The giant emag battery is an injustice to a great gun design. It's like buying a Lexus and then tearing the hood up so you can put a supercharger on it. How out of place can a battery that big be on a gun that would have had a profile no larger than a pump? You can power a frickin RC car off a battery that size! Not to mention the fact that the battery is somewhat proprietary. I like to be able to buy batteries off the shelf for my devices.
While the ability to fire the gun without batteries is a spiffy idea, I question the practicality of such a feature. If you run out of juice... Have a backup battery ready! In an sport where "athletes" can step onto a field with as much as 2 cases of paint strapped to their backs, I don't think it would KILL these guys to carry a spare battery in their toolbox. This wouldn't be an issue if you could just buy some normal rechargables off the shelf and use them as-is.
I think AGD has something up their sleeves with the ULT and electros. That would be silly of them just to stop here. It would be REALLY REALLY NICE if they made the next big thing a screw-in upgrade to the intelliframe or something. Drop the ability to fire the gun without power, and go completely electro inside the grip frame. If the user wants to go back to mechanical, he can just put the old sear assembly back in or something. I really think this is doable. Unfortunately, I figure AGD's not going to go this route.
As far as batteries... they should have it so you can hook up any external power source... like say your Rev, Warp, Halo, or Evlution. I figure if you have to suffer having a big unwieldy motorized loader on your gun, you might as well take advantage of the situation.
Seriously, if the other half-witted marker manufacturers can figure it out, I'm sure AGD can do it as well. We got the intelliframes, we got the solenoids, we got the lightened trigger pull, we got power in our hoppers, we got the electronics... With the L10 we don't even need an ACE. So how much more prime could the situation be for this to happen?
