AGD and the Paintball market

[Blazingace]

I have heard the things that I wrote about many times since then. If we really think our marker is the best WE need to go out and spread the paint.....er I mean word. Don't suggest that a player get a Tippman or a Spyder as their marker because it is cheaper. My bros shoot and ancient Spyder, a Tippman Sniper( a very cool marker ) and Custon 98 and a JT 4.0. When we go to the field I chrony my Minimag and then spend 30 min. each to get the Spyder and 4.0 chronied right. If the 'Mag is the way to go let everyone know.

When i am in the world cup and NPPL and stuff (cause of corse i will be) I will still use mags. Just to show them, i'd probably use a Classic just to really piss off the people that were using angels and highend cockers.

Even from the begining I never really had much interest in cockers or angels. I've always been happy with how it preformed, I never had any problems with it and have now moved on to a emag. All I can say is AGD makes some great products and with the level 10 upgrades and the Xtreme coming out the mags will begin to appear back into the pics of all magazines and will be taken up by the pros once again.Its only a matter of time.

Matter of fact.. I met a guy in jury duty on monday who was interested in starting to play. I asked him how much money he had to get his equipment.. he said it doesn't matter as long as my gun shoots good, is reliable and hardly ever needs maintainence, I was like... My friend... have I got the gun for you. I informed him of the AGD selection of markers.. he's interested in a Automag68 powerfed hopper left. So I have done what you asked... without being asked. Hopefully ole boy will get one and he can spread the word to all his newb friends

anyone notice a trend here?

We, as proud AGD customers, can be a major influence in AGD's marketing. When you go out and play, show how much you appreciate your mag, because people will take notice. If something goes wrong on your mag (unlikely), remark on how it is rare that you need to fix something on it. Many people don't realize the mag's high ROF abilities, and if anyone mentions that mags are slow, or mags are blenders, rip off a string to show them. You guys are right, a lot of the reactions that people have for mags are solely because they are misinformed, or because they already have their own misconceptions. You can also mention one of the greatest benefits of buying AGD, which is their outstanding customer service. Just be sure not to be cocky or condescending, because this will turn people off. A truly happy customer can be the best testament to a company for a potential customer to see, and as we all know, nearly every one of AGD's customers loves both their gun and the company. We are the 'enlightened' ones, so go out and spread the word. I have recently changed many people's thoughts about mags, and they are beginning to consider a mag as their next purchase. Every satisfied customer can be his/her own marketing tool, bringing in more customers and therefor more marketing tools.

someone said somethin about gettin mags into biger tournies, manny francia from aftershock has his pic taken shootin a mag at mardi gras open. even though it is an advertisment for PMI's 5000 psi tank it is showing off what AGD can make and sell. the intelliframe, retro valve, black main body. and it shows that there are upper level tourney players out there who still use mags. It is free advertising for AGD and i think any newb lookin through APG and looks at it will be thinkin about what gun they want to get.

Or.... all of us AO'ers can get really really good and just flood the tourny scene!


Yatta!!!

one more thing

i forgot to mention that my local store is in love with mags they have like nuthin cocker and everything mag. it isp pretty cool

[S14-Racer]

Spider, my local feild is like that too. They have, I think, 5 guns on the wall. One a-5 and the rest are mags, from the rt-pro to the classic. They also have the stockage of spiders but that is without saying. On the wall there are no cocker repair kits but they have "everything" you need for a mag, and the upgrades to boot. It doesnt matter if it is AIR or retro or in an rt frame. The owner also has solely used mags in tourney play for the 4 yrs Ive known him and uses a retro'd hyperframe mag as his main marker with you guessed it, a mag as his back-up.

Ive been out of the game for 3 yrs and had to sell my mini because I had no time or money to play becase of college. I got out of college about a month ago, and my brother got into the game. He had me find him a nice cocker (which I got off of these boards ) even though I suggested a mag. Anyway he got it then about 2 weeks later I got back into the game, and retro mag was all I wanted, so I got one. As much as he likes the cocker he said his next gun will be a mag as well.

All I can say is keep up the good work AGD.
