New 2004 Armageddon

[Bolter]

exactly dude. You rip into an AGD/Air America product on an AO forum without you actually having touched looked at or used it. I took offence to this as I am very proud of all the support and help AGD give me continually and I find it hard to appreciate views of someone who cannot qualify the remark they made other than they..

So the shaved down the reg body a bit - so what.

so try it out. If you then find problems with it, then let everyone know.

2 downstream bleed in the on-off how useful is that

I have a feeling there's going to be more than one unsuspecting kids with a secondary reg that won't quite get what the bleed is meant for the first time.

Anyone else find it funny that Air America has a reg built in England?

[Bolter]

not really....why?

Nike don't make trainers or sneakers in America.

[thei3ug]

nike doesn't have "america" in their name.

I just thought it was a funny literalism, not a big deal.

[Bolter]

sorry I didn't mean it like that!! I was just trying to make a point......er.....ok ...what about French Fries made in the states.....ahhhh forget it!!! Damn freedom fries now!!

back to all seriousness, i want to know, if john sosta was involved, what does the design most resemble? I'm not going to make any assumptions here...

John Sosta has been designing stuff for AGD and AA for years. I don't know what you are insinuating, but be a bit careful here.

The new Armageddon (I have one) resembles the original Armageddon but with many enhancements and extra features.

It's on/off bleed system is completely new and revolutionary as far as I am aware. It's similar to a fantastic on/off valve that AGDE and John Bonich came up with many moons ago.

[John Sosta, AGD Europe]

Just to set the record straight ............

Yes it was me that designed the the new features of the latest Armageddon, or the "Abaddon", as Air America U.S. have decided to call it.
1. The Sleeve & ARM Valve are now all aluminum, along with most of the internals, and the weight has been virtually halved.
2. We have left some extra material on the sleeve, to allow for custom C&C versions.
3. The drop forward in the p8ntball.com pic is just for display purposes, there is no drop forward supplied with it.
4. It has an in-built on/off, and a downstream bleed, so that you can bleed any residual gas from your hose & marker, without dumping the gas from the bottle.
5. The ports are 1/8" BSP parallel threads, and allow the mini-gauges, fill nipple & thread adaptor to seal on a "dowty" seal, without the need for loctite. It's not that theres anything wrong with loctite, it just isn't needed with dowty seals. It also means that the gauges & fittings are more recessed than with tapered threads. The thread adaptor, converts the BSP port, to a 1/8" NPT port, so that you can still use your std 1/8" NPT fitting. We provide the adaptor to keep it flexible, so that if you are left or right handed, you can still swap the 2 input & 2 output fittings, to give you your preferred set-up.

John: good to see you finally released this. I can remember you showing off the prototypes you had just got into the shop back in early 2001

Any concerns with the aluminum arm into the bottle over SS at all?

Well, I just received my new abaddon this morning and I must say , tis thing looks even better in real !

I have a tequila fade one that matches my tequilla x-mag perfectly.
And I must say it feels much lighter than the original armageddon.

Now , I 'll just have to screw on the my bottle and gas it up and I 'll let you guys know how it works. but I'm 200% confident in what our agd guys in England have come up with !

I still have to try the on / off key dough , because that part isn't 100% clear to me (can I let the bottle on the sleeve when I let it bleed ? )


just a little question : should I put a little loctite on the treads of the air bottle or not ?


and by the way guys : french fries actually come from belgium ! those who have tasted them know what I mean

yes, you can. but if the armageddon is 4500psi, and the tank is only 3000[psi, you can still only fill to 3000psi
same thing if tank is 4500 and reg is 3000, only can fill to 3000

but yes, it will work. just have a airsmith put it on for you to be safest.
