This is something that's been on my mind for some time, so I figured I would throw it out there.

There's been a great many advances in our sport since the beginning, but, how many truly technological advances have we had?

Here's what I consider a leap:

pump (have to start somewhere)
bulk Co2 bottles
bulk hoppers
semi-autos
agitated hoppers
compressed air
electros
warp feed
level 10 bolt (yes I concider this a leap)

What will the next leap will be?

I know Tom's against "giving" AGD ideas because it could cause legal issues if they're working on something related to your idea. So, what about a contest of "IDEAS" to get around those issues?

I think it would be cool if someone from AO came up with the next ground breaking idea for the sport.

bolt action to pump

FA (smg60)
spool valve design (nova)
removable barrels (BBT has the first, rennick says)
threaded barrels (yes, theres a difference)
pneumation (palmers, cockers, sovs)
blowforwards (mag, equaliaer, badger)
hoppers
agitated hoppers
force feed hoppers

Pin valves
HPA
4500psi air

I would add:

stock feed to gravity feed
gravity feed to power feed
autotriggers for pumps
shop goggles to safe pball goggles
facemasks
inflatable bunkers

I think it's time to add fully automatic and completely automated defense turrets to AGD's line of products. For whoever who saw the Aliens special edition you know what I'm talking about.

I would say carbon fiber wraped tanks.

more or less: leagues

Marketing: this was a really big thing cause it used to be non existent.

Select fire. still cool but not practical.

Mega boosters definatley.
