And then there are those of us who can appreciate, own, maintain, and regularly use both (and their blowbacks, and their pumps, and... you get the idea). It's great to see how competitive the industry is, yet there are many friendships among and between owners/empoyees of the different companies.

Tom, do you have friendly relationships with any retailers?

I would hope AGD and PMI get along pretty well, as they're practicaly neighbors (Main offices of the two companies are about 30-60 minutes away from eachother)

Tom and Budd are such good friends , he stayed at Budds house during the Warlords game out here in So.Cal last month, but neither would have there picture taken holding the others gun:p

I was hoping AGD's response would have been more like this...

Wdp- "1776, Rice!! 1776!!!!!!!!"

Wgp- "Remember me, Mr. Orr? Its been 14 years. When you shoot a man, Mr. Orr, you better make sure hes dead..."

Pro-Team - "I dont care for thier products but whoever
created thier Micromag valve was a genius!"

Palmer - "Isnt that the guy who still uses C02??"

Tipmann - "Im still pissed about .60cal paintballs and stripper clips!"



JDub :D

In Pittsburgh IAO "97" AGD factory Team S.O.B's
took 2nd place and proved to all paintballer's
that Tom and Bud are great friend's, by Thanking
Tom for the great marker's to shoot our opponent's
with and by Thanking Bud for giving our opponent's
great marker's to shoot back at us.
Then we had Both Tom and Bud come up on stage,
to recieve they're accolade's. There are pic's
out there somewhere, Ron Fieldhack an AGD tech
took them.

i have talked with aaron at aka, he is an aviation engineer. he knows his stuff as far as pneumatics goes (although he is not much of an electronics person, but nobody's perfect ;) ).

Nerobro: well they know physics.. and their marketing IS scum ;-)
Nerobro: they HAVE NO marketing.

none of their claims strike me as false, there are some that might seem unusuall to some. i think that some cry bs to the term "straighter shots due to lower pressure". tom has poured honey into your ears, and all some will say is paint to barrel match = better accuracy. my current thoughts is that this comes from a snug fit in the barrel (because it does not allow the ball to bobble around). if a paintball does not break in the barrel, can there be such a thing as too tight of a fit? if the low pressure helps you shoot paint with a tighter fit than otherwise possible, giving you a wider range of paint with a snug fit. wouldn't this give you better accuracy with a larger range of sizes in paint? (because of the range of sizes that are a snug fit with the barrel on the gun) and therefore, would the gun not shoot straighter, due to lower pressure?
