ProPB Leak: Mysterious Email
August 10, 2010 in Featured, Front Page, Rumor Reports
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
jrg said on August 11, 2010
barrel = dp without a doubt
Carter McFarland said on August 18, 2010
Looks like a ion/victory/DP FX
I dont like the trigger frame… or the trigger
Markus said on August 16, 2011
ION on steroids?
Phil Tuttle said on August 10, 2010
I was thinking it may be a new mini. Has a lot of similar characteristics.
Jakeyyy said on August 10, 2010
Every time I look at it I think “Dangerous Power.”
Josh said on August 10, 2010
Im willing to bet its the new vangaurd spoolie!!!!
XSVJunkie said on August 10, 2010
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.
liam said on August 12, 2010
i concur! +1
Vanguardex said on August 12, 2010
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.
Federov88 said on August 10, 2010
Mini?
DP?
Vangaurd?
GI Milsim?
Fat Albert said on August 10, 2010
Looking at the back I keep thinking about the Quest.
workit said on August 10, 2010
Looks like a cheap dye gun

Vangaurd Spoolie!!!!!!

Things are getting a bit HOSTILE in here
HOSTILE said on August 10, 2010
new company and new gun, HOSTILE
Beavers said on August 10, 2010
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.
victorypb909 said on August 10, 2010
looks like a new spyder
David said on August 10, 2010
Yeah, it has a lot of the characteristics as a mini would…Empire is my guess.
gasjatt said on August 10, 2010
The Mini 2.0!!!!
It’s about time they did some changes to the Mini.
superman said on August 10, 2010
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.
John said on August 10, 2010
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.
Whhhho? said on August 10, 2010
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.
mailman said on August 10, 2010
looks like a tippmann……………………………………………………………………………………….
The South African said on August 10, 2010
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?
Ant said on August 10, 2010
what ever it is, its beautiful. I’d swap my girlfriend for it.
The South African said on August 10, 2010
I take it she doesn’t follow ptball? Careful, we don’t know which fires faster, but I’d bet she’s more lethal
ChrisB said on August 10, 2010
Looks Like Alien Has Some Big Plans!
SOUP said on August 10, 2010
Its made by Hostile… new company, sweet marker.
julianz said on August 10, 2010
This gun does look very comfortable. Looks like a victory imo, but i have no idea who makes it.
Zombie Afroshot said on August 10, 2010
Hostile Creations. (Hostilecreations.com)
AKA Dangerous Power’s old people, that care about customer service. /End.
bobby tucson said on August 10, 2010
looks like the mini’s barrel
justice said on August 10, 2010
Does look like a smart parts gun
The plot thickens. 
(Hard to tell if it’s plastic or metal imho)
dan said on August 10, 2010
maybe the new luxe?????????????????????
ukxball said on August 10, 2010
the back kinda looks like a Macdev and the front a PMR hmmmmmmmmmm
trevor said on August 10, 2010
it looks like a paintball gun
XKE said on August 10, 2010
That is a rendering, not a photo. I am 100% confident.
ashock said on August 10, 2010
looks comfortable and no idea who makes it
Spitlebug said on August 10, 2010
That is a render…
Pretty sure I know who this is from.
THe Real DEal said on August 10, 2010
Vadim from Infamy was using it, they are sponsored by Hostile. Case Closed.
amossbur said on August 10, 2010
It’s the new Hostile Paintball prototype. Saw a guy on Infamy shooting one as DC Challenge
Ex-Player/Tech CJLOVI NorthEast USA said on August 10, 2010
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!
Someone said on August 11, 2010
I dont know what really is but it looks like a low quality marker to me.But we have to wait…
The South African said on August 11, 2010
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?
ss said on August 11, 2010
ugly~~~
boomhauer said on August 11, 2010
Mini made love to an Ion.
ukxball said on August 12, 2010
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)
Beavers said on August 12, 2010
If you look at his page he already has a spool valve design up. It’s nice but nothing like this.
Beavers said on August 12, 2010

ukxball said on August 12, 2010
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.
likasdfiaugdf said on August 12, 2010
Going off your reasoning it could also be a nano!
konner meyer said on August 13, 2010
it might be a invert mini 2 go look at a mini and compare the grip positioning
PDady said on August 13, 2010
it looks like the invert mini 2 if you ask me
thespawn078 said on August 13, 2010
Whatever it is, I’m saving up for it now!
ukxball said on August 15, 2010
really? it could be the shittist gun ever made!
Jeff said on August 16, 2010
HaHaHaHa
Conscript10001 said on October 8, 2010
By the same token, it could be the greatest marker ever.
Ottam said on August 15, 2010
Valken Proton?
joeym said on August 15, 2010
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.
Jeff said on August 16, 2010
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.
ukxball said on August 16, 2010
HAHAHAHAHA nicely done
07egoman said on August 16, 2010
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?????
BillyBADASS said on August 16, 2010
Looks like it has Chris Cole written all over it!
DUHHHH said on August 16, 2010
ITS A GEO!!!!!!!
DUHHHHHHHHHH

bet its got this in it
Josh said on August 19, 2010
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..
PB_SP][KE said on August 26, 2010
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.
shawn murphy said on August 19, 2010
to me it looks like a droid/clone so i think its coming from macdev but it might also becomeing from smartparts
Cherokee said on August 24, 2010
Its definitely a re buddle from Smart Parts
Nick said on August 25, 2010
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.
cody said on August 25, 2010
its a alien, cuz the feedneck, trigger , and asa nob are the same!!!
Brad said on August 26, 2010
its a dangerous power gat VERY simmilar milling to a dp
Conscript10001 said on October 8, 2010
Similar milling because the guys making it used to work for DP.
Sickrick said on August 30, 2010
go TOMMY go !!!!!!!!!!!!
Jonathan said on September 5, 2010
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.
You IZ whatcha IZ said on September 9, 2010
its a sl8r with a luxe reg/asa and a clone body
Dylan said on September 13, 2010
looks like grips are half an invert logo and it resembles a mini
chris swain said on September 14, 2010
i love paintballing is great thing to do to have fun.
Killah Cam said on September 15, 2010
Its the og owners of DP.. they sold the company a year ago and they are starting up a new company
DuTcHyNaToR said on September 19, 2010
Is it the new empire gun, it kinda looks like the mini (see ASA) and mini is being made by empire
Alex said on September 22, 2010
its definetly not a DP… just wait
George said on August 4, 2011
The trigger frame should be smaller, but I still like it.
