What is the difference between the Onyx, Marq 6, Ripper, Mummy, and all of the other new Bob Long markers? I'm so confused.

DarkTamer

Mummy was the "codename" for the Onyx. Bob Long can't use the term Onyx anymore since it was used under NPS which he recently split off from, so he know calls it the Marq6. They're all the same gun.

The Ripper is an intimidator, a completely different gun.

no wonder i'm so confused. i thought they all looked similar. btw i've a few onxy's called rippers. were people just misnaming their own gun or what?

DarkTamer

Come to think of it, I believe they had some special version of the Marq6 that had slightly different milling or something, it's called the Ripper. At least I think.

thanks now that you said it was called a ripper marq6 or 7 i think.

there is no difference, there is one similarity though, and thats that my ion will destroy those guns.

you are the reason that I as well as other people hate ion owners.^

I also belive that there is some milling changes, but all in all they are the same gun.

those are the versions of bob long's onyx/mummy (both names that he can't use anymore)

The difference, milling. Like every bob long gun. It's all cosmetic.

4 eyes!?!?! that makes no sense its like that JT quadra gun with 4 eyes...they defeat the purpose of having them. and yes its true noober, IONS suck...im so glad that you agree that your marker can never be as good as ANY of Bob Longs Products or hell ANY other decent marker out there... please do us a favor go back to the nation and bother them, they want their retard back.

yea i know im dissing my own gun, but honestly im upgrading in a few months and crap like this has to stop

I think the four eyes is a seperate upgrade for both of them, they both come with the 2 eye setup unless the 4 eyes are ordered. At least that's what I understand from looking at Bob Long's site, when you go to order them they both have the four eyes as a seperate item to order.

I don't know what the purpose of the four eyes was in the Quadra, perhaps it was the same idea, but here's the basic premise of the four eye system in the Marq: In a "normal" gun with only one set of eyes, the gun will fire when a ball is detected at the bottom of the breech, waiting to be fired. The extra set of eyes in the Marq is above is the standard set, so that the ball can be sensed sooner, thus the firing sequence started sooner. This works out, because the firing cycle does not actually beging until the solenoid has fully activated. So the solenoid can begin moving in order to redirect the air before the ball is actually ready to be fired. This shaves of a handful of ms off of the firing cycle, resulting in a higher ROF. Might even begin moving the ram & bolt forward a tiny bit before the ball is fully seated, although I think it's just the solenoid.

I wish I could explain it better... but it's already proven that it works, the Marq can shoot at a higher BPS (not CPS) than any timmy I've seen.

basically 4 eyes allow the gun to actively determine the bolt delay instead of using a set value.

Hmm. This 4 eye idea sounds interesting.


Still the greatest timmy body style. ever.

Daziak

on the Quadra the Eyes are put one set in the normal area, and the other are 90 degrees so it makes like a + sign the eyes get worn out after like 3 days of the bolt pushing over them and i think they've quit the design. But on the Marq i can see how that would work out.
