So it looks like a company called Wolverine Airsoft is introducing a HPA, which, from the video, looks like it preforms like a Polarstar. After researching their website (wolverineairsoft.com) it seems they are not selling Daytona guns; their guns use what they call a Single Moving Part system as well as a FCU. It also claims that their only moving part fits into the cylinder compartment of most TM-compatable gearboxes.

Here's the product page: http://wolverineairsoft.com/index.php/products-main/about-the-smp

What do you guys think of this?

Very interesting. In a growing market that is HPA, it is not surprising to see a new company seeking to compete. This can only be good news for availability and perhaps affordability as well. It is also nice to have another American manufacturer of airsoft guns.

I wonder how much this will cost to set up. We'll find out soon enough I guess.

That pic looks pretty small to me, no wider than the advert at the bottom of the page.

I have no idea what's going on, but anyways I wonder if they're releasing their own 'fusion engines' because that looks like a standard AEG gearbox shell right there.

Also (now that I pretty much am looking at this under a microscope lol) I wouldn't be too thrilled about bending the wiring back like that for rear wiring. It looks fragile to me. With a p* I think there's a connector there and I seem to trust those a little more.

Very affordable. I'd like to see some get battle tested by future users and see what they have to say about it.

They should waterproof everything. That way people who don't have electronics in their stock can have some peace of mind about it being in the rails when it's raining/snowing.
