Greatest marker ever...?

[Maggot6]

I was just thinking, if you could take a few paintball companies engineers, lock them in a room with a few pens and pencils a bunch of paper, and a few super computers to make the best marker ever, which companies would you take? Personally, I'd take AGD - AKA and one of the oldtimers, like Glenn Palmer or something.
Edit* - I forgot all about Doc..He'd be in there too, mountain dew and all

[Alpha]

DEadlywind, AGD, and 7-Eleven

[cdacda13]

WDP- Electronics
Bob Long- Milling and body work
AGD- Valve system
AKA- find a way to make it uber low pressure

[wareagle]

agd, aka, and smart parts

[mcdkid]

agd, aka, and smart parts

i think they would kill each other...

[atm743]

i think they would kill each other...
:rofl: :rofl:

ya really

there is no best marker. and i dont think you can make the BEST marker.

[The Action Figure]

dave youngblood, tom kaye, glenn palmer, bud orr, and prolly bob long

[mandatory]

:rofl: :rofl:

ya really

there is no best marker. and i dont think you can make the BEST marker.


well said! I agree. too much personal preferance and opinion to cover everyones wants and desires.

[digitard]

The makers of the PANDORA board for Vikings

AKA (obviously cause I'm a junkee)

AGD for durability and a built in non-electronic anti-chop system

[White_Noise]

AGD(valve), AKA(gas efficiency), TAG(board), Shocktech(milling), Palmer(?), Deadlywind(milling)

[slade]

agd, aka, and smart parts

lets see, you lock them into a room only with pencils and paper... AGD and AKA would murder SP for food :D!

in all honesty, simon and maybe ICD for internals/operation, maybe dye too, TAG for the board, STD for the regs, and deadlywind for the milling.

it also depends what kind of marker is it going to be, what you are going for. there really is no one perfect marker, its not possible.

[master_alexander]

DEadlywind, AGD, and 7-Eleven


why 7 eleven?

im suprised im the only one to catch this...

[slade]

why 7 eleven?

im suprised im the only one to catch this...
pffh, why not? i mean, whats wrong with you? :p

[Webby]

why 7 eleven?

im suprised im the only one to catch this...

7-Eleven would play the most vital part to the process of creating the 'perfect' marker...

Engineers need caffeinated beverages

[WARPED1]

Smart Parts, Bob Long, and DYE.

[Soopa Villain17]

brass eagle , kingman , pmi :p

[NewMagMan21]

would I get verbally raped if I didnt say AGD...lol
Hats off to Warped1 for saying Dye...and I think Soopa Villian is definately headed in the right direction :tard:
I would take... Dye and there you go...
No, DYE, ICD, Smart Parts, and WGP
AGD is great but is not on my list for the perfect gun in the sense that the reason I like these brands is for their type of marker which are somewhat similar in design, speed, and efficiency (there's more but I cant think of it now)...

[slade]

brass eagle , kingman , pmi :p
although theyd need more than paper and pencils... theyd need a phone and a lot of money for all the calls to china and japan :p

[WARPED1]

Not PMI, weren't they just bought by National?

[slade]

Not PMI, weren't they just bought by National?
? no idea, i dont really keep up with info on lower end companies... i never want to shoot a blowback again in my life.

[WenULiVeUdiE]

AKA- Machining
AGD- Design
NPS (Simon)- R&D
Doc- For that custom feel
STD- Reg design

And me- Why me? Because the greatest marker ever is personal preference. I would want them to design a gun around my wants/needs, so I would have to be there, right?

[VFX_Fenix]

Doc, Tom Kaye, Budd Orr, Glen Palmer, STD, Bob Long, Dan Bonebrake, WDP, And we'll toss old Dave "YongBlood" into the mix just for S&G.

I'd wanna be in there too, but more to watch the process than anything else lol.

[Bear_Claw]

Good post LOL.

AGD, Tippmann, CCI

[Alpha]

7-11? Why simple, it would be identical to teh mag. Except with a slurpee dispenser.

[WARPED1]

? no idea, i dont really keep up with info on lower end companies... i never want to shoot a blowback again in my life.
PMI Low end?! EVIL is PMI!!!!!!!!!! :wow:

[minimag03]

why 7 eleven?

im suprised im the only one to catch this...

Because it needs a Big Gulp cup holder on the marker.

[slade]

PMI Low end?! EVIL is PMI!!!!!!!!!! :wow:
point taken... but i was thinking the PMI brand name. i never liked evil guns either anyway though, the omen trigger is just horrible and you cant use a halo, and then the pimp basically has a single finger trigger. when i think of high end guns i never really think of evil, but i guess they definately arent low end. i love their pants though :D.

were they really bought by NPS though?

[WenULiVeUdiE]

were they really bought by NPS though?

No.

[master_alexander]

or it might chop every shot and come out like a slurpee :D

[lather]

Mike Cassidy, Earon Carter, Glen Palmer and Colin Thompson

[Teamslayer76]

Not Big Gulp, double Gulp. j/k

AGD-Valve,anti-chop eyes and mech systems.
Shocktech-Milling

Thats it.

[Maggot6]

Mike Cassidy, Earon Carter, Glen Palmer and Colin Thompson
So that is, CCI, ???, Palmers Pursuit Shop, and I am guessing colin is deadlywind?

[slade]

I am guessing colin is deadlywind?
that would be colin moritz.

[Aliens-8-MyDad]

oh well I dont care who is on the super gun team, Ill just be waiting when warped sports makes a dark version of it. then it will be the sickest gun ever.

[Rembrandt]

Well this is my personal opinion.

