Tom Kaye and the IR3

[wallace9111]

well this is a year old but i bet most people would like to see this in case they didn't. If you play paintball you should know the man holding this ir3. It's tom kaye of AGD. The love of Angels is a great thing.

.... Wouldnt he want to hold an X-mag for advertisment?

[matthepepe]

that goes the same for why does he run an angel forum over at agd?

[crashdan]

hes a promoter for the advancement of the sport... hence him holding the most advanced paintgun... the ir3

[Kriptic]

ahhh good call...IR3 in the hizzy

If I remember correctly the actual reason why he got that is to chop it and drill it up in order to do studies of the effects of operating pressures and chopping or something like that(he did it with a lot of guns)... if you search somewhere on the AO they have a pic of it with holes drilled all over and it covered with wires...

"I am not really going to drill it I just wanted to see everyone freak out!! Snook it just came in tonight.

AGD"

there is the thread read it

then do a search maybe you can still find what you are talking about? I want to see the pics i couldnt find them!

"Tommy got an IR3 Today!!!
All,

Yep, I got mine! Traded a guy four Flatlines for his IR3. He only had it a week. Won't say why, it will just start a flame war.

I like it!! Got to go drill some holes now......

AGD" This is what he said first just to scare people.

I can't find the pic either, I know it wasn't on that same thread, but they also had pics of an extreme emag with sensors wires all over it too... both of the pics were of the guns on gun dynos. I dunno if someone on AO has saved the pics. I'd search more but something is up with my dsl today, it took me 10 minutes to get the reply screen from clicking the button :angry:

[DasBaldDog]

That's not Tom Kaye at all..... It looks more like Tom Selleck :)

I've pondered that myself many a time...:puzzled:

He has an Angel forum on his web site to attract high end gun buyers...us! Then you begin to learn about the X-mag & the new gun bug bites & you add another gun to your collection. (Not replace a gun but add a gun.) He know marketing.

I met Tom at a local shop a couple of years ago about the time that the warp came out. He was real interested in the folks that were shooting Angels. He took time to talk to us about the gun, specificly if we were chopping and where it was happening. I had told him that mine doesn't chop and he had a hard time with that. I told him that the only time that I had chopped was with garbage paint. He was saying that he wanted to "expirement" with angels and other high end electros to see if chopping mainly occured in the breach or barrel. I know that his level 10 bolt is supposed to be the best thing for a mag, and maybe that was what he was working on. Personally I don't like his "wagner power painters".
