The winder for this Launcher is most likely the same one as the one from the Right Launcher 2, but it is slot into the Launcher horizontally.

Wow, thanks for the information. It looks quite interesting when you examine it properly. Also, I like the 'Snipe', sounds pretty cool, ha.

Looking forward to this...
Although I am getting Screw Capricorn....
heh.... Cool Silver finish

Any release dates?
Hmmm, I wonder what this will do...
Jan. 14, 2011  12:53 PM
 
Cool! I wonder whats the power increase?

Retarted Light Launcher 2? Me likey.

Sonokong will probably release it with Killer Beafowl Smile

It's probably going to be released on the same day as Screw Capricorne 90MF, considering that it has been placed together with Screw Capricorne under the "This month's new products" section of the official website.

Isn't this just a slightly better light launcher 2? Anyway it looks better than the right launcher 2 to me.

Don't diss the Right Launcher 2. Anybody know if its possible that this will be released with Screw Capricorn as a starter right after the booster?

:V T'was a shame.

It's extremely unlikely that they will, considering that Takara Tomy has never re-released a Booster as a starter before.

Why cant they just mod Beylaunchers? :\
Still wondering how it does, though.

This looks so much better than the Right Launcher 2, I love it already. I don't mind if the power doesn't increase or anything though. [:

Well, they needed a longer handle. Chipz gave me an LL2 and it doesn't fit my hands :"(

Launchergrip says hi.

I wonder why it's called "Snipe". I dont see targeting reticles or anything.

Snipe Launcher? I like the sound of that.
Can't wait for it to come out!

Another, bigger picture :

It looks like the part where the winder is inserted is somehow separated from the rest. Perhaps it can be rotated ? Considering the prongs are on the rest of the launcher though, I do not see what that would do.

If that's the case, this is useful for those who want to keep their launch parallel to the Stadium, but find it uncomfortable to pull perfectly horizontally. When you kneel down as you normally should, the issue I'm describing is more obvious.

This would be such a cool Launcher, haha.

Ah, so they could launch on a 'universal' horizontal level, while having the launcher tilted so it follows the curve of the Beystadium ?

If that part really does rotate, this Launcher could also be used by Left handers who wouldn't really be able to launch with a normal Right Launcher/2.

Oh yeah, of course. I never thought about this, but yeah, it would be a good and logical function for this to have.

I guess we are really just speculating and working on assumptions at this point, but I would be really fascinated to see the interior mechanisms of this if that part could actually be rotated.
Jan. 14, 2011  3:49 PM
 
In my opinion there could be a blocking mechanism to stop the rotating part from being rotated too much. In the description of this item, they considerably mentioned "right users".

I guess it would probably run on gears positioned like this(?):

I thought so, but I'm wondering how it could be rotated then. I'm probably just being dumb with visualising it all, haha.

Wow thats interesting. Thanks Diamond!
