ProPB Leak: Mysterious Email
It’s not often that a genuine scoop pops into your inbox, but tonight we’ve received just that. An email claiming to be from a company with big plans and some cool ideas. We’re not totally sure what this is or who is making it since it doesn’t look like any brand we recognize – all we can say is that it’s new, it’s coming soon, and you’re looking at a photo – not a render [3D pro on staff assures us of this, as does the email - Rob]. That means this is serious. The design sure looks unusual, but if there’s enough space in that trigger guard it could also be very comfortable. We’re certainly looking forward to shooting this one and will bring you more info the instant it’s available!
What are your thoughts on the design? Let us know in the comments!

kinda looks like a newer version of an ion
barrel = dp without a doubt
Looks like a ion/victory/DP FX
I dont like the trigger frame… or the trigger
ION on steroids?
I was thinking it may be a new mini. Has a lot of similar characteristics.
Every time I look at it I think “Dangerous Power.”
Im willing to bet its the new vangaurd spoolie!!!!
If you look at the grips they are almost identical to the creeds, and the what looks to be built in reg like on the creed.
i concur! +1
Vanguard has been working on there spool valve for years now. This is not Vanguard. There have been rumors of Vanguard having a spool valve marker soon but like the Creed it will be a rumor till one is seen and then put into production.
Some of you are on the right path of the Marker Though……..but since I know what it is, it would just not be fair for me to ruin all the fun.
Mini?
DP?
Vangaurd?
GI Milsim?
Looking at the back I keep thinking about the Quest.
Looks like a cheap dye gun
Vangaurd Spoolie!!!!!!
Things are getting a bit HOSTILE in here
new company and new gun, HOSTILE
The logo on the side looks like half of the invert logo. Also the cutouts at the breach end of the barrel look like the barrel on the current mini. I’m currious to find out if the front houses a reg or the electronics since it’s attached to the reciever. Weird. It also looks like there might be a guage on the back simular to the G3. I’m going for Invert though.
looks like a new spyder
Yeah, it has a lot of the characteristics as a mini would…Empire is my guess.
The Mini 2.0!!!!
It’s about time they did some changes to the Mini.
It looks like it has an OLED board in it. If you look at the grip you 3 dashes. The middle dash looks like a screen. Most likely the new Invert Mini. Not the vanguard stuff because I saw a picture of there spoil on PBNation one day. Would check out the word Hostile though.
It looks like there is a tiny hole on the bottom of the “front grip”, but its not big enough to suggest that it can be adjusted to control velocity. Maybe its where the battery is? Or electronics? Or it adjusts on the side, like a cp reg.
Im almost positive that this is NOT the new quest.
Going by a couple other posts, Hostile Creations?
http://hype.pbguide.com/pbnation/new-paint-line-new-company-hostile-creations/
Background in firearms, developing a paint brand, etc. Unfortunately their website isn’t up yet. Seems possible
May as well stop comparing it to other guns as it has similarities to too many. At this point I’m assuming it’s a new brand that had their own ideas internally and is heavily influenced by competitor’s guns visually.
looks like a tippmann……………………………………………………………………………………….
It’s the bastard love child of an Alien and a mini. The simple barrel and eye covers remind me of Jack Rice, as does the low profile feedneck. The body and foregrip look invert, as does the logo and bolt.
Who do I address the cheque too?
what ever it is, its beautiful. I’d swap my girlfriend for it.
I take it she doesn’t follow ptball? Careful, we don’t know which fires faster, but I’d bet she’s more lethal
Looks Like Alien Has Some Big Plans!
Its made by Hostile… new company, sweet marker.
This gun does look very comfortable. Looks like a victory imo, but i have no idea who makes it.
Hostile Creations. (Hostilecreations.com)
AKA Dangerous Power’s old people, that care about customer service. /End.
looks like the mini’s barrel
Does look like a smart parts gun :) The plot thickens. :P (Hard to tell if it’s plastic or metal imho)
maybe the new luxe?????????????????????
the back kinda looks like a Macdev and the front a PMR hmmmmmmmmmm
it looks like a paintball gun
That is a rendering, not a photo. I am 100% confident.
looks comfortable and no idea who makes it
That is a render…
Pretty sure I know who this is from.
Vadim from Infamy was using it, they are sponsored by Hostile. Case Closed.
