Name some major innovations that AGD introduced to the sport

[hostage]

I think it would be some cool triva to bug some of my anti-mag friends. I have heard of AGD doing a lot, though I want the facts and not just rumors.
Thx,

Powerfeed, compressed air, reactive valves, ULT, Level 10, warpfeed, twist lock, magnetic triggers, single tube design....I know there's more...but my mind is a blank right now. But those to name a few.

Invented the powerfeed
Invented HPA tanks for paintball (got the tanks to prove it)

There are more, I just don't remember the thread title.

stating the obvious, the mag, the warp, the ULE trigger, xvalve.

Powerfeed
Compressed air
