Maybe I have missed something...

...but given the demand for these why isn't AGD doing something about it?

Sure would be nice to see another run of DW bodies hit.....

once again I would like to say that perhaps I may have missed something....

And your point is? He never produced a unique body design. He slaps together 'mags from off-the-shelf parts in pretty colors. If Ao'ers can't get them, send them to Colin and the DW crew.

They didn't want to do my slug, I'm still looking for someone right now. By the time I find someone though I have a feeling my 4 Axis CNC mill will be finished :tard:

Was it? A guy who claims to be a supporter of the community goes and buys all remaining slugs so he can up their price and resell them to the highest bidder? He has no intention of creating a new design for the market, nor does he intend to create something for himself. Meanwhile, you've got lots of folks (mostly kids) who were hoping to just get one so they could get their dream creation made and play happily ever after. No, you're right - Tuna IS cool! :rolleyes: Really, how pathetic is that? I mean, how much does he think he's going to make? A hundred at best? Is he that hard-up? It's like stealing candy from baby.

And no, I'm not bitter. I have a slug, and I had one made into the design I wanted. I just wish more people could have the opportunity to do the same, instead of being gauged by dealer a-holes.

He'll get his in the end, anyway. How many customers do you think there's going to be for new mags in the next year? And after that? Tuna's going to be bagging groceries before the decade's over.

Okay, I was going to let this slide, but now that you slandered Tuna like this I've got to jump in...

Tunaman is the man who got me invovled with paintball. He gave me my first mag. He sent me a classic mag with a cp barrel, paid for shipping himself, and gave me encouragement to play.

You're basically implying that he steals away kid's dreams to sell to the highest bidder. Thing is, kids dream and that's all they do. Realizing dreams is something that is far above the scope of a child's capability and skill. I was nowhere near the financial capability of buying my dream mag and I was not in a good position to buy a cheap marker anyway. My parents hated paintball. Because of Tuna, I was able to play regularly with my own setup.

I'd have to say that he is the opposite of this whole "jerk" idea you are trying to perpetuate. He's the one who fuels people's dreams and helps them on their way. I'm not the only guy he's helped out. Among my years at AO, I've seen at least 3 members get started with contributions from AO members (including Tunaman).

Apparently, you've got tons of AO spirit from this string of posts, jerk

Was it? Ya it was. you have to lower yourself to name calling? A guy who claims to be a supporter of the community goes and buys all remaining slugs so he can up their price and resell them to the highest bidder? He has more support in his little finger nail then you will ever have. He has no intention of creating a new design for the market, nor does he intend to create something for himself. Did you learn that from your crystal ball? No, you're right - Tuna IS cool! First time Ive been right all year and yup he is. Really, how pathetic is that? I mean, how much does he think he's going to make? A hundred at best? Is he that hard-up? It's like stealing candy from baby.
You blew it here. THEN you call him a dealer[Doh] :spit_take You must not have read the First post. Another dealer couldnt or didnt want to move them. I got cash right now to buy retail. I bet he would sell me one for that. Maybe not. Whats the problem? Did you miss the big Grin to. Ya a c-note at best x 4 thats pocket change :cheers:

Really, what are you going to do with the slug? Would love to see the one you had made. [pic] Gauged is a word but I think you ment gouged[slang] :ninja: Its not that hard to post with out breaking the rules, NO NAME CALLING. Ya he"s a DEALER.

He'll get his in the end, anyway. How many customers do you think there's going to be for new mags in the next year? And after that? Tuna's going to be bagging groceries before the decade's over. I dont know how many? No he wont, he's making four large on some slugs. :wow: You are bitter.

I do not care if he overprices them, gives them away, or makes a custom body. He is a smart man to snatch them all up before anyone else in order to re-sell them.

Well of course it's a smart move to do so. If I was running a business I'd do the same exact thing. It's just plain ol business sense.

I wouldnt call that being a jerk, just smart business. And your statement is indiciative of the "AO spirit" Ive seen lately.

If Tuna didnt snatch them up, I likely would have. That's the way capitalism works. Yes, dealers are here to make money.

