‘09 Alien Released - debuts at Huntington


Introducing the 2009 Independence.

Showing the new guns for the first time this weekend at the USPL in Huntington Beach.

Operating Design:
The Remains is an open bolt, pneumatic ram design, yet it is a design distinct to Alien. Alien places the solenoid on the ram, and then places the ram and solenoid module on the trigger frame. The constant air supply is attached directly to the ram. This “Independent Ram” eliminates the torturous air paths cut into the body and the lengthy additional hoses. The resulting shorter air passages equating to faster cycling times. Having the ram housing outside the gun body gives you a smaller, tighter, lighter marker and one that has a unique and appealing look.”

Alien also utilizes a patent pending “Sweep Valve” and “Sweep Bolt” to minimize turbulence and to cause the air to flow under and around the ball. The resulting “Sweep Trajectory” improves accuracy. The ball is no longer poked out of the gun, rather swept on a rotating expanding pulse of air towards its destination A brief use of the Independence will show its improved trajectory and that it is fast, reliable, comfortable to hold and easy to aim and shoot. By taking a new path Alien is “Light-years Ahead”.
