MacDev Droid Paintball Gun

The MacDev Droid is one of the newest paintball guns on the market made in Australia and imported into the US. The droids come in various hot colors such as Dust White, Black Gloss, Red Gloss, Dust Bronze, and Blue Gloss. From our initial inspection of the marker, they resemble several paintball guns like the shocker, proto, dye matrix, and marq.

First playing around with the gun you notice the easy on off switch instead of a push button that other companies are using. Next, you notice the clamping feedneck and innovative air tank on off. When airing up the droid you will notice that it is much quieter than most paintball markers out there. The paint seems to shoot very ball on ball and consistent with fresh batteries. After playing a few games and shooting lots of paint you will notice that this is a pretty efficient gun and you are not needing to fill up the air tank after every game.

Having played all day i would compare the Droid to the efficiency of an ego, the quietness and ball on ball consistency of other spool valve guns like the dye matrix and proto. The stock trigger setup is very nice and so is the board which comes with all the modes you need stock. The eyes never let us down and the cheapo paintballs shot great.


After taking it apart at home we notice the only real downside of the marker which is cleaning and servicing the gun. First you take the back plug out, then you have to unscrew a set screw which holds the bolt in place, then you have to physically push the bolt out with either a wooden dowel or something else that won't damage the inside of your gun.

All in all this is one of the greatest guns we have ever encountered and we expect great things out of them this season. To see the guns in action watch our sponsored Division One team DC Monstars at any of the NPPL events in the 2008 season. This year the DC Monstars will be exclusively be shooting the MacDev Droid Paintball Gun.
