Loyalhanna, PA – November 8, 2006 – The new Smart Parts Epiphany builds on the world-class field-proven performance of the Ion with new features and improved consistency, it is set to take a new intermediate level position in the Smart Parts marker line.
Smart Parts re-wrote the book on entry-level markers when it released the Ion. Never before could players get the blistering performance of a true electro pneumatic while only facing an entry-level price tag. The Epiphany is the next evolutionary step forward for the Ion design concept.
The heart of the Epiphany is a paintball first – an adjustable volume fire chamber. Color-coded inserts are used to alter the amount of gas the Epiphany stores in its fire chamber. This flexibility allows the Epiphany fire chamber volume to be reduced while maintaining full velocity. With a smaller fire chamber, the Epiphany valve can recharge faster, protecting it from shoot-down or undesired velocity fluctuations when the player is shooting at 15 balls per second or more.
Built on the solid foundation of Smart Parts Ion technology, the Epiphany brings new features to the player – features not found in many “high end” markers, let alone those that can come anywhere close to the Epiphany's price tag. The new features include:
· Adjustable volume fire chamber for velocity stability at high rates of fire
· All metal body, feedneck and grip frame construction
· Super-light, fast-acting bolt
· Enhanced solenoid valve
· Super-light magnesium alloy body, grip frame and trigger
· Conical trigger bearing which eliminates side to side trigger slop
· Break-Beam Vision anti-chop technology
· Interchangeable bore barrel – standard
· Ergonomically designed trigger frame built to be walked
· Three point trigger adjustment
· Integrated air rail
· Rail-mounted on/off ASA
· High level of Ion compatibility
The last feature on the list should be one of the most prominent. Many Epiphany assemblies can be interchanged with Ion parts. Epiphany owners can make use of many existing aftermarket accessories and Ion owners can upgrade to Epiphany level performance. Providing continued value to our customers is natural, because we believe that Equipment Counts.
The Epiphany is scheduled for a Christmas season release and will be available from Smart Parts Authorized Dealers everywhere.
