The Luxe at HB, Anyone?

[Kostohris]

Did anyone see or shoot a luxe at hb? is it basically just shocker operation? how was it? reviews? trash? "luxury"? just another shocker? ect.

thanks!

I don't know about anyone else but I really like it. All the new features and the other great technology that went into it I'd give it a thumbs up except you read on a bit and look at the price and you smile quickly turns to a frown.

yeah i think it looks pretty nice, price tag seems a little bit high though

to me, the speaker is dumb, i dont like that type of interface... i also do not like the rechargable battery idea. i think it looks very cool minus the foregrip. i am excited to shoot one. the hinged bolt idea is cool too!

personally I think the speaker is a good idea. It gets rid of the hassel of trying to memorize blinking colored lights. Instead it just tells you what setting your in and what your going to change it to.

DLX Technology, which is a new company started by Smart Parts. It's basically the same as the Dye/Proto situation, only in this case the mid-range gun company made a new name to market a top of the line marker rather than the other way around.

More like Bill and Adam Gardner decided to make a shell subsidary aimed toward the marketshare who can afford a $1100+ marker. Smart Parts has historically always marketed at the "high end market" with the original pneubox shocker. Its the new wave of temporary kids that affected their marketing strategies. People are always spewing sh!t about the "next great gun" this is no different. You can give a monkey a nuclear bomb but that doesnt mean he'll know how to detonate it.

ever played with an ego? easiest gun ever to program.... no talking, no blinking lights... just a screen. its a beautiful thing and its how every gun should be. IMO

i think its great when companies branch out and diversify like this. it helps the market become even more competitive and competition breeds perfection.

yeah I've played with an ego before I own one and yes it is easy to program them. I just think this is a new and innovative way to program a board.
