What's next for AGD?

[lew]

RPS does make all of the components for their paint.

RPS and Zap are by far the biggest encapsulaters and make like 90% of paintballs, but there are 5 or 6 others.

agd does make paintballs and they have several machines I think. The paintballs they make are hard plastic, and they sell them to military and law enforcement. I think they sell them under the brand "perfect circle paintballs". look for it on the internet, you will find them.

Dude NELSON paintball Factory is right by me (about an hour away) in KINGSFORD MICHIGAN, and I believe they make RPS there and 32* paintballs there also beside their nelson paint so yeah I believe there is an Encapsulator there...

If you want a 15* ASA order one from Doc. He makes them.

I want to see a black no-rise body that is the same length as my PF body, instead of that angled front end.

While it goes against the ULE concept of "nothing extra" I'd buy an aluminium body cut just like the standard minimag body but with the ULE vertfeed necks in a heartbeat. It will probably never happen though.

ive shot some of the paint from south america(dont ask how i got it)

it was pretty good paint

It was probabally severe. We used to get it fresh from the factory from columbia when i was down in chile. Paint is so amazingly good fresh from the factory, man i cant explain how nice fresh paint like that can shoot.


Also, id like to see agd sell their Perfect circle paintballs, i would pay 80 a case for perfectly round paint, wouldnt you guys? hell, its like garaunteed to breaka s well

Nelson dosn't make RPS. The major encapselators are Nelson, RPS, Accucaps (Zap), and Procaps (Diablo). There are also a number of smaller manufacturers popping up. Point Blank is Robinson Pharma, Severe is rumored to be from a Brazilian Encapsulator, Great American is made in Reno Nevada, TC Paintballs from Florida. I'm sure there are a few others but not many.

How about addressing the mag's air effiency problem?

[magmasta1234]

Does AGD have an electro frame that I could buy for my classic mag? i use the intellifeed right now but something like on the x-mag.

[speedyejl]

I remember hearing talk of AGD Looking into a slap on eframe upgrade. Along the lines of a hyper or boo-yah.

Personally I think some way to increase the mags efficency would be pretty great, but I'm content with everything right now.

Another thing which might be intresting is a warpfeed with an intergrated hopper. Something with the speed of a HALO but hopefully not the weight.

[LaW]

I really dont think efficiency is that much of a problem with the mag...never had been for me

[speedyejl]

Not a problem, a limitation.

A LX Retro will get about 1100shots off a 68/45 (maybe even a little generous)

My Impulse would get 2000easy off a 68/45, Viking= 2500! Cockers also above a case. Even Trixes are getting up there, with some of the new mods up to 1800 off a 68/45!

Personally a 68/45 works fine for me, I dont usually use more than 5pods, but if I did then I would have a problem. A back player with an itchy finger might need a 88/45 which is bigger than most people using.


Where does this excess air go though? In Electros like Angels, Impulses, Bushies, etc I know that the solenoid dumps air and that there is som blow back. In cockers the 3way vents air and blowback. In a mag the only waste of air I see is some blowback, otherwise where does all this wasted air go?
