This is really sad news. Tom, being an automag owner since 93, I was truly honored to meet you at this year's AO NorCal vs. SoCal event. Thank You and I wish you much success in your next phase of life.

Enjoy your future endeavours Tom. All the best.

Paintball didn't make Tom Kaye, Tom Kaye made Paintball...think I'll make it my new signature.

[autocockertrader]

Me too

[Resurrecti0n]

Plain and Simple




Thank You

Your products got me into this game, and to be honest, your guns are the only ones I will ever shoot again...

Thank you, Tom.

Tom,

I've only met you once, at the ao norcal vs. socal meet a year ago. Nonetheless, thank you for everything you've done for the sport. Sad to see you go, but it had to happen some day. Don't abandon us, and keep us updated on your new career!

[Snap Shooter]

I must now bunker and bonus-ball every two-bit smart parts shooting sellout I have the misfortune of knowing... revenge is a dish best served from the end of an Automag!!!


On your departure Tom, two quotes come to mind....


"No distance of place, or lapse of time can lessen the freindship of those who are thoroughly pursuaded of each others worth." -- Robert Southey

"Character is that which reveals moral purpose, exposing the class of things a man chooses or AVOIDS." -- Aristotle


Thanks for keeping it real.

Look at it this way Tom and AO, Tom finally made the home page over at ForceofNature.com (atleast that I've seen)

As one of 3 mag shooting members of The Knights of Honor i will bid thee a sad farewell.
I let one of my team mates shoot my classic Mag at a game, he fell in love with it, sold his highly upgraded A-5 and bought my classic Mag. that says somthing when some one sells his A-5 for a bone stock classic Mag. Tom you will be missed. I felt honored to meet you at the Toys-for-Tots event in Dalton Ga. Thanks for coming. Thanks for the developing the Mag into what it is today.

Proud and happy owner of my very own FrankenMAG

This is my first post here, saying thank you to Tom- I have only been at one game he was at, a scenario- but I never got to shake his hand...thank you for what you did - IMO out of the founding 4 markers of paintball, AGD has always been THE most stand up and respectfull

[Smileatom88]

Tom, sorry to see you go. We hardly got a chance to get to know you. Especially us newbies to the forum. You have made me a die hard fan of Automags and that I thank you for. Good Luck in all your future endeavors. If your ever in Okinawa look me up.

[MrSumbody]

Okay... take deep breaths. Deeeeep breaths.

I am shocked and saddened. My chest feels tight reading this news. Man! How sad this is. On the other hand, I'm glad I own two of the best produced paintguns the world has ever seen. Thanks to Tom Kaye. This is history you're reading here, boys! When I'm in my 50's I can look back into the past and remember this day as I hold both of my Automags in my hands.

Tom, you did your best. For a few years I've wondered how you managed to pull through with the competition being as stiff as it has been. All of these technological advancements... it's insane!

Has anyone considered making "Long Live TK" shirts?
