I wouldn't consider that much of a tech gap to be applicable at this point. Style-wise, there certainly is much catching up to do! I haven't done hard A-B data comparisons so I can't post any pie charts or graphs. I also cannot say how mod-worthy they are, or how they hold up over months of hard use. However, I will say this:

1. I would absolutely take a Tyrant into battle! It's a sure match for a CycloneShock, although not nearly as handsome. And much more satisfying than the Centurion... sadly.

2. Cycling the bolt on the Snipe is strangely satisfying, much more so than on a Longshot. Interestingly, quite a few people have done the underhand priming mod for Longshot, and I might well look into that down the road.

3. Cycling the lever on a Sentinel takes a serious effort, unlike what I've seen for the roughly equivalent Slingfire on YouTube.

4. I don't own a Brute, the Buzz Bee answer to the Rapidstrike, so I can't comment on that class of blaster. But I would like to investigate next year.

It's now winter, so I won't be able to real performance testing until May or so.
