Alarming News

[Polishpickles451]

Today at the field some of my friends said that they heard that AGD is going out of bussiness. I told them NO WAY it can't be but then some other guys came and said they were not surprised. This one kid said that the E-Mag, though a great gun, wasn't selling well at all. Is this true? are there any reasons why AGD sales would be slowing down??
Around my area no AGD markers in site...

HAHAHHAHhahaha! So funny to keep seeing this!

No, AGD is alive and well and strong in the market. AGD is introducing more game changing gear than ever. AGD's "other world" of military and Police contracts is second to no other maker. Heck, even WPD took Tom's original thoughts about frames, and adapted the Z-grip attitude into the IR3 frame (See the John Rice interview on WARPIG).

How this rumor got started and keeps going is beyond me. It's the same reason "Cockers shoot farther and more accurate" than any other gun. :P

We get this all the time. This rumor has been around the block more than a few times, and TRUST ME, next time you hear it LAUGH at them, because they're SO VERY WRONG. AGD would be out of business so many times by now, it's silly. It's a load of, hee hee, Brass Eagle paint, if you know what I mean.

Wow, what a wild play on words. Not only did he not mention anything along those lines... one wouldn't even hold the z-grip the way you hold the space frame.

Break out your sound analyzer boys, we need to strip apart PigTv now!

crap and i just sold all my AGD stock!

[Tactical Neural Implant]

hmmmm funny, I just picked up the latest issue of APG and I see AGD products in pictures throughout the magazine. (Nice article Tom) ask them about that. I have to agree with Spazzed - It's Crap!

[magking1971]

John Rice, on PIG-TV, said that the .45 frame is all wrong for paintball, since it was made to be held at arms length. The IR3 frame lets you arm be in a more natural position to shoot a paintball gun.

This is almost word for word what Tom has always said about the Z-grip.

It's great to see everyone supporting AGD...
that was all reassuring, and yes, I told them about why AGD would be strong. But locally (Central Jersey) three local shops had many mags in stock two years ago, and didn't buy any new stock for 2001 and 2002. I asked around and the shop owners said that mags didn't sell. The truth is that at local tournements I only see one or two mags. NJ is a place where paintball is very popular, and no one lives more then 20 minutes away from a paintball place. And they get a bad rep around here. Hopefully it's just a regional thing - as AGD products are definatly, in my opinion, the best.
Just curious that in my area they are so un-popular. By no means am I saying that AGD is going down, and I hope they NEVER do, I'm just trying to raise this point about what I see around me. It would be great if someone had somekind of report about AGD sales in different areas.

[Trigger_Happy]

THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY THAT WE WILL SEE THE END OF AGD ANYTIME SOON.

On the other hand, has anybody noticed that mags are scarce in tournys? Cockers and Angels dominate. I believe that a mag can whip a cocker, so I see no reason for that, but it IS true. I din't know what it is, but the mag just doesn't appeal to upper level players the way other guns do. Maybe the Lever 10/Better marketing will make a difference, but right now it's not happening.

Of the tourny scene, Automag might as wll be spelled "R-e-s-p-e-c-t-e-d". Everybody knows that Kingmann, Tippmann, and every other low to mid range semi might as well bow down and worship AGD :)

It is clear that there is a gap between the *EDIT* DO not circumvent the cuss filters, re-read the rules. Army whipping that the mag can give other semi-autos and the tourny scene filled with electo markers. The E-mag didn't cut it when it came to Angel vs. E-mag. When players decide to trash thier tippy and get a performer, they are buying what the pros use.

I will probably get slapped upside the head for posting this, but you all know that at least to a certain degree it's all true.

ill be gentle with my blows

emags angels cockers etc blow tippmanns out of the water for one clear reason. tippmann doesnt give a damn about tournament guns. unlike every company(including kingman and be) they market rec player guns not shiny "2 toned graphic annodizing" and the likes because they make quality guns that can be practically run over by a truck and not break for cheap, and they look damn ugly but they can look bad arse if you use em good.

i think the problem is is that people by the stock gun and think because the trigger is heavier than most guns and they chop with it that "this piece of crap is a load of poop!"(lol i just know someone is gunna quote that quote)
