MUST WATCH: Carmatech Engineering SAR12 Platform

Well hello there! And to think this week is just getting started.

Checkout this new mag-fed marker coming out this summer. The "Carmatech Engineering SAR12 Platform". Gotta love when new comers shake things up :)

Here is Carmatech's info from their YouTube post.

A digital demonstration that shows the capabilities of Carmatech Engineering's new product. A .68 caliber paintball, First Strike enabled precision bolt action rifle that will be introduced at the 2012 International Paintball Expo in Washington DC. This project in its current form is the culmination of over two years of engineering, design, and analysis. Patent pending technology allow for bolt action to semi auto change over, and reversible magazine design. This design also allows for future change over to other chassis systems that will be released at later dates. Features not noted in video Magazine feed or hopper feed Twelve (12) round magazine Precision Rifle Specifications  20 inch barrel with Autococker threads Free floating extended foregrip Fully adjustable buttstock CQB Rifle Specifications CQB rifle 16 inch barrel with Autococker threads Free floating compact foregrip Adjustable buttstock with integrated air tank mounting Accessories 1) Remote line extension. (Allows for remote mounting of the asa to the 1913 Mil Rail located on the bottom of both buttstocks.) 2) Extended Magazines (Increased capacity for the CQB operators) 1913 Mil Rails for mounting to the foregrip 3) Chassis systems

UPDATE from Carmatech:

Thanks for your interest, and questions. Yes the barrel is removable (autococker threads), and yes the design is optimized for user adaptability (ie remote line, tank, or 12 gram) We have added some additional information to the above description to aid in clarity of the product.

UPDATE 2 from Carmatech:

We are intrigued by the conversations and post being placed. Lots of questions, and do we have answers. This product will be coming out this summer, with preorders taking place at the expo this week. We have invested significant time and funding into two functional prototypes that are shooting First Strike rounds with precision. We have learned significantly with the production of these units and have revamped the "prototypes" to promote user functionality, ease of operation, and user adaptability. Lets start by answering some of the questions.

1) The cheek weld works as designed, and allows the mask to wrap around the check rest.

2) Our company is founded by a paintball scenario player that just happens to be a mechanical engineer. Our VP of Marketing happens to be a world famous professional tourney player. We bleed this game, and understand what Mil Sim players are looking for.

3) Quality is the name of our game. Each and every unit will be hand assembled by the engineer that designed the SAR12. Also not one manufactured component will be made outside of the USA. American Made, in honor of those who serve! More to follow, God bless

PS. Prototype images will be available on Carmatech Youtube Channel and
