said and the photos I've seen. More than just prototypes.
All I can say is when man when? Can't wait

Sure, cybertuck 2.0, coming soon $50k. Got to see it on-line and for sale. One big step closer to regulation.

WTF is the point of that thing? Save some money and get a full auto BB gun and add a tank to it same concept. That thing is pointless unless your trying to big dick it to people with how fast it shoots.

The Falcon and Valka Airguns will be at the NRA national show in a few weeks. Right next to the Smith and Wesson booth. Due to working out Patent stuff, he had to go very dark for a while. But after a long road of legal stuff, it's here. I think I'm getting one for a video....so "coming to an Airgun Channel near you soon."

Hey Nate. I dropped you a message. I'd really appreciatr it if you could reply when you can! Thanks!

Hey Nate. Seems like they didn't show up at the show. A fellow member couldn't find them. Website says shipping starts in September. I don't know what's going on but it sure seems like it's not just legal stuff they are having trouble with

Looks like they are getting ready to launch soon (around October I think).
I'm guessing the guy was way over his head on this project iniatially. Which is understandable. It can easily take years for a brand new airgun to go from concept to production model. Even for established companies it can take a long time. From what I can tell, this started out as a one-man hobby project.
There is so much that goes into it. Patents/legal stuff, manufacturing, testing, supply lines, marketing etc. It's one thing to tinker around in your garage, but actually bringing a product to market is a whole 'nother ball game. He probably overestimated the work that goes into it... leading to false promises.
As for the incessant whining about "regulations", I'm willing to bet you guys said the exact same thing when the Hatsan Blitz came out. And nothing ever came of it. With every new AEA model, the same sentiment can be heard as well. It's honestly getting a bit tiring. Manufacturers aren't going to hold back just because a few people are paranoid about regulations that may or may not arrive one day. It's supply and demand at the end of the day.

Welp, that was a dud. This guy really needs to work on his communication (assuming this wasn't a massive scam to begin with). Rather than addressing the endless delays, he turned off the comments on his last 2 videos. Probably because many we're calling him a scammer. I don't know if he took the money and ran, but from what I can tell he did accept payments through PayPal and then went silent again.
The first batch was supposed to launch in October/November, but once again nothing came of it. In other words, don't pre-order anything from this guy.