I've tried every gun on the market and the Eclipse Ego is by far teh best gun on the market. Small, Light, Fast, everything you need, its perfect for a front or back player, even a scenario player.

The Ion is the best lowend to hit the market. It helped low end guns compete with high end guns for less than half the price.

By far though TAG has the best boards hands down.

[MicroMiniMe]

I'm sorry. The Automag valve, while still good, and great for its time (10 years ago) would not have me vote AGD for a 'valve' category.
Try Mel/PBX and the mQ technology.

R&D:Tom Kaye, Simon/Manike, Bill Mills and HaveBlue
Valve:Mel C. Maravilla
Board:Sam 'Goldie' Smock
Machining:CCM or AKAlmp
Advertising/bankroll:Bill Gates (patents, what patents?) :argh:

[Aliens-8-MyDad]

of couse.... wonder why warped sports hasnt made a "dark" version of those yet.

[WARPED1]

They have. It's called a black sharpie! :D

[Athius]

I think the engineers of Macdev already made the perfect marker called the Cyborg. Even though it does need to be milled a litle bit more but who cares that marker is perfect.

[nippinout]

You guys are going about this all wrong.

It doesn't matter what the gun is or how it works.

All you have to do is hype the gun like crazy.

Screw funding R&D, and throw all the cash into marketing.

SUCCESS!!!

And then repeat every few months.

[dann]

Mike Cassidy, Earon Carter, Glen Palmer and Colin Thompson

I agree with this guy. The marker would ooze high quality and perfection.

-Dan

[hockeynoodles020]

Stiffi- body...why not have a carbon fiber body
AGD- X-valve LvL 10...keep those chops from happening
Macdev- Air...2000+shots off a 68/45, there doing somthing right
WDP- 05 90* frame G7 eyes
RPG- milling...look what he does with mags...


light, good on air, never chop...what more could u want? maybe somthing real :D

[FooTemps]

i like how people are saying SP...

HEY PEOPLE. SP bought their designs for their electronic markers... I dont' think that they'd have any good engineers on their side.

no, but they have money and thats all you really need right?

[MadPSIence]

Glen Palmer, Tom Kaye, and the chap that owns Alien.

[68magOwner]

Id get the guys at STD to build me an efficient, low pressure, lighweight, dependable, easy to maintain, stacktubed, ram/hammer opperated, electrophenu. Basically, i want a milled viking missing the 3rd tube.

oh, and then id snag Will and get a tadao M whatever # hes on by then thrown in

[Vwise]

Take any paintball engineers and put them in a room to do R&D. No time limit, cost cutting or marketing and Im sure you'd get an amazing gun; its always one of these which has prevented previous attempts from being "perfect ;) "

so ... Miscue does the anno ????...

[Sheazer]

Macdev- Air...2000+shots off a 68/45, there doing somthing right
D

I'll Take STD for 3000+ shots off a 68/4500

[Cameo]

Knowing very little about PB design I would go for people I have met and trust, Glen & Craig Palmer, and Larry at AKA. Probley throw in Simon cause I am very curious about him, then of course my brother cause he has potential in the engineering dept, just needs some good mentors...
I just think it would neat to watch the process, and of course I would have to be there cause they would get thirsty.. :cheers:

[latches109]

Tom kaye(experience), doc nickle(experience), Lockheed martin (engineering team), bill gates(programming), Intel(electronics), Citigroup (heck, they'll finance anything), some Maxim girls( to tell you how sexy and hot it is), Starbucks, a couple of Celebes, oprah, martha stewart, jeff foxworthy, chris rock, and the pope to bless the son'o biznatch....and George W. too so he can pardon you for cheating, and any patent infringement. :shooting: :eek:

[slade]

[B]bill gates(programming)
:eek: how can you get the blue screen of death on a black and white lcd? heh, id prefer to not have to reboot my marker halfway through a tourney... :(

and WTF is with oprah and *shudder* martha stewart?

[mark_1791]

bill gates(programming), Intel(electronics)
Ok, either Linus Torvalds or Steve Jobs for programming instead, and AMD for electronics :p

As for Oprah, always need someone to add you to thier "book/gun club" . If she put it on her show everyone would buy it.Aand martha is there to clean up after all the messy guys and make a "more functional, workable, up to date, enginnering space..

Yup your right

oprah will eliminate the price problem, she says it's great and all the house wives buy it, and she'll buy one for every member of the audience. Martha...well just like cameo said and is the key note speaker for dos and don'ts on insider trading.


:eek: how can you get the blue screen of death on a black and white lcd? heh, id prefer to not have to reboot my marker halfway through a tourney...

lol...
Blue screen? No problem, he could give you a satellite update via the gprs chip in the gun, that's right, wireless updates; and no need to worry about the TAG.worm or tedao_virus, because your protected with AGD antivirus. What about jeff foxworthy and chris rock??
:confused:

[temps]

[evilhomer]

If I had to pick a "best gun" I'd have to pic the DM4. There's a gun which has been around for a couple years, never breaks, and is the only gun my friend, an avid gunwhore (in 1 month he goes through 3 guns... on average), has ever kept over 1 month of time.

[mr.mag218]

agd, aka, and smart parts
now wait, everyone made fun of that comment. however agd and aka would make the sweetest marker, and while i hate smart parts, their marketing would put the gun in 6 year olds hands in about a week after the release of the gun. and yes AGD and AKA would own any other company if they made a marker.

:rolleyes: you sure about that? considering half of AKA left to STD... plus you might as well throw in simon, some engineers from ICD, TAG for the board, etc...

[AUTOTACULAR]

WDP for relaibility and ease.
Tadao for speed.
bob long for size of marker.
agd, cuz they rock.
