Plus there are a few other companies currently developing or are close to release dates for their drop in engines as well so Tippman will have a ton of competition to deal with.
I just see the drop in style more popular because guys can convert their favorite guns to HPA rather than buying having to buy the Tippman M4. I'm not saying it will be a bad gun I just think they are behind the curve and should of developed a drop in FE rather than an entire gun.
According to the description of the video, this "project x" should be comparable in price to the existing FE, so we can expect around 450$ to 550$, while the Tippman will retail at 399$. At that price I see a market for people who want an air based plateform straight out of the box.
