PRESS RELEASE
KEE Action Sports and HATER Paintball Enter into Strategic Alliance
Sewell, NJ, December 1, 2008. KEE Action Sports LLC. KEE Action Sports LLC and HATER Paintball LLC, announce an agreement whereby KEE has become the exclusive, world-wide distributor of all HATER electronic products. The license agreement gives KEE access to the most advanced electronic technology in the paintball industry and provides HATER access to the broadest sales network in the marketplace though KEE.
All HATRED marker boards and SYMBIO wireless loader boards will now be obtained directly through KEE Action Sports. Non-electronic HATER products will continue to be distributed directly through HATER.
Under the new arrangement the combined engineering efforts of KEE and HATER will result in the creation of next generation technologies for paintball electronics. Included in this new product line up will be the new VICI Electronic Platform™, scheduled to release in the coming months, which will bring the most advance electronics to the market.
KEE Action Sports LLC is the worldwide leader in the distribution of paintball sporting goods and the manufacturer and exclusive source for RPS®, Empire®, Invert™, Invert™ MINI™, BT Paintball™, HALO®, EVIL®, and Pure Energy® brand products.
HATER Paintball LLC, based in Kissimmee, Florida, is the industry leader in high-end paintball electronics. HATER similarly is the manufacturer of various other paintball products including the Hater Sauce and Marmalade paintball lubricants, Gun Graffiti barrel bands, and various paintball lifestyle products.
As an early holiday gift, JT Sports has announced that they are lowering the prices of their products. I’m assuming they have decided to do this due to the decline in the economy.
“We recognize that many household budgets are tight this year so we have taken a proactive step to help ease some of the burden for our loyal customers by helping them stretch their dollars this holiday season.”
SPO Gear has developed a loader shell that will fit the majority of the loaders out on the market, the VLocity, VLocity jr., Halo B, Reloader B, and the magna. Supposedly it will also come with two tops, one with a speed feed like design and a the other being a traditional flip lid. SPO gear will be making the shells but Macdev will be the distributors.
Pinokio hoppers have officially been released for public purchasing. There are two noses for the hopper: one that makes the capacity 250paintballs, and the other makes the capacity 400paintballs. Both noses are interchangeable with a push of a button. The pinokio weighs just 1lb with batteries, assuming with the 250 capacity nose. When filled with paint, this loader still weighs less than an empty DXS pulse. The pulse, which is no longer availablle for puchase, is the only loader that is capable of reaching the same feeding rates as the pinokio, 30+ balls per second. The pinokio runs off of two nine volt batteries and that can supposedly last up to 37 cases. Also, the pinokio has a slightly useless yet interesting feature, the motor is able to work while completely submereged in water. I suppose that helps for cleaning purposes.
The pinokio hopper can be yours for the lovely price of $169.00. Colors available are black, smoke, and clear.
