tom has contracted (i get to set my laptop up on the bumper of the agd cougar) with 68 caliber films (me and whoever else i can beg to help...lol) to have a 30 minute turnaround on pics and video anytime an agd sponsored or agd affiliated team plays. so its gonna be as close as you can get without being there.

No, the ULE triggers are not for sale...

Keep checking the pics link, updates are always flowing..

[abaez]

http://www.warpig.com/paintball/technical/training/agdtech03/index.shtml

The ULE trigger assembly was not slated for display or release at the Amateur Open, or available to dealers, but rather was supplied to the students trained in the tech class. AirGun Designs decided to use the techs who were newly and properly trained in the installation and operation of the new valve assembly to serve as its field testers. The company would then move forward with design changes or product release based on the feedback from that group.

[jdev]

<- severely regrets not attending IAO.

those of you who attended the IAO that own nice electros, such as an SFL or an xmag.. (looks at load and dayspring :D) and would love to let me field test their ule trigger, I would be more than happy..

:D :D :P

Damn, go andy!

[Ov3rmind]

I just watched the vid, that was quite a sweet bunker move. I'm just wondering how the guy in the back dorito (on the other team) didn't shoot him. Maybe in a state of panic?

[Surreal]

ocelot, i think you are talking about the 03 SHOCKER. i don't see a nerve anywhere on page 3. also, if you did mistake teh shocker for the nerve, you were also wrong about the new maxflo. that's just a gas thru on that red shocker.

[spantol]

Actually, I believe that's the new Shocker, in red. It's got the Shocker's circular window thing, and lacks an LPR knob.

i just got back from the tourny...the first game was real fun when as i feared my rt valve was too reactive. so i make a mad dash and rigged up my old spyder which made me mad. but then i went to the agd booth they hooked me up with a new fire pin and i was legal and ready to rock. and the mag worked beautifully all day... potatoboy also hooked me up with a black ule and a crome new style cp 1 piece and man is it a hott gun... and looky im on paintball.com

[MrAirgunRT]

Ok, the picture with Mayhem, Keely, and Clare irritates me, becuz I was the first one to get the picture with Keely and Clare, and I get no props???!!! Well Poo on you guys.

[ntn4502]

God that was a great time, had a great team, and we actually won a game!!! Please tell me somebody got some decent video of it? Thanks for letting me be apart of it, I cant wait for next year. Other then that we kept with tradition and drank some beer and carbombs like we do.

and I got a new hybrid body w/ a new palmer reg(thanks to puking bob) for my next project

Oh, and cant forget the paintball babes:D

[oldsoldier]

OMG!!! What a blast!!! Thanks to all my teammates, and my drinking mates, all the AO guys and gals, Tom (of course), blackcell (its grape, I can agree to THAT color), and anyone else I forgot. That was such a fun week! I will have pics up tomorrow...my cam is in my car. Anyway, a 10 hr ride was WELL worth it!!

[Creative Mayhem]

*COUGH* Its not denim.... we have proof :D *COUGH*

I can't thank everyone enough for the great time. My first huge tourney, and I wouldn't have it any other way than to spend it with my AO brethren.

My pics(the few i actually took) will be up sometime tommorrow.

[adam shannon]

mayhem, they let you back in the country that quick...i figured you would have to sit in quarantine for at least a day to make sure no "american" rubbed off on you.

[Albinonewt]

Just got back from IAO last night, after one long a$$ drive. As a quick note, thanx to the guys at pw paintball (http://www.pwpaintball.com) for their help getting home. Their Van and I switched off lead car for close to 2 hours doing anywhere from 80 to 100. They were a riot.

I had a great time at the tourny. It was nice to meet a whole bunch of folks from the forums and to throw forks at waitresses.

My wingman and I got in at 11 on Friday, got drunk as all hell until past 3am, and then rolled out to scenario at 7. We were the two slowest moving guys in the woods for the longest time!

