Member name kernow is either a big promoter of these or the actual guy that runs them. He is highly reliable so I would say that Uberia is as well.

'runs them'? :spock:
his buddy builds the guns and kern sells 'em. that's it.

i really wonder, why everyone acts as if 'uberia' was a registered trademark ...

Probably more for identification then anything. Rather than Kern and his buddy, they just calls themselves Uberia.

I got my supergun from them and I'm really happy with it, the service was good too. I think they build to order, so you have to allow a little time for building & testing. Kernow is a top bloke, and he took the time to answer all my newbie questions. :D

Actually, they employ over 1,200 people world wide, and are opening a new manufacturing facility in Taiwan in the new year which will take them over 2,000. Kern is the Group Chief Accountant though I think he is doing the Director of Sales and Marketing job just now since their last guy left to head up Cannon’s Sales division.

oh u got it!
nice!

ive heard from many different people that Uberia Superguns are the best, and very giood value for money

ive just ordered a Minigun MKII (infact im still waiting for a reply from Paul himself)
as the Uberguns are out of stock, as the component they need they cant get it from their supplier, they build them "in house" so when u order one, they build it and send it out, they said to me 3 to 10 working days

yeah took about a week and a half for mine but thats because my cheque seemed to take ages to clear!, yeah mines a markII aswell, but with a custom scart connection on it, yo shiwarrior don't bother with neo sticks!, get DC stick instead they are of a higher quality and are also 6-button and cheaper too!, paul will modify them to work with the miniguns for £10!, so u can play cps1/2/3 games!:multi_co:

oh right. Thanks for information mate :)

do they have DC sticks in ? or do i get them elsewhere ?

so how did u ask for that then ? did u say "i need a joysick too" and they said "how about a DC one... etc and a 6 button harness?"

source the stick urself, e-mail paul and ask him to do it, then send it to him and it will come back with a different connector on it, i think they have it on there site www.uberia.co.uk

um the first one i am looking at too, but the price is to high, i wouldn't pay more than £25, since i had one 3 years ago and brand new cost me £35, the second one is some 3rd party thing i wouldn't bother with it, the official DC stick is fantastic i have never had such a good fighting stick, it has a slightly longer stick than the neo 1 and i find it easier to use. granted its a bit 'teletubbies' looking but hey who cares!

yeah, i think it would be better to look in cex or something, i think it would be cheaper, coz some people bid to much for things on e-bay.

yeah but don't just go cex as they might not have them in, there stock changes in seconds, take a look around the net, maybe even www.ravengames.co.uk, try all import or second hand places. even that dodgy shop round the corner!, u never know!

I highly highly recommend buying from Uberia. I bought a minigun from them. They were very helpful answered all emails and the minigun itself was built exceptionally well.

Do they mod the Dreamcast sticks or put a dreamcast port on the supergun so they can be just plugged in? I like the idea of being able to plug my Dreamcast sticks but don't want to hack them as I still use them on my Dreamcast.
