The Pikkadoll
A non-American designed and manufactured paintball gun. Amazing. Who’da thunk it? Apparently these three Swedes, who all have connections to Stockholm Ignition.
Here are the specs (taken straight from www.pikkadoll.com):
- Push-pull bolt-kit, bolt assembly removable without tools.
- Flexible Inline design to accommodate future upgrades.
- Interchangeable bolts for user preferred performance.
- Inserts for customizing operating pressure.
- Slide on 45 frame, hidden bolts for aesthetics, bolt only needs half
a turn to remove frame.
- Operating pressure as low as 100 psi.
- Extremely low reciprocating mass, no kick.
- Speed, as fast as your hopper feeds.
- Ball rollback eliminated, shoot the most brittle paint.
- Self cleaning eyes, no holes in the breech that get clogged.
- Repelling magnet trigger, accelerated force for faster trigger
return, hence more balls per second.
Cool stuff.
Price?
Around $1,750 USD. That’s 11.995 in SEK.
A little pricey for my tastes, but for a pro-circuit European team like Ignition, I guess that’s fine. If I was a pro, I’d be shooting something like it too.
I still don’t understand the operating system, but when a little more info comes out I’ll see what I can do.
