\n\t\tMeet the Prot\u00c3\u00a9g\u00c3\u00a9<\/span> <\/p>\n

The Bob Long Prot\u00c3\u00a9g\u00c3\u00a9 is our entry level Generation 5 Intimidator. We
\nintend for the Prot\u00c3\u00a9g\u00c3\u00a9 to lead a new global standard for marker
\nperformance in its price range. Our Gen 5 Prot\u00c3\u00a9g\u00c3\u00a9 has widened eyes and
\nrocked paintball fields around the world since its recent inception.
\nExpect classic Bob Long styling along with a more simplistic
\nmaintenance regiment than ever before. Pick up a Prot\u00c3\u00a9g\u00c3\u00a9 for a back up
\nmarker and you just might one find it your daily driver. <\/p>\n

\t\tHow it Works<\/span> <\/p>\n

The Prot\u00c3\u00a9g\u00c3\u00a9 firing sequence begins when the trigger is pulled
\nactivating the micro switch. If the break-beam infrared eye system
\nsenses that a paintball is properly staged in the breech, the
\nmotherboard energizes the solenoid coil opening its valve. This volume
\nof air travels through a passage where it terminates against the back
\nface of the ram. The ram is accelerated forward by said volume of air
\npulling the bolt which pushes the staged paintball into firing
\nposition. Once the staged paintball is in firing position the ram
\ncontinues forward even further engaging the poppet shaft. The poppet
\nvalve is forced open. A blast of air rushes from the primary air
\nchamber through the poppet valve housing. This air blast is then
\nredirected through the bolt toward the paintball accelerating the ball
\nto 300 FPS in less than 6 inches of barrel length. During this process
\nthe solenoid coil has already been de-energized redirecting a volume of
\nair through another passage where it terminates against the front face
\nof the ram. Finally this volume of air accelerates the ram backward
\nallowing the poppet valve to close while withdrawing the bolt. Now the
\non-deck paintball will fall into the staged position and the firing
\nsequence may begin again. <\/p>\n

\t\tWhat\u00e2\u0080\u0099s New and Innovative?<\/span> <\/p>\n

No more front mounting block for the Generation 5 Intimidators. The
\ninline regulator receptacle has been combined with the grip frame to
\nfurther simplify this new platform. To keep the marker compact we have
\nincorporated the primary air chamber into the forward grip frame region
\nto create the correct volume needed. The Gen 5 grip frame has shed its
\nclamshell roots to favor a thinner, lighter, less complex design the
\nwidth of a common 9 volt battery. We capped off our grip frame overhaul
\nwith Marq Series compatible motherboard and grip panel mounting points.
\nGone away is the autonomous solenoid where transfer hoses must be
\ncautiously routed to ensure proper function. Gen 5 solenoids are now
\nridged mounted sporting a manifold configuration for ease of
\nmaintenance coupled with enhanced flow characteristics. The Bob Long
\nProt\u00c3\u00a9g\u00c3\u00a9 has a redesigned ram sleeve which doubles as a ridged stop and
\naids in controlling poppet valve open time. Our new slimmer LPR
\nfeatures a new thread less mounting design which more aesthetically
\ncompletes the front end of our Gen 5 models. Each Prot\u00c3\u00a9g\u00c3\u00a9 is equipped
\nwith a simple collet style clamping feed neck for quick tool less
\nhopper swaps. Not only is the Prot\u00c3\u00a9g\u00c3\u00a9 4C eye compatible, but the
\noriginal finger style ball detents have been nixed in favor of the new
\nMarq inspired spring driven linear travel design.<\/p>\n