Tuna just does it will providing a valuable service to AO'ers that few others do. Anyone who thinks that "slapping together off-the-shelf parts" is what he does, or is easy, should try it sometime.

So let's get off this high-horse, and get real. Tuna isnt a philanthropist, he is in it to make money. He cant pay his bills with "AO Spirit".

Well said.

It seems evident that you don't have a clue about what you are talking about. I suggest you stop mumbling before you embarrass yourself even more. And as for selling Mags next year...well if it is 1/2 as good as this year I'll have enough money to buy ALL the rest of the slugs...and maybe even enough to buy the machinery to make my own. And about the groceries. You are right. I did bag groceries long before you were even a twinkle in your old mans' eye. I was actually considering giving these slugs away. What a shame for you eh? Try thinking before you talk. And if all of us dealers are "A-Holes", what does that make you? Grow up young man. Welcome to the real world. And you were right about one thing.

Tunaman, if you do decide to sell them, I am sure there are plenty of AOers who would be happy to pay whatever price you were looking for. If you decide to give them away, I'm sure there are plenty of AOers who would love one. And Magglerock... you are a complete idiot.

Have a nice day!

Does my intelligence show? Do you really want to compare degrees? Ok. Undergrad, Johns Hopkins University. Double major in political science and international relations. Picked up some Japanese along the way. MBA, Wharton, University of Pennsylvania (the Ivy League one, not the State school). Now you. Let me guess - "school of life blah, blah, blah". Do you ever look in the mirror and just want to end it all? I mean, you scrape together a living by selling children out-dated products for a fringe sport. "Might be able to buy the machinery". Wow! You mean you might be able to scrounge up a couple of thousand and by a CnC? Look out Bill Gates, here comes Tuna!

Really, you were going to give them away for free? Great! Who are you giving them to? Really, I'd like to see you give them away. I don't need one - I already have one. So, please, spread the love and send them off to the other fine members of this atrophied site. Everyone get in line - Tuna's going to give you a slug for free.

What a surprise, degrees that have very little to do with business. If I said something as stupid as you did I think I'd consider demanding my money back from those institutions. Just a thought. :D

Does my intelligence show? Do you really want to compare degrees? Ok. Undergrad, Johns Hopkins University. Double major in political science and international relations. Picked up some Japanese along the way. MBA, Wharton, University of Pennsylvania (the Ivy League one, not the State school). Now you. Let me guess - "school of life blah, blah, blah". Do you ever look in the mirror and just want to end it all? I mean, you scrape together a living by selling children out-dated products for a fringe sport. "Might be able to buy the machinery". Wow! You mean you might be able to scrounge up a couple of thousand and by a CnC? Look out Bill Gates, here comes Tuna!

There is a difference between being book smart and intelligent.

You are lacking in the intelligent department my friend. Bill Gates is a smart man and incredibly intelligent and jumped on the PC bandwagon at the right time. Tunaman might have done the same, 10 years from now, Tunaman could be a name common among paintballers, just like Smart Parts and Brass Eagle and our beloved AGD.

How long did it take Bill Gates company before he really struck it big? I can almost guaruntee it took a few years until the launch of Windows 98, when computers became more common.

Also, I think that he isn't selling these slug bodies to "children". Mainly, because a large portion of AGD users go way back and are old enough to no better, take yourself for example. Secondly, because I don't think "children" even know what the heck a slug body is, or what to do with it.


One last thing before I go, mags are still the fastest gun out, so I don't know how you could say there outdated.... Please search for some Zak Vetter video's before referring to outdated products.

If you knew anything about anything, you would know that a business just doesn't pop out of fricken hole in the ground.

Proud of those little pieces of paper hanging on your office walls? You know, degrees are only pieces of paper, reciepts for going to college. The education you get during your schooling is completely different. I see kids going through college with no purpose or motivation. They learn NOTHING. Degrees are meaningless except for the purpose of boosting ego and looking pretty.

