Introduction By Kilaueakid

Introducing CHIMAERA Defined: 1. A monster of classical myth and commonly represented with a lions head, a goats body and a serpents tail. 2. A horrible or grotesque imaginary creature. 3. A fancy or an imagining. 4. An organism composed of two or more genetically distinct tissues. ..A long, long time ago, in a country far, far, away, a terrible monster, called Chimaera, had made its appearance, and was doing more mischief than could be talked about between now and sunset. According to best accounts, this Chimaera was nearly, if not quite, the ugliest and most poisonous creature, hardest to fight with, and the most difficult to run away from, that ever came out of the earth's inside. She was of divine race, not of men, in the fore part a lion, in the hinder a serpent, and in her middle part a goat, who breathed raging fire, a creature fearful, great, swift footed and strong. Being an earthly monster, I doubt whether it had any wings; but, wings or no, it ran like a goat and a lion, and wriggled along like a serpent, and thus contrived to make about as much speed as all the three together. HISTORY This Chimaera started out as an SFL Emag. Wanting more of a 1 of a kind marker, the SFL (1 in 50 wasnt good enough!) went to the mill for some cosmetic changes. Many of the alterations to the grip-frame and battery pack came from ideas and protos seen on AO from John Sosta, Manike and AGD. The original idea was to be able to carry the marker with all fingers wrapped around the grip, having a possible single trigger option, some finger groves on the battery pack and an overall unique cosmetic change to the body. With all these changes taking place, I figured it was no longer a SFL emag. Well, than what is it? A SFL Too?? Doing some research and discovering the Chimeara, I figured the new name suited the project very well
like a glove, especially the Lion! Here are some design changes and influences in this new beast. -written by Kilaueakid |

-August 2003 to January 2005-
by Zak Vetter (Z-man) I came into the picture in the fall of 2003. I has upgraded my classic RT as far as I could think to take it and was looking for a crowning jewel for my collection. I had signed up on the X-Mag pre order list in March but was lamenting the expected wait for such a marker. By chance I came across the SFL Picture Thread on AO. Right off I realized I liked the milling that ShockTech had done over the X-Mag bodies. Then on page 4-5 I saw the images of Kilaueakid's Chimera SFL (CURSE ME FOR NOT SAVING THOSE WHEN I COULD HAVE!!). "Man, (I thought) that would be the one I would pick up in a heart beat." -written by Zak Vetter |
