    Why don't any pro teams use mags?

    It seems like half of the pros use autocockers and the other half uses a combanation of angles, inpulses, intimadators, and a couple other electroes. How come no one uses emags or the knew xmags? Why doesn't AGD bother to sponsor anyone if that is the problem?

    It costs too much. They'd have to dump half their EMag sales or so just to sponsor a team.

      Well why doesn't AGD stop being cheap then? If you think about it they already charge more than most companies for their products. That's why mags aren't very competative unless you get them used like mine

          Their products stand the test. Would you feel good buying a 3 year old autococker?? Hell no, but a 3 yr old mag, no sweat they are just as good as the new ones. AGD makes good products and stands by them. Thats why your used mag is reliable. Just think before you make a bashing post towards AGD.

            Somehow, this doesn't seem tech oriented...

            And yes- AGD doesn't make OVERPRICED items. They make competitively priced items. Think about what you get for the Emag- technically 2 guns in one. And the ReTro Valve? 26 BPS+ without shootdown. Fastest valve in paintball. PERIOD.

            Gee. That sounds worth the price of admission to me.

              very good points. but. like he said, we barely see any 'pros' use them. i think the emag is one of the best markers made. i'm sure a lot would agree.

              which makes me think, if AGD sponsored some more teams. i think they'd get a tons.. tons more custormers. get more money. be able to do more researchs, and make somethign better for us all

                Pro's use what their sponsors give them .. period... unless they're a "superstar" in the world and sometimes make their own rules..lol... AGD is a small company compared to a lot of these other companies which make a multitude of items.

                When AGD has the time/funds to sponsor a pro team and some pro players you will see more AGD markers ....

                It costs a lot of money to sponsor a pro team ...

                  but think about this.. can you actually shoot that fast with a retro valve? i'd rather get 18 bps with shootdown rather than the bps i can shoot with my retro with no shootdown.

                          That makes NO sense. You have the ability to shoot at 26bps+ AND have no shootdown. That 18BPS limit is IN the 26bps limit. AND no shootdown...
