i look at the Torque this way. some guns you can swap in and out parts and push what you can, can't or shouldn't do with the gun. like the Mag, like a lot of other guns stemming from the mag(L10 aside), you don't need to upgrade this. there are ergonomics for some, but for the most part, this isn't an ion or a cocker where you can build it without touching a factory part, OR how many guns that are made within the past 2 years really NEED to have parts swapped out for the gun to really work better? this isn't a stock 99 cocker where you needed a spring kit, needed a new valve, bolt, LPR, 4-way, frame, HPR, sear, hammer and just about anything else you can think of. the aftermarket only shops are too few and far between. the money isn't there for development for an unproven gun(no offense Josh), nor should there be.
i look at what major gun manufacturers have done, which has a trickle down effect. they are designing guns that have features that people want and don't need or there isn't any performance upgrades to make the gun any better than stock. new ion?, this or any new gun isn't or doesn't need to be constantly resprung, or messed with to work. i know that the theoretical work from Josh, is spot on. there is are few people smarter than Josh in paintball. the idea of a self adjusting sensor that doesn't need to be checked or adjusted is for those people that want a gun that runs, period. the people that are putting guns out are now doing the work on testing, listening and being smarter about how they get and read the data that the testing has given them. even with CCM, its stock, leave it alone. you couldn't do that with guns 10 years ago.
so new ion?, whether you are trying to figure this out for yourself for a better understanding, or mesmerized by the simplicity and the "outside the box" thinking and can't fathom how this should work. i do not know. i do know that this is ground breaking, evolutionary and probably scary to the giants of gun making in paintball. i can't wait to see a beta gun and to shoot it for myself. i've had a love hate with spools, so this would be the bridge, the neanderthal(or is it cro-magnumman? i forget evolutionary talk, i play paintball, not live in a museum), the uber-gun, the homosuperior, if you will.
