Something in their dns/domain provider got fudged up.. I was just looking at their site last week.

Anyway, you can still get there via ip: http://69.89.31.143/~dangero7/dp/ (http://69.89.31.143/%7Edangero7/dp/)

(hooooray for Google cache! :clap:)

So rogue what do you think of their guns? Ever shoot one? How do they compare to high end stuff like ummm a viking?

They shoot good. The Theshold is awsome, one of the smoothest shooting markers I've ever fired. Fusion is pretty good, especially given the price. I've not shot the two new ones but they are virtually identical to the Threshold.

This is not my review...
but taken from a friend of mine who recently got the G3

So take it for what it is...one persons opinion.

Marker Review: Dangerous Power G3 (red)

Period of
Product Use: 2 weeks. Several hundred reballs and half a case of paint.

Paintball
Experience: over 10 years

Similar
Products Used: invert mini, A1 Angel, Tac-one, ULE automag, Bad Boyz Toyz auto cocker, 98 custom

Marker Setup: Stock 08 Dangerous Power G3, Dye ultralite barrel, Empire B2 Loader, low pressure tank.

Recommended
Upgrades: I wasn’t a fan of the stock barrel so I put a ultralite dye on it. I’m not aware of any other upgrades that are out for this marker yet since it is pretty new.


Strengths: Didn’t need to do anything other then adjust the velocity out of the box
extremely light weight (lighter then the mini)
pretty good value for the price ($430 street)
very slim profile
RAPS ASA is really nice.
Manual says it can work on high and low pressure tanks.

Weaknesses: can't change firing modes on the fly.
first one I got had a leak in the solenoid so the shop I ordered it from gave me a different one. That didn’t leave me with a warm and fuzzy feeling.
Also, go out to their website, its total bush league.

Review: I had an opportunity to use my new G3 over the weekend. I have to say that I had absolutely no problems with it at all during the 6 games I played. I didn’t chop one paintball until I was burning of the rest of my paint at the end of the day at the target course. After further examining it looked like my B2 caused the break so I cant fault the G3. I think I need to replace the bats on the B2.

One of the things I really like about this gun is the RAPS ASA. For you guys that don't know what this is its basically a lever you pull on your ASA to degas the gun. Most on/off ASA's you need to screw in or out to gas up/down your gun, this is replaced by a simple lever that you pull up or down on, on the bottom of the ASA. DP has found a way to take a simple task and make it even simpler.

The gun is pretty darn accurate at 100 feet, anything longer and you get your hits and misses. I haven't tried any settings other then Semi, so I can't say how those feel. There is also a little kick when shooting but this could very well be due to its light weight, but im not a mechanical engineer. Nothing too terrible though. Some would call it annoying others would call it a feature, but to turn the gun on you REALLY need to press down hard on the button to get it to turn on. I don't mind so much, I would rather not accidentally turn it off mid game, just trying to point that out.

As far as value for the money, at $430 bucks it is hardly a cheap marker. while I think the marker performs well I don't know if it justifies a $430 price tag. I am using a invert mini as a benchmark and its a 100 bucks cheaper then the G3. I would say the G3 is SLIGHTLY better then the mini. The G3 is lighter then the mini, but by the time you put a tank, hopper and paint on your marker its negligible. The instruction booklet that comes with the G3 is the just about the weakest ever, second only to the AGD Tac-One documentation, but at least AGD gives you a mini CD you can use to troubleshoot, and mags are pretty reliable. Also included in the box are a hand full of orings. By the way, there are only 6 o rings total on this gun, six, that’s it...that is another thing that I consider a bonus. Also included in the box is a barrel sock, and the stock barrel.

Conclusion: I bought this gun to add to my stable of backups. My first call marker is a Angel A1, which completely blows away the G3. Yes the G3 is lighter, but when you hold and shoot an Angel you know you have a serious piece of gear in your hands. You can get the A1's now for under $700 if you can spare about 200-250 more for a gun I would get an A1 or ETEK. If you are looking for a solid mid-priced gun that isn't a Invert Mini then I think a G3 is a good choice. You will also get a lot of looks on the field with this marker, I had a lot of people come up to me asking what kind of gun it was and a lot of people wanted to hold it.

Bottom line, if any of you are in the market for a G3 let me know, you are more then welcome to shoot a few hundred rounds though it to see if it is for you. While not as good as my top end marker I would say it is SLIGHTLY better then the Mini, however the mini has been on the market for over a year, and there are upgrades for it. They have also been able to iron out a lot of the kinks the first batch produced.

On a scale from 1-10 I would give it a 7, with a 10 being my Angel.

Hope this helps
