    Contest of Ideas (?)

    This is something that's been on my mind for some time, so I figured I would throw it out there.

    There's been a great many advances in our sport since the beginning, but, how many truly technological advances have we had?

    Here's what I consider a leap:

    pump (have to start somewhere)
    bulk Co2 bottles
    bulk hoppers
    semi-autos
    agitated hoppers
    compressed air
    electros
    warp feed
    level 10 bolt (yes I concider this a leap)

    What will the next leap will be?

    I know Tom's against "giving" AGD ideas because it could cause legal issues if they're working on something related to your idea. So, what about a contest of "IDEAS" to get around those issues?

    I think it would be cool if someone from AO came up with the next ground breaking idea for the sport.

        I would add:

        stock feed to gravity feed
        gravity feed to power feed
        autotriggers for pumps
        shop goggles to safe pball goggles
        facemasks
        inflatable bunkers

          I think it's time to add fully automatic and completely automated defense turrets to AGD's line of products. For whoever who saw the Aliens special edition you know what I'm talking about.
          Or better yet, why don't you kill yourself. No, really, die. Drop dead, don't leave a note, in fact burn your house while your little ego is stuck in a bench vice so that you'll also incenerate yourslef and everything you own with it. Because that's all you're worth. You're not even wirh thte time it'll take for the house to burn down, so just kill yourself. You're a waste of space. You are nothing, you always will be nothing. Don't leave a note, you're not worth the ink. - Tyger

            I would say carbon fiber wraped tanks.

            more or less: leagues

            Marketing: this was a really big thing cause it used to be non existent.

            Select fire. still cool but not practical.

            Mega boosters definatley.