It’s the new Hostile Paintball prototype. Saw a guy on Infamy shooting one as DC Challenge
I have honestly learned to wait before you buy! I have shot and teched all the markers stated above! tell me what marker ever came out new with out major upgrades until a final version was released that worked. How many players payed shipping costs to warranty centers to get them fixed.
And speaking from current experience! LCD windows in the grip panels mean smashed LCD’s on the board!
The marker industry prey’s on the lack of knowledge of new/inexperienced players! All to beat the competition to the punch!
I dont know what really is but it looks like a low quality marker to me.But we have to wait…
Low quality, or just simple design without all the cr*p covering it? Plain doesn’t mean low quality, the Midnight Geo 2 looks dull and is a super marker. Its got two screw holes on the underside of the body, but no apparent dividing line between grip frame and body. Any ideas?
ugly~~~
Mini made love to an Ion.
I have a strong feeling this may be another alex Hodge (LX) design he designed the Vanguard Creed, ( this gun has nothing to do with Gun Ltd)
If you look at his page he already has a spool valve design up. It’s nice but nothing like this.
http://www.hodge.co.nz/paintball.html
look at the front of the SinR and look at this. I was told by a Manufacturer that who ever designed this had a hand in the creed. so he’s the only guy i know.
Going off your reasoning it could also be a nano!
it might be a invert mini 2 go look at a mini and compare the grip positioning
it looks like the invert mini 2 if you ask me
Whatever it is, I’m saving up for it now!
really? it could be the shittist gun ever made!
HaHaHaHa
By the same token, it could be the greatest marker ever.
Valken Proton?
looks like it is another mid range priced gun that will be advertised to shoot as good as the real high end guns but will fail, undoubtably.
…mean while back at the ranch.
This marker from Hostile Creations looks pretty friggin sweet.
From what I’ve heard, there were a couple of really good guys that started Dangerous Power, who decided to start another company after Amazone Inc. bought out DP, and started changing the focus of the company away from customer service.
In addition to having innovative products, Hostile Creations will set a new standard in customer service, and they’ll probably have the best customer service in the industry.
This marker will be beyond anything from Dangerous Power. It should be as good as anything out there right now. I’m sure everyone will go “ape” over the OLED board.
HAHAHAHAHA nicely done
feedneck looks like an alien.. the rest like a mini.. but if i was a betting man i would say it not either one.. so who knows?????
Looks like it has Chris Cole written all over it!
ITS A GEO!!!!!!!
DUHHHHHHHHHH
HAS AND E ON THE GRIPS……PLANET ECLIPSE
DUHHHHHHHHHHHHH
http://www.ansgear.com/PhotoGallery.asp?ProductCode=APERAMPAGEBOARDG4OLED
bet its got this in it
OMG HOW MANY TIMES DO PEOPLE HAVE TO POST THIS!! ITS FROM HOSTILE CREATIONS (DANGEROUS POWER’S EX EMPLOYEES WHO QUIT AFTER AMAZON BOUGHT DP).. Im expecting great CS along with high quality for a very reasonable price.. :)
You are correct. This has nothing to do with valken, smartparts, alien, or any other company people are talking about. Wish I could say more but there may be some legal issues with that.
to me it looks like a droid/clone so i think its coming from macdev but it might also becomeing from smartparts
Its definitely a re buddle from Smart Parts
Looks like a luxe reg, ion frame, proto/geo body and eyes along with an ego on/off… like someone took diff gun parts and put em all together. Weird.
its a alien, cuz the feedneck, trigger , and asa nob are the same!!!
its a dangerous power gat VERY simmilar milling to a dp
Similar milling because the guys making it used to work for DP.
go TOMMY go !!!!!!!!!!!!
It looks nothing like a droid/clone the only thing that those guns and this gun have in common is back cap at the end, and even that look very different. It is not from smartparts ether they are out of business.
its a sl8r with a luxe reg/asa and a clone body :D
looks like grips are half an invert logo and it resembles a mini
i love paintballing is great thing to do to have fun.
Its the og owners of DP.. they sold the company a year ago and they are starting up a new company :)
Is it the new empire gun, it kinda looks like the mini (see ASA) and mini is being made by empire
its definetly not a DP… just wait
The trigger frame should be smaller, but I still like it.