You seem to be really egotistic since you think you're smarter than the rest of us. Well, I'll be the first to admit you're probably smarter than me on a couple levels, but you seem to be an idiot socially. First of all, you go and attack a prominent member of a community for doing something normal. Second, you then go and defend your position further by claiming superiority to others. What gives you the right to be such an ***, did your father not love you as a child? Or maybe you're $500,000 in debt from getting all those degrees? You know, cardboard is much better when you're living on the streets.

Tunaman is only doing this from a business standpoint. You've got the MBA, you should understand why he is doing it. Also, when you give him crap about trying to manufacture his own parts, you are implyig that YOU DON'T WANT HIM TO MAKE SLUGS FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT THEM. Do you have an alterior motive? Maybe you're trying to manufacture slugs secretly to get some side business, become a hero on AO. One day you'd just show up and be like "HAY GAIS I GOT SLUG! 4 SALE 100 BONES!AGGAGGAGG", then we'd praise you right?

Guys guys guys. You're actually believeing that this moron went to Penn and Johns Hopkins. With the way he speaks, he sounds like an ignorant sheep herder. I don't believe for one second that he got into either of these schools. And if he did, someone in admissions slipped up. My god is his sense of the business world naive and pathetic. A degree is not just a slip of paper, you have to work for it most of the time. I look upon people who go through tough universities with a lot of respect.

That's why I worked my butt off to get into a good college instead of just going to some state school. I got full rides to Fordham and Holy Cross, two of the best Jesuit colleges in the country. I'll be going to the latter next fall. With the maturity that this neanderthal shows, I can't see him even getting into SUNY Brockport in NYS lol. Much less Johns Hopkins. If he could get into Johns Hopkins and Wharton at Penn, so could a 12yo pothead from a suburban public school. That's exactly how he's acting. So if he did infact go there... what a waste of the schools' times and his education. A degree means nothing if you don't take anything from it. And since you act like a prepubescant middle schooler, I doubt you possessed the maturity to really grasp any of the education being poured at you in college.

What really counts is character. You have none, and Tuna has plenty. You're just an immature loser and that's probably all you'll ever be. You'll probably waste your whole life wallowing in an abyss of utter mediocrity and juvenile behavior. You're the one who is the most likely to consider ending it all. In fact, I'd start doing some thinking if I were you right now. You've supposedly got these great degress from top notch schools and you still act like a child. Good god man, grow up. You can't ride the rest of your life on two peices of paper without the integrity to back it up. Start working on that budskie.

I am not sure what Tuna's background is, however since you brought your's in to play allow me to kick it around. Lets be completly honest, PS and IR are dam near one in the same and their both BS (as in bullsh**) degrees, no matter the university. Infact I would go as far to say that the vast majority of undergraduate programs in the US are a dam joke. With a few exceptions an undergrad from Havard and one from a cheap state school are little more than boxes that get checked off of a form from HR.

Wharton, great school. I would love to go there, however the vast majority of folks who go there are in thier 30's and thier employer covers 130K tuition. Then again with your statements above I really don't see how you could have come out of the program with such a limited view of buisness. FYI, i just finished up my master's in security and the security certificate program at Wharton leaves something to be desired. Additional FYI, if you were a real badass Wharton's school of Fianace is where the real men go.


That's why I worked my butt off to get into a good college instead of just going to some state school.

I wouldn't talk down to the state school. Keep in mind that price isn't always and indication of where the best education is to had. State schools with compatitive programs are hard to get into becase they have a strong program and are inexpensive. I went to a small state school for my undergrad. Thier environmental science program had approx. 5 graduates a year. We take all the same classes as the pre-vet, pre-med, and chem majors do. Tough program, but in this region the school has a great reputation. Then again, if I had a free ride I would take that over anything, within reason. :rofl:

I agree that you have to work for the degree and that is respectable to get a good degree from a good school. But even if hard work and good character are the norm for earning a degree, there are still those who lack the character and motivation who can still achieve a degree. Those people learn nothing. And from the looks of Magglerock's behavior, he looks like one of those failures.

