If you take a look at the drawings and 3D renders you will see the cover. It will be two inches wide and will have a 6 or 12 inch picatinny across it. It will also be lower than the current prototype.

Poland: Haha, I thought the sideburns might be a bit hipster, I concur. We will be making more videos soon and will continue to up the production value. It needed to be made and we finally have a complete system to market to the Military.

The first video says "removed by user"

Otherwise, excellent gun, still!

Very nice gun. How does the trigger mechanism work? In the video, It looks like an electronic switch instead of a trigger.

It is a clippard push button valve but it is going to be upgraded to a clippard cartridge insert valve with a real trigger and mechanical safety in production.

We have a design and parts for an elecronic valve that we will be using in the near future as well for super efficient valve timing.

If it isn't, then it's a pretty good rip-off...

It looks like they re-used some of your footage as well. Specifically, shooting the dummy with the hoodie on and loading the various different projectiles.

Yes, they used a bunch of earlier videos and our latest video to piece together something to promote it. I didn't attend but had someone bring a first generation launcher.

We will have a new video by the end of the month that shows the newest launcher with a few updates like a cover for the indexer and rails. Also a mechanical safety and gun style trigger instead of the pushbutton will be utilized.

I'm glad to hear it wasn't some kind of ripoff. I didn't suspect it was; I've always thought Airsplat was a fantastic company.

We look forward to the updates.
