Is the Rainmaker really an electric Vector?
Yes and no. The Rainmaker does use the basic operational design of the Vector, however it improves upon it with electronic timing, and also has other many other advantages, the chief amongst which is interchangeable parts. The Vector had several parts which had to be custom machined for each individual Vector, where all of the Rainmaker’s parts are fully interchangeable. Initially, Brass Eagle representatives stated that the Rainmaker was developed completely “in house”, independent of the Vector. However the Rainmaker patent, which is public record, is filed under the name of Nick Lotacko. Lotacko was the designer of the Vector for Air Power.