[Albinonewt]

Claire was nice enough to sign a poster for my friend in Jersey who has been threatening to play paintball since Highschool, but never does. She signed it:

"Get your fat *** out there! You know you want to bunker me"

Actually the SARS may just be leftover queesiness from that car bomb. Those go on my list along with tequila.

Thanks to CM (my fav canadian..W!!!!) for my gifts, to magman007 for my hat, to Dayspring for picking us up from the airport and Shannon for dropping us off, to Pride for asking me to play again, to Chester for shooting me in the arse as I was walking off the field, to Wyn for the car bomb (gag!!), to Load for my awesome Airgun sticker, to Kayle for driving us to the field every day, to Jon for being Jon, and ofcourse to Tom for allowing me to attend so many events. :)

I'll be posting up some pics momentarily

correctly made carbomb
poor some jameson's into a shot glass
fill the remainder with bailey's
half a pint of guinness
Must be in a glass pint and glass shot glass(that will fall to the bottom of the pint glass)

How to do a carbomb
take shot glass, hold just inside of pint glass and drop(FOR GOD'S SAKE DON'T POOR IT) into shot glass. Raise arm up quickly and lower quickly (between rasing and lowering, slam contents)
anyone interested in doing a carbomb race, see me at a AO meet.

It was finally got to put a face with a name. Got to meet lots of cool folks.

But with anything good, you have to have to have some bad too.

I missed my flight leaving, getting to the gate 3 minutes to late. I had checked my bags through and after sitting in line for 20 minutes at the security check point (homey wouln't let me go ahead of the lines). With all my clothes on the way home, I was stuck with what I had on, I was stuck like chuck. After a bunch of phone calls, I rented a car and went back to the Sheriton to hang out with the AGD crew. I got to stay with Army and Sara so all was well with a place to sleep.

I finally got home on a 9:20am flight and both the wife and boss are happy.

thanks to everybody and see you soon!

I want to thank all the AOers for providing me with LOTS of memories. It's been the best week I've had in a VERY long time.

Specifically-
EdWeird- for bunkering the JT trailer with the AGD sticker while it was driving away.
Miscue- for being Miscue & keeping me company in the airport when picking up Sarah, Army & Load.
Load- for being scruffy.
Army- for being one of the most powerful AO moderators in existence.
Kayle- for offering me your SFL while my Xmag was being fixed. THANK YOU!
Roman- for being Mr. X & all around good guy. Thanks for the booth babe walk!
Clare- for calling Mayhem a "whore".
Mayhem- for being a crazy Sars carrying Canadian.
Oldsoldier- for being the life of the party.
AFTICA- for having the best game of the week & arm wrestling for the field.
Black Cell guys- it only gets better from here boys!
Pride & Factory Team- congrats guys!

**EDIT**
Here are the rest of my pics-

IAO was a blast!

Thanks Ed (Edweird) for everything, you made IAO possible for me. Nick (Dayspring) and Shannon (SHAZZAM), I appreciate the rides. Thanks Curtis for protecting me from what lurks in the dark streets and alleys. Thank you Clare for being my drinking buddy, and everyone who made sure I drank a lot of water and made it to my hotel okay. :D

AFTICA, you rock! Special thanks to Jeff (LoadSM5) for letting me sub in... and AFTICA for the vote of approval. Had I known about the consequences of discovery, I would not have considered it... but everything went well.

Adam Shannon, it was cool that you let me take photos and film and stuff, that was a lot of fun. I still am surprised by the nerve of that one ref!

It was great to finally put faces to screen names and get to know everyone. With some people, it was an unexpected surprise... until you started talking! "Wow, that's so and so? Oh, yup... must be." :p

I had a lot of fun, and it was a blast hanging out with everyone. Your posts in AO and chatroom conversations do very little to show what crazy people you are!

Hope to see you guys soon, and more than likely at the next IAO.

SARS!

