This is what happens when you pay 1600 for an overmilled amrker (taken from PBN)

PE has quality and customer service comparable to that of the old AGD. I don't know why people here are so quick to judge.

I mean I love mags, used em for 7 years.. but I know a quality gun when I see one and the ego is quality.

So I switched from AGD to PE and no regrets so far.

I guess there isn't much you can do about fanboys and haters besides ignore them

But at the end of the day, we would rather have someone bend a frame and us be able to say "here you go, lets fix that for you" rather than be looking at replacing a bent body, snapped FRM or In-Line reg or worse looking at some kid who just got all his teeth knocked out because he dove in the snake, spiked the barrel, snapped the tank off the ASA and it punched him in the mouth.

I really dont care about arguing on what is milled too much or less. I will say tho that this is the problem with the world today. If little johny is too stupid to move the marker out of the way when diving then he probably deserves the HPA being shoved in his mouth. And yes I would make a horrible safety manager.

carry on.

i do feel that MANN, i used to work at a field and played with a bunch of guys that played top level tourney ball and were trying to get to that level and i saw them practicing slides, dives, moves, etc etc every weekend and never saw a big injury or damage to guns. these guys need to be practicing with otu guns first. i know there is always an accident that happens but im really surprised these guys can hit this hard to do so much damage the issue needs to be addressed

darwinism was working how dare you go against nature

i checked out that t rail, very nice logical progression over the dove tail rail. very simple and elegant, heck you cant tell its there until you check it out up close which IMHO is a perfect design characteristic

jackwood, thanks for the link to the T-rail, that website is pretty nice. You should stick around here, probably sell a few more markers as you seem to be a great guy

Jackwood please do stick around here, I always blew off the ego because it was an the AGG gun or whatever, but if this company is as great and small as I think it is, I will definatly pick up one...

I also though this company was similar to smart parts..

[Spencer]

I just did a tour of your website and I must say the layout and all the information is the best thing I have ever seen from a paintball website..

From the configurator to the matianence section, its great. Really hard to believe its such a small company.. I love suporting small companies, But usually the small companies aren't that popular.. Thats why I always liked agd macdev aka, the ego or eclipse however is so popular and thats the only thing that turns me off, but I can't say your doing anything wrong..

Why have a marketing department when he apparently has a marketing hat? I want an ego now!

Yeah, i'm pretty much the same, i used to be against PE just because i didn't even know anything about them, i just hated how everyone loved the ego when it didn't seem that there was anything special, they just said it was the end all be all of paintball guns. Now that one of the guys from the company has been talking i see things with a much different point of view, and the only thing i don't like about egos is the same thing i don't like about xmags, they cost too much.

[SR_matt]

i remember when the eclpise cockers were new and man, i wish i had one of those things. 2 guys i worked with shot them and they were such sexy guns. of course the one day the guy was seriously going to sell it for 100 (he was trying to sell it, got fed up with having it around since he had new guns his sponsor gave him and was like "if some one gives me 100 today they can take it) of course i didnt have 100 bucks to my name at that point though.

i didnt give the egos much credit when they came out, in fact i disliked them. more so that eclipse went to the fad of the stacked tube open bolt guns. now i respect them as decent markers. probably wouldnt drop the cash on them but then again i dont like electros and if i were to drop the cash i would personally go with a mini or an old e-cocker that no one messed up (not to sure about the cocker at this point though). but i dont have any issues with the egos and heck they have been turned into a sexy sexy gun now (i especially like the lime green that was on the mantis factory guns, thats what the cocker guy in my anecdote was shooting last i saw him since he was still play for MF)

If people would get over the diving obsession this wouldnt happen...

To avoid things like this, i slide instead, you get into the bunker just as fast, you get as low down, yet your marker is always safe. Sliding feet first just seems like the way to go, you also have more control.

not only that but you get to see whats going on as you come in. heck when you have to go down rapids with out a boat (unfortunate but it happens) you got feet first so thats blatant evidence feet first is safer.

a full out superman dive is never needed, i spent many weekends watching the local tourney guys practice their SM dives and they were very controlled and more of low runs that flowed into horizontal.

well i guess there are a few times if i went head first i wouldnt have gotten shot but at the same time most of those times i didnt have the paint to stay there any way.

a lot of superman dives I see on the paintball field are just belly floppers...the impact competely jars the player and there is no way they could stay focused on the field as its happening. I guess a lot of people that play paintball never played baseball. On a hard dirt baseball field you just kindof lay down head first as your running, you learn quick that dirt is hard lol

I stick with the feet first baseball slide so i can pop right back up and start firing....for baseball I stuck with feet first cause when u hit the bag you can instantly be back up to you feet and take off if theres a bad play....man I miss baseball.

[SR_matt]

ya thats what our locals would practice for hours, they got pretty good about doing it smoothly and getting into their place well... but that only works perfectly on that spot of the field with just that much dew on the grass etc etc while i can base ball slide any where pretty easily

-matt

[pmstc]

really I don't think a superman dive should ever be needed anywhere but snake... Otherwise baseball dives or the dive where you kind of slide on one leg and then use your forward momentum to stand back up..

still, we're talking about throwing around 4500 psi. safety precautions have to be taken. props to PE

I remember when the E-blades for cockers came out and was the upgrade to get. It wasn't unheard of to see Jack Wood trolling the cocker forums for player feedback. It's good to his and PE's level of commitment haven't change after all these years.
