Well I am a advid reader on the armotech.us forum. Though they cant talk about the .com site on there forum here is the details that I have gotten so far.
Armotech is made over seas. The .us and the .net are the main websites. One is the company, other is a distrubeter (sorry cant spell tonight).
From what I understand the .com site was another distrubater that went "rouge" for lack of a better term.
So they desided to create their own line of paintball war-sim markers, but due to the copyright laws between USA and other countries, there is a legal battle to see who owns the name ARMOTECH.
The reason everyone calls .com a knock off, aint cause its plastic, but cause it copies the .net/.us markers,
This is why you see soo few reviews on Armotech's There is no way to tell whos marker is whos. You see the SIM-4 pimped everywhere with the armotech name on it. That is the "knock off".
Dont take offence. Im not knocking the quality of the sim4 marker, only cause I havent used it yet. I can tell from experience that armotech.us markers are very high priced compaired to other pain ball guns of same performance.
But when I got my Zeus G2 Limited in (5 week delay due to demand), the 1st think I noticed was it was alot heaver then the PTX that I had. This thing was not just plactic and pop can aluminum. This this was solid and sturdy.
Armotech.us prides its self on makeing markers that are as real as you can get to the real weapons (weight, size, balance, recoil, etc). In my opinion, that is what you are paying for.
My Zeus G2 pistol costed me like 400 be the time im done. I could get a sweet full size maker with that cash. But with the Zeus, I can take 10 Mins between games and go from a pistol to a full size marker with 8 inch barrel, hopper, folding stock, bottomline, and e-trigger (14 BPS max) and use my PTX as backup.
The biggest problem with the zeus are they shoot like 350-375 out of the box at times. You have to either wear down the spring, or cut 2-5 off, but they are deisgned for that.
But until the legal battle is over, you will have nothing but confusion over armotech SIM-4s and armotech WGs and all their other markers.
Bottomline: The Sim-4s are "copy-cats" and not orginals from the parent and 1st armotech company. ( though they are spyder-clones, cause of the blowback design)
