"After over a year in development, GrimmWorks Designs is pleased to announce "The Hydra" double barrel, pump paintball marker Kit. The Hydra has completed the prototype phase and is ready to go into production. Watch for a late spring/ early summer release.
The modular design allows for the mounting of any Phantom feed configuration coupled with the Autococker hinge frame of your choice.
Design also boasts a 2-stage trigger system, allowing both barrels to be fired individually."
This is an idea I'v been tossing around for quite some time, and i finally started designing and prototyping last winter. My goal here was to offer an affordable drop-in kit giving people acces to a double barrel marker, who might not otherwise have the opportunity to own one.
Initally the kit will include the rail, pump kit and trigger assembly. one piece gang valves will follow shortly afterwards. Down the road a little bit I plan on dual spring feeds with the eventuallity of a body kit to complete the marker.
I havn't worked out the final price point yet, I should have a better idea of the final manufacturing costs over the next couple weeks; then i will be able to release more details.
The prototype in the picture is my personal marker, the production models will look much different.
The milling on this one was a bit of an homage to some of Brad Nestle's work from back in the day. The red/gold splased parts are off my Nestle Phantom. The airsmiths of old were a pretty big contributing factor in my decicion to become a machinist, figured it was the least i could do
Notice the milling on the trigger assembly
later