Right, when morons slip through the cracks it's a terrible shame. It seems like it happens quite frequently in this country what with our humanist outlook on education. Here are the negative effects though. Everyone see what happens when you decide to allow less than average human beings to get a repectable degree that someone else deserves. You get a self-righteous scumbag.


EDIT: Oh, and GT wtf dude lol. I actually do plan on majoring in History and minoring in Poli Sci. It isn't a BS degree. It's actually pretty applicable since I intend to go for my law degree afterwords. It's something that I really like and that I think would help me with my career. It's certainly not an underwater basket weaving degree.

And there is a difference when it comes to many state schools and community colleges. It's like public vs private school. You're usually going to find better structured education at the private school. Most of them (especially Jesuit which is why I picked it) teach students how to think using a broad range of different methods and points of view. American public schools tend to drill various facts into student's memories rather. There are some great state colleges though i do agree. SUNY Geneseo in NYS offers a fantastic education and is very difficult to get into.

BTW, I'm still mad at you for bashing my field of study :mad: :nono:

You're right. I go to a private, Jesuit highschool and I really feel that I get a lot out of it. Sure I see kids who don't deserve to be there. They just have loads of money. But I know that the education I'm gettign is way better and I ignore them. My family doesn't really have a lot of money, but I'm incredibly grateful that I've had this opportunity. Same with college. I worked really hard so that I could go somewhere with that same intellectual atmosphere. Yup, I did see a lot of rich kids at Holy Cross when I visited. But the difference is that they aren't snobs. Everyone there is really into working hard and exploring new areas of intellectual thought. Not that people who go to engineering or science colleges aren't smart, quite the contrary. I just like learning in a more philosophical and intellectual atmosphere that a Jesuit liberal arts college provides. It suits me better personally.

But when someone like this dickhead gets in, it pisses me off. If he can't understand simple business, I don't know how he had the aptitude to get through Wharton.

Yeah, some of them work really hard, but on occasion you run into the snobs.



I think this guy might be lying about Wharton, I mean seriously, ihe seems to think Bill Gates got intant rich, and thinks that Tunaman has no chance of developing either.


Everybody starts off as a small fish in a big ocean, it's the the ones that make the progress and grow that get somewhere. This guy obviously doesn't understand this concept, which makes me question his degree at Wharton.

Thats just it, your BS is a segway into law. It doesnt matter what you get your undergrad when you begin to look for proffesional education, such as law. Now if you were a science guy.....I am taking the LSAT next month, to be perfectly honest I am getting pretty dam tired of full time school and full time work. I am not sure if there will be an adiquit ROI on law school.


teach students how to think using a broad range of different methods and points of view.

Schools dont teach people to think or become marvels of the modern world. With exception to graduate programs. If you really want to be head shoulders above the rest pick a stellar graduate program. The difference bewteen an undergrad program and a graduate program at the same good school is night and day.

I know that you can major in anything and go on to get your law degree. You just need a high GPA. However, I am really interested in politics and history, neither of which can you just sleep through all four years of college. It's BS if you barely pass and get your degree, but not if you put the effort into it.

And that's what I mean. I got that level of education in my high school. We were tought how to go through life applying different methods of thinking and different ideas. I think that's important for kids to know. Calculus class wasn't just about random formulas that I'll never use as a lawyer if that path goes according to plan. But I've learned how to think using critical mathematical analysis of facts. Same with my science courses. I hate science and math, but from both of those classes I've learned how to use the empirical method and I use it in my everyday life or while pondering really deep topics. You just don't seem to get that with a public school education. Most public school teachers don't have their graduate degrees in what they're teaching and they basically focus on getting their kids to pass the state tests. That's what's wrong with the American public school system among a host of other problems. It's a shame, because I know a lot of public schoolers who are bright kids and who could reach a much higher potentional than they are in their present education.

NY state is actually starting to pull funding from public schools and give the money to private institutions to hand out to students who deserve to go there, but can't afford it. Hey, they're starting to think logically. Kids coming out of private schools show higher aptitude in college. So that's where the money should be going.