-Brian... aka Miscue (One of the three most powerful moderators on AO)

Wow nice pics clare,load and nick, and the rest... No more please,making me wish i should of went.

[adam shannon]

the best thing about an AO meet for me is im the one behind the camera so my ugly mug never makes AO...lol. although when i jumped out of the bushes and got those poparazzi pics of the air america guys driving their OWNED explorer away i thought they were gonna go sean penn on me...those guys will definately remember my face.

im already looking forward to appologizing to my business partner for blowing work off and going to AO NJ, super 7, and shatnerball(if tom has his way).

miscue, i almost choked when after 3 days of filming up and down the sidelines some ref walks up to you and says we have to stand still once the game starts. Q looks at the guy and casually says " nah, i dont think so, ive got a press pass " then brushes him aside and walks away.

where are the pics of the sticker dashes we did when the semis were leaving sunday???

[AGDJon]

Well, Roman and I Got back to Illinois safely. I just wanted to say that IAO was a super blast for us. I personally wanted to thank Dayspring and everyone in the Aftica room for making that note. It was fricking hilarious.

I also wanted to thank RiotZ-grip for making conversations enjoyable with his loveable New England Accent.

Load for adding the www.automags.org decals on the fender at the event as well as going over last minute touches.

Everyone (Tato boy, Curtis, Clare, Creative, Army, Brad, Kayle, Rob Hoover, Shannon, and everyone else) that helped out working the booth throughout the entire week. Without you guys, AGD would not have been a huge success at this event.

AGD Kids / Factory + Brian Terry for placing in all 3 man, 5 man, and 7 man events. You guys were awesome

AGD Pride for more fond memories. IAO has always been the place to party with these guys at the Sheraton.

How about the guy that gave you the wine?

[oldsoldier]

I was forgotten too!!!
WAAA!!!!

[brian terry]

AGD WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO .agd factory we played our buts off for all you ao people .sorry for the 4th place eveyone .

[Shane-O-Mac]

WELL! what a fun trip it was................
But....i do know the name of the the "shirt ninjas" and i will release those names if a black xmag is not deposited on my doorstep by friday.

seriously though, it was a fun time all week and having a bit of a turf war is just what this industry needs, kept me in tears. it was good to meet many of the AO'ers, and i wished i had hung out with you guys more.

BUT,
the shirts ninjas did get repaid somewhat. what they failed to realise, is that the saran wrapping of the agd car was in itself a retailitory strike to AGDJON directly. it was not directed at AO/AGD whatsoever. So several of the shirt ninjas had to have a "talk" with Mr Dan Colby himself (this guy goes on vacation to alaska to club baby seals). those of you who offered to clean the stickers off, thanks.
SO...........GAME ON!......................GEEKS!...LOL

Those are all on Muzik's camera (which i want so desperately to steal).

IAO rocked! you guys were all great.

Adam, thanks for letting me use your camera...though you might be a little insane for doing so.

The rest of y'all(as I'm at work and should be...working...)

Thank you for being ubercool.

Except for Joel. My arm still hurts, Italian Salad. (kidding! Those were both great shots)

[Blazingace]

:D Not my fault. Sorry for the welts. Stupid "Q" loader Angel. This was one of those trips that I didn't want to end. I couldn't have had a better time if I tired. Well not having RPM07 shot me in the face on a game.:D AO is the best group of guys and girls that I know. I would like to thank everybody for just being AOer's and showig lots of love all around. One thing of note is that the AGD booth was the only one that had a place for it's forum people and fans to sit and chill with the players, techs and the vivacious, wonderful AGD spokesperson Clare. One big shout to the AFTICA guys for the awesome AO game and to Old Soldier for the arm westling match to choose sides. Boo to Load for shooting me out early :p . MAD PROPS to Brad for fixing my X-mag, stupid solenoid plunger, love ya. Can't wait to see most of you guys at the NJAOD3. C-ya there.
