its an AGD sweatshirt, that shouldn't count

[zads27]

You should have an online tech class

[Vegeta]

If I had a mag i would have been there (

AGD should start giving away mags to ppl on the street. oh wait thats why Im entering the contest. if I dont win that emag im gonna be outa luck!

The online tech class sounds cool.

Shirt/sweatshirt

hummmm dont think this shirt count's

Tom is a good artist.
Excellent class.
And probably can be done online relatively nicely.

And I think anyone considering an Angel should ask about the 10sec recharge time in the valve.

The shirt counts. A couple of the other AGD folks there were wearing the denim shirts for Tom.

I notice plenty of Dr. Pepper for everyone! Very good!

Well, we now have 50-60 new AGD certified techs.

We got 3 certificates for:

'Emag Theory & Troubleshooting'

'Flatline Construction & Maintenance', and

'Warp Feed Setup & Diagnosis'

We also got to see that gold plated dual Minimag supergun. Though it wasn't working right. Tomorrow one of the guys is gonna work on it and hook it up to an Emag trigger frame. Look out!

Yeah the Class was better than good. Not only did we get Tech Certified but we also got THE POSTER. You know the one with the nice brunette on it holding the 68 Mag saying "Everything You've Dreamed Of..".
I think KayleAGD passed out all there was. So they are GONE FOREVER! And *I* have one
Tom also told us all his secrets. Then showed us the proof to back it up on the infamous Gun Dyno he designed.

Thanks a MILLION Tom

BTW I like the Nascar and Corvette analogy.

*shakes head* Beware, we are not sure of the condition of that superman angel. 10 secconds is a bit.... Well... INSANE. but it was a good compairson to the Rt valve.... I'd like to see what a stabalizer will do... what I'd do for a day or 3 with that dyno. I'ts 3:55 am.. and I'ts only been an hour and 10 mins since I left the company of the last 6 stragglers and tom. Well.. more posts are to come.

Hats off and thanks to Tom and AGD for putting on a great class! Lots of myths debunked, backed up with the research done to prove/disprove what works and what doesn't and why. Some interesting info during breaks too. Could there perhaps be a new trigger idea beginning to form? I was also able to pick up one of the new "superbolts" along with some plastic nubbins and hope to be field testing them soon.

We all learned why 9 volt batteries are just plain inefficient (low relative amperage), what does and does not effect barrel function and why (porting reduces noise - period and diminishes ball acceleration at the point where porting begins), why not to try your own homemade 8 hole mod on your valve (no longer needed as AGD valves now line up so that no greater air throughput is obtained with the 8 hole mod), why not to file your sear (will only negatively effect trigger performance and reliability), what that rattle is when you shake a flatline reg (safety valve to prevent massive air release when front of reg is removed and tank is gassed up), how and where air pressure surrounds a paintball in flight, fact versus fiction with aftermarket parts and tons about existing product function.

The real good news is that several side projects such as R.I.T.E (for law enforcement) have now run their course and AGD is refocusing their emphasis toward recreational paintball products.

The class left me better educated on AGD products and seriously jonesing for one of the SFL e-mags. The company is truly focused on performance, safety, durability and delivering value to their customers.

Folks able to make the Saturday games at Country Club Paintball or Sunday at Fox River Games are going to get a first hand look at the firepower unleashed by warp fed mags aplenty.

From what everyone learned at the tech class there are going to be tons of very informative posts coming up from folks who attended and better advice than ever from many members here on AO.

Thanks again Tom for volunteering the time and expense to hold this weekends events for all of us. Class company, class products, class guy!
