I was reading a thread about how great mags were and how they were the best for the money. I'd agree to a certain extent--they perform very well considering the sub-300 price tag--but a few things are holding stock mags back: the need for level ten and the stock trigger pull. I'm not exaggerating when I say that the stock mag trigger pull is one of the hardest and most difficult triggers I've ever pulled. I find I can fire the intelliframe nearly twice as fast, and I have to say that even the benchmark frame is much nice.
Currently, to get really good performance out of a mag, you need level ten and an intelliframe...personally I'd add a foregrip too for balance, but that's just me. A stock mag may be 250 dollars give or take, but add 120 for the intelliframe and 80 for level ten and the mag is a 450 dollar marker.
I assume new mags will have level ten installed in them, but I honestly believe something needs to be done about the stock frames. It's fine that they're made of carbon fiber and plastic, but the trigger pull is too hard...the extra leverage added by a two finger trigger just makes things so much easier.
Two finger triggers have already been proven to be more popular (it's what most markers come stock with, and the popularity of hinge trigger frames shows that even us cocker users like the smoothness of a two finger trigger). 45 frames are also gaining in popularity tremendously.
I think it's time AGD put a two finger trigger on stock mags similar to the intelliframe in basic design, but made of the same material as the current frames and no built in intellifeeding ability, perhaps with cheaper grips, too. The fact is that double finger 45 grip frames are becoming very popular on other markers, and the intelliframe improves the ROF of stock mags by a tremenous amount. This would still leave the option of upgrading to the buyer so that the intelliframe would continue making money for AGD, but would deliver a far nicer marker for the price...and I can't see how adding a double trigger and extending the trigger guard could be too expensive.
In the age of electros firing 13bps in semi, a marker's trigger pull has become a more and more important factor in the success of a marker. Electro-blowbacks are popping up everywhere (even WGP has one, and they put a hinge on their highest end cocker as well)...showing that the ability to shoot a lot of paint is becoming more important to the customer than being able to shoot paint well.

I finally did it! I've perfected my joke shooting down technique!!! YAY!!! I knew you were kidding but it was my goal to shoot it down with ease... lol
