- Contrast parts will be: Frame, eye cover, Engine, feedneck, trigger, asa, and barrel
- Tadao board
- Includes barrel kit, carrying case
- Retail MSRP: $1500
3 of these will be available for purchase at World Cup, through FirstCall Paintball. We hear one was already sold! Reserve yours by calling BLAST today! 209-293-4440

Sources tell us this gun weighs in at about 1.6 pounds and has an MSRP of $500.00. Beyond that there is not much that we know.

DYE C11 Jersey
As reported in part 1 of our New Paintball Gear Report, DYE is slated to release their 2011 paintball gear this week. This is the first look at the C11 jersey, courtesy of South American paintball team WAY OUT.
DYE Tactical Paintball Marker
PRO Paintball insiders suggest that DYE will be unveiling their new tactical paintball gear at the PSP World Cup. In conjunction with the head to toe camoflauge gear, they will be launching a tactical paintball gun. The marker, code named “REFLEX”, is rumored to be based off the Proto PMR, utilizes a more militaristic body type and includes picatany rail system for all of your lights, optics, and whatever other gadgets you can dream up.

Wow the Ripper is gorgeous!!!
Ripper is huge disappointment
For some reason when I saw the new ripper, I thought of the old “Species” timmy for some reason.
Not happy with the new Ripper.
ripper is beautiful
Looking forward to seeing what happens when Dye go scenario! Ripper looks about how I’d expect :)
the old rippers were sick, and pricey just like this one. I dig them bringgin it back
OG oooh ya. Price is definitely up there.
i hope the dye gun doesnt flop like the drone
Curious what caused the drone to flop? Was it a lack of marketing or a poor product?
Lack of marketing without a doubt. Macdev has never really been known for their marketing like planet eclipse or dye.
wayout jersey looks sick !!! congratulations for a team with a huge heart
Yeah the jersey looks great. Nice to see DYE promoting south american teams!
im not a massive fan, but it looks pretty old school
ripper looks great, but that dye jersey looks AWSOME!! i may pay retail for that.
did anyone else realize that the dye “reflex” seems kinda strange? this was what the old dye private labeled cockers were called. interesting…. o_O
for me i always liked bl markers had almost everyone he ever put out .maybe looks is in the eye of the beholder but the marker speaks performance and always has.
youngblood’s new jersey i would wear if i was 50 years younger LOL . dAVE YOUR BOYS DID A GREAT JOB WITH THAT ONE …
guys wtf? dye jersey is like a swimsuit
That ripper is the ugliest creation ever to be smeared on speedball. Speaking of smear- clean that marker quickly between points, I dare you. 500 of them? Guess they know they won’t sell more than that.
based on that comment im assuming two things one you cant afford it and can only justify not buying cause a lack of funds and two your an ion owner
The ripper shouldn’t be that much harder to clean. The original victory has a window cut-in too. And as for the rest, it just smooth curves. Not like cleaning an old alias or ripper2 after getting shot in the ramsleeve or frontblock….
I agree that this gun is looking good. Well alright looking i have to admit. Buti wish i can get my hands on it. Mainly i love how small the gun is. But size matters in all cases:)
