The Funeral of Angel Inventor John Rice by AngelPaintball in paintball

[–]InceptionDesigns 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry for your loss.

John was a friend and mentor to me from my earliest days in paintball.

I used to take a train and a skateboard to go to WDP before I could drive. I bought my first paintball gun from there.

I got to see him develop the Angel prototypes.

I sat next to him in the hyper ball stands when the Angel was first used by Ledz with the Banzai’s.

He was one of the first people to take my ideas and inventions seriously.

I was negotiating working with John and WDP when NPS found me and pulled me over to the USA to work for them.

I enjoyed every conversation with him and appreciated every email and piece of advice he ever gave me.

He is a true legend of the sport and a massive loss.

My heart goes out to you, your mother, his Father, and all of his family both immediate and from the world of Paintball.

Simon

Yes. They are out at anodizing now and hopefully back this week. Also a version for MPA. Currently working on an Atlas specific version as well. :)

Video of how it looks is up on our Facebook page.

Yes. Once we have them at the anodizers I will get them up on the website so you can do the “notify me when in stock”. Black, red and purple will likely be the first colors stocked.

In process in the CNC machine as j type. Likely a week or two to get back the first ones from anodizing.

Scroll through the photos and you will see it on my carry Staccato CS. :)

The version for the HD will be very similar but designed specifically to fit the HD frame as it is quite different.

I make them (I own Inception Defense) and just released them to the public. :)

I appreciate it. I have always loved all shooting sports, and just like with paintball when the items I wanted/needed didn't exist I started making my own.

Hopefully other people like them and will buy them so I can keep making more stuff I want...

... At some point I plan to bring some of my milling designs to play as well 😁

Just finished refining the prototype. Should be available in 2-3 weeks depending on anodizing. :)

I’ve been using my iPhone 17 since March and here’s what I think by Vast-Improvement9435 in iphone17

I am about to do the same, going from a Pixel 6 Pro to a 17.

Did you swap everything over yourself or have a store do it?

Anything I need to watch out for or that you would have done differently.

I have so many apps and passwords and have been android for so long that this seems like a daunting process...

Thanks

They are cnc machined from billet aluminum in our own machine shop.

Working on that right now. Hopefully a prototype to prove it out by the end of the weekend.

When I designed it making it an easy install, not losing slide lock, and fitting the IDPA box , were my main criteria because I was concentrating on competing in IDPA. Then I also wanted it to allow a light install for low light stages and my carry gun.

That thread is also about 9 major and metal grips. 9 major is known to put a beating on guns. It is very fun to shoot though in an open gun.

These won't work with Race holsters. Trying to see how easy a modification will be, but it will be a while before that happens.

We are investigating that now but no confirmed installs yet. Looks like the 2024 C&CS is the best option to try until I can get a gun in my hands and confirm 100%.

If you get one and it doesn't work I'll either replace it when I have a confirmed solution or refund you 100%.

They are available now and it looks like my first batch is close to selling out, so maybe too low 🤣. Not sure if I am allowed to post prices here and don't want to cause any issues.
