    Gotta be good to get a foot in this already over-saturated market... eager to see what they have to offer.

    Anyone going to that? Maybe snap some pics of this rifle :)  Or I guess I could wait til they post it on their fb page.

    Not really interested in "upgrade" kits, or accessory sets, but I wish them luck. The more the merrier :)

    Why not just put the new handle back where the eternally useless smaller handle is? THAT would be a real improvement.

    I think they wanted to copy the original rifle and the one Soundwave/Soundblaster was pictured with, but didn't include, so they didn't want to change it. But who knows, maybe they'll show up at some point and answer questions like that.

    *Bruce Wayne* Does it come in black?

    I agree handle needs to move back and get rid of the faux handle. The faux handle is causing the gun to sit too high cuz it hits the forearm.
