New MacDev Marker: Tactical Drone

For years now MacDev have made high end markers for use in tournament paintball. The designers at MacDev have now made a new marker specifically designed for use in scenario paintball.

Construction
The Drone is CNC machined from solid Aluminium billets, without castings or cheap plastic parts, you will receive the same quality expected from MacDev high end tournament markers.

Pneumatic Drive
The Tactical Drone is based on a simplified, valveless version of the popular Droid marker of 2008, however it has enough changes to the drive system to make it a new design in its own right.

The pneumatic drive is fed by the next generation of inline regulator, the new Gladiator RX2. The new inline boasts industry leading flow, recharge, reliability and ease of maintenance.

Electronics
The board inside the Drone is based on the Cyborg RX electronic platform, however programming and feedback is achieved via a chameleon LED housed in the rear of the grip frame. A powerful microprocessor achieves lightning fast firing response and allows the user to access fire modes and select fire options.

Limitless Potential
Add-ons for the Drone will give almost limitless combinations and customisation to your marker, the Drone is the perfect platform for your ideal scenario machine-gun.

Key Specifications
Length,Width, Height (with Barrel) 475mm/225mm/45mm
Power 9V Alkaline
Weight (with Barrel/no Barrel) 1056g/961g
Barrel Thread AutoCocker
Propellant Compressed Air/N2
Included Barrel 12" 0.693 bore
Air Efficiency 1400+ rounds per 68/4500psi

The Tactical Drone is tentatively set for release at the end of July 2009.

That honestly looks like a pimp gat. Cant imagine Macdev's design into a scenario marker. Might pick this up next year to see all the reviews. Hopefully this will out-do the failure TM7.

That's kind of a cop-out by Macdev in my opinion. All they did was put a rail and a shroud on a Droid. No real improvements. They just made it look more like a scenario marker. I'd rather get the M-Tac.

They did switch out the solenoid's or something with the RX?

And I'm sure they did the same thing with the real RX. I assume your talking about the inline reg. All they did with the electronics was make it stupid proof, by dumbing it down a bit(if I'm reading the explanation right).

cant agree with you more

Read this thread if you still think its a Droid. Price tag looks to be 550-600.
This has a different drive train than the droid uses the new RX reg and has the RX electronics which are way better than the droid electronics this is a compleatly different marker.

I read the thread. And I still think it's a Droid, albeit a dumbed down, price-cut Droid with rails attached. From the look of the thread, everyone agrees with me too. The reason people liked the TM7, or the M-Tac, was because it looked like a milsim gun but had speedball worthy internals and electronics. This looks like a speedball marker with milsim stuff thrown on and the internals made cheaper to lower the cost.

bt tm-15 go look it up basically a mini but looks like a m4
