So I ask myself, is everyone following US? Hummmm.....

New Shocker looks sort of like a ULE 'Mag. Which one has been in devolpment longer?

Magnetic triggers have been around for awhile.

Last time I checked, WDP beat you to creating a gun with an LED awhile ago Tom. There are many guns out there now with LEDs other then the EMag,....

I am sure everyone borrows small things from each other though... just don't think it's an industry conspiracy...

They say it doesn't chop. Wasn't that a BIG mag myth...that some still think exists? It's beautiful. Wasn't the "tube on a trigger frame ugliness" a mag myth?

You call them myths? LOL, if they were just 'myths' why would we have sluggo/ule bodies, why level 10 if chopping is only a myth, why would we have milled aluminum 'Mags now if 'Mags were not ugly.

I think all of the above were truths, now AGD has fixed some of the original problems...

Tom, you have been light years ahead of pb technology for years, the rest of the pb world is just now realizing your genius, and just now catching up.

I believe the Emag was first to use an LED display. The LED Angel just had a light that was green when it was on, and flickered red when it fired.

Excactly!

Yeah I was flipping through the latest APG and saw the Shocker 03 ad. It does look pretty darn cool (and it does look like a X-mag/SFL Emag).

Some other things I noticed....

The new Aero barrel by Raven advertises that it "pressure guides" balls to the center of the barrel and "Pressure couples" misformed balls so that they shoot straighter. Sounds like magic elf speak to me. I'd like to see a detailed explanation. That was one of the things that was so great when Level 10 came out. You read the description and you could actually understand/believe that it worked...

I know Shocktech is not coming out with a new SFL Emag but I wish they would show the marker in the ads featuring Aftershock. It might generate a grass roots interest in another run of SFLs (those are great looking markers). Personally will be happy with my ULE but you never know...)

AGD has come up with a lot of cool stuff, I just wish they could make as much money off it as everyone else seems to.

AGD shouldn't use cocker threads, we should lead the charge and make them change! The twist lock is so much faster and easier.

Twist lock is finally dead, leave it that way! Cocker threads should be the universal threading.

I think Tippy treads should be the universal threading, but I am too sad to see twist lock go.

Didn't AGD go out of business?

lol how does a 90* frame remind anyone of a Z grip, they are 2 TOTALY different grips.

And no rises have been out since halos were made
