Has anyone received theirs yet as I was on vacation for a week? I'm not sure if it came yet or not. It says they will begin shipping today on their web site. Just checking.

As far as I know you can't anymore. These guns we are waiting on are the last run and were all done by preorder. Now I am sure you might find a few around e-bay once they are shipped out from the ppl who bought a few to turn a profit!

I spoke with them on the phone last week. The are manufactured in China. Hence, they shipped to Asia and Eurpoe directly from the manufacturer. The units for the US are supposed to be on a boat (maybe plane) crossing the pond this week and will ship from their US facility.

Any more updates from good old Act Labs? They haven't updated there web site with anything. Just curious since I am waiting on the gun also. Vibez excuse me if you have already posted your thoughts in another thread but what do you think of the new gun model?

I don't like the new gun. Ok It looks more like a gun than the old model, but it is really lightweight & feels very plasticy. The trigger has a horrible cheap sound to it & I also can't get it to calibrate properly because the screen doesn't go completely white. Its really dull around the edges. The only nice thing about the gun is that the lead is detachable from the VGA box.

I would be interested in hearing if anyone else has problems with the calibration screen not turning completely white. My older act labs gun worked perfect when calibrating.

I'm sorry guys, but the new gun is a real letdown. Get yourselfs a GUNCON2.
