Diaboloman Sniper France checks the Pump Action Silverback TAC-41 project with a test of the prototype. This system, initially conceived as an April Fool's joke, gained significant public interest, prompting Silverback to pursue its development. The prototype, currently composed of 3D-printed parts with metal guidance rods, aims to blend the precision of a sniper rifle with the rapid-firing capability of a pump action, offering a unique playstyle for airsoft enthusiasts.
Diaboloman also discusses the system's ergonomics, noting the need for a more comfortable grip, and its compatibility solely with the "light" TAC-41 stock. He delves into the classification debate this system sparks, questioning whether it remains a sniper rifle, a DMR, or becomes something else entirely. Looking ahead, he plans to rigorously test the system in-game and anticipates that the final product will feature more durable materials like nylon fiber, with an estimated cost of around 70-100 Euros.
