    Level 10 is definitely a step in the right direction, it may not cure all our ills or solve world peace, but if it drasticly reduces the ammount of paint a stock RT breaks, I'm sold. If I can put it on my 1992 68 Automag and it drasticly reduces paint chopping, I'm sold.

    Currently Mags suffer from a bad public reputation of being paint blenders, that's usually the first thing I hear from the less informed or the downright ignorant and biased. Like the Angel Troll said, with the right mods and after market products, you can have a marker that will hardly ever break paint. I see Lvl 10 being one of those "right" mods just like the Warp when it came out. The nice thing about this mod is it's something that can be slapped on *any* AGD marker.

    My Emag with Warp has only broken paint once in it's lifetime, and that was when I loaned it out to a friend who put crappy field paint into it (the paint was too big for the Jacko Infinity barrel). Lvl 10 would have prevented this entirely by not allowing the bolt to crush the ball. I have personally shot over 80 cases of paint through it without a single break. I have alot of confidence in my Emag, Lvl 10 will just add to that.

    It's not hype when you can see it in action, its not hype when you can experience it for yourself, its just plain old reality. Tom has never been one for hype, not now, not ever, its not in his nature, he's all about solid facts and working product.

      Ok well I will wade in here....You knew I would! :)

      Hype? well its only hype if it doesn't work at all...

      So lets see here then what have we got here?

      A mod that appears to restrict chopping reasonable paint to nill. And even unreasonable paint to a low percentage. Hmmmmm... I will surely tell you if it doesn't...

      And a mod that will do it without electronic gadgets that are hard to set and fail when power goes away...hmmmm hype? Well I will surely not plug mine into any power so I am certain if it does not work it will not be due to that like a ACE system would...I'll be sure to tell you!


      An mod that will work equally well on a manual marker as a electonic one? Well now lets see...how many manufacuters have those in a quality gun that can say that one same mod will even do ANYTHING AT ALL on all of them? Ummm....one. AGD.

      So... hype it is then until it proves to make a marked improvement to those who try it. Gotcha! Will Do! and expose the hype here for sure! Count on it!

        you are right in what you are thinking cliffio unfortunately this is AGDs only choice. they found out the bolt speed caused breaks and this is thier solution. I dont htink its hype I think most of the hype is from loyal tk fans more then tom himself. You have got to reduce breaks in mags caused by user or after market error in order for the mag to be an attractive gun because unlike most guns the mag really bites when you do get a break so they need to do as much as they can to stop it. The real test will be if tom stops here or keeps going if lvl 10 works well. The mag has further to go but i enjoy the gun because really its one of the only original guns out there. most others do seem to be modified copies or clones. and I would hat to see it die. the next 2 areas that need work are gas consupmtion and kick/recoil/jump whatever you call it.

          Gas consumption

          I haven't seen enough of a difference between a mag or any other gun when it comes to gas consumption. I've seen all the facts, but in real life as a player there isn't enough difference for it to really matter. Thats why we have fill stations Everyone said the Tippmann guns ate gas too but I couldn't see a diff between it and an illustrator f4, which was supposedly better on gas consumption. What I'm trying to say is it does not have any real significance on a markers performance or on your own, it is hype. I don't understand the kick complaint, I can't see a real problem at all, but that is more of a personal preference. I have alot of respect for AGD, as far as I have seen NO COMPANY HAS TRIED SO HARD TO PLEASE NEW AND OLD CUSTOMERS, most companies just put out a new gun and expect you to buy it and dump the old one. What's amazing is you can take a 10 year old mag and upgrade with little investment to compete in tournaments now, that is unheard of in paintball but AGD has done it, WOW!!!
          GOD BLESS AMERICA!!

            yes, guns chop and break balls, but the world of chopping for mags is over(as soon as Lvl 10 is fully released) Lvl 10 has been tested and it has STOPPED on a ball. when the bolt comes in contact with a ball, it doesn't shoot. ow other guns have yet to do that, so I say AGD is in the lead again in innovations to paintball.......and know that I think about it, AGD I dnt think was ever behind anyone in that category
