      I wish they were hiring. I would love nothing more than to help what I feel is the smartest company in paintball. Mr. Kaye, if I can do anything to help AGD, let me know! Hell, even with smart parts it's still possible to build a mechanical gun with all the features and all the performance.


      edit: Just shoot me a pm. Hell, have your lawyers shoot me a pm first, I'll sign anything as long as I get to work with/for you!

          Oh it's been smeared off a long time ago. But the second I found out that you could unscrew the powertube with the spring, I vowed to be a fanboy.

            He probably thinks about it every once in a while. Or he probably thought about it... I don't see it happening.

              I'm sure he hates seeing it falter. Building something from scratch is a source of great pride, and one would always hope that it would carry on. But what can he do...

                Innovate. The same way he did 2 decades ago. Promote and possibly push for the open source ideas people have here.

                If I had the means to build the ideas people have here to test design theory; I'd do so in a heartbeat.

                I'm not trying to knock down you post but if anyone has the (for lack of a better word here) fortitude to do so it would be TK.

                    Businesses make money. If it costs money to run a business then you are running a charity.

                    Dude at my brick and mortar showed me! The powertube tip can be unscrewed with the main spring! It's flipping sweet!

                        just seems to me to be almost a cop out on toms part. hey, no slag here! i love the guy and i would never use anything but an agd gun. but he has to see whats being done by people like ga devil. yeah, the guys a butthole and maybe a theif, but i had a devilmag. when it worked, it turned heads at castle. people were really coming up to me and saying things like "i had a mag back in the day, i thought they went under". really! i'm 40. in a real dumb move i sold my emag. the devilmag had alot of trouble so i sold it. i wish i did'nt, but i could see ga devil was not the guy i wanted to have to rely on if my gun **** the bed(which it did). and if i had a $ for every one who is gonna make a better electro mag...common tom, you see this...can you at least chime in and say something?

                            Correct. So when is the last time they spent money on developing new product? When was the last update in the prototype lab? Oh mid 2003.

                            About time for new product right? I mean.. its been five years and AGD isnt running a charity. They must have hundreds of thousands of dollars from all the Tac-Ones and other AGD variants flooding the market.

                            Thanks for the economics class pops.

                              the thing that ticks me off is when someone pulls this garbage; we've all seen it, someone jury rigs a mag to shot like the 2nd coming...everyone sez "you should start making guns like that, i'd buy one in a new york minite, here, take my money today!" and then the maker of said frankenstined automag sez " well, it should be ready in...bla, bla, bla". what a load . hey, i know tom must be having fun doing whatever hes doing, and the guys probly in no need of a) money, b) the headach that paintball is today, and c) maybe he just does'nt care anymore. we(the few, the proud, the cumps of the agd family) are very uniqe in that we do stand by our mags, and when i had my devilmag at castle 2 years ago, and it was rippin, i really thought someone got it right. i know, i should'nt even be saying this stuff...i have sold off all my mags, and that was dumb. but i'm a family man. time and money are tight in todays day and age. but spring is in the air, and i want to play again. i just want to di it with a mag.
