Why doesn't AGD advertise new products as aggresively as they used to? Back in the mid and late 90's the public new about any new product, now you find out 2 weeks after it came out. What is the problem? The products AGD makes are the best that is why I've used nothing but since 95 but where I'm from everyone shoots impies and cockers, 2 guns I don't really like. Everyone is always amazed at how fast, accurate, and consistent my EMag is. I think the problem is that AGD advertisements in magazines is rare, it is all about timmies, angels, and pretty much anything to do with smart parts, and this is sad because none of of the guns or companies mentioned above have impressed me yet.

You should have smacked the guy. Especially if he runs a shop and said that. Like I said I play around a lot of guys w/ cockers and impies, especially impies. It is pretty funny at the fields in my area, the guys w/ the smart parts guns and cockers are at the fill stations after every other game and they don't even shoot that much. Not only that, their guns are running on anywhere from 150-400psi nowhere near a mags operating pressure. I get more shots out of a 68/45 than they are getting out of 88or 91 45Ks or some 3Ks for that matter. I don't know what some people are thinking when they buy these LP air hogs.Comment

Also none of the other guns on the market do not have the manual override feature. So I do not know why anybody would want some of these other guns. An EMag is an awesome deal b/c it is like an RTP and EMag combined.Comment

an e-mag is a mag with a solenoid to push the sear... thats about it
and one reason AGD doesn't advertise very much is because of their shortage of funds right nowProud Member Of The AO Cesspool Since 08-24-2002Comment

Stores don't carry many 'Mags because they don't sell.
'Mags don't sell that well because AGD doesn't advertise.
AGD has a shortage of funds because they don't sell.
Advertise = Sell more = Stores carry 'Mags = More 'Mags for everyone!Comment

I do agree w/ most of these posts, but doesn't everyone think an awesome company like AGD deserves better than what they are getting right now? They should not have low funding w/ the quality products they sell. I could see having that if they sold crap. All of the products that AGD sells are far from crap. All that I'm trying to say is that a company that has proved the test of time deserves way more recognition than what their getting.Comment

HAha... YOu know why most store dont carry mags? Because they dont break... How are they going to make money off of a gun that they sell, and NEVER have to tech? Look at impulses, EVERY month/week/day/hour something new breaks. That is why most store carry so many Impulse parts. Also, get off of AGD's back about advertising. People are going to do what the "pro's" are doing. It is the cool thing to do. Anyways, mags are the best markers in my opinion and many others'. AGD has the BEST customer service out of any company, be happy with that. They spend their money on making the consumer happy, rather than advertising to make themselves more money.

No, sorry, your mag isn't as efficent as my imp or my cocker, I owned a mag for a while, and it was great except for the efficency factor, mags are gas hogs compared to most other guns.Originally posted by AGDFlash

Taht is a good point Wrathchild. I never really thought of it like that. Your are right though mags hardly break and if they do its usually minor. Either way I still think AGD should advertise more, their products are just to good to not be hot sellers. And Tony3 for the input pressure used to power a mag, they are not gas hogs. AN imp that only gets 500 shots off of a 68/3K while running at 150psi is a gas hog.Comment

I think I would know, I currently own an imp, most of my team uses imps and I just sold my classic rt which i had for 8 months, with my mag I got 650 about, my imp running at 180 gets about 750-800

Tony 3 are the imps you and your team using mostly stock or are they pretty tricked out? Because most of the ones I play around aren't too bad but it seems like they should get more shots at the pressures they are running at.Comment

sure, it would be great for AGD to advertise more and sponsor some pro teams and blah blah blah...
But Grasshopper said it best:
Stores don't carry many 'Mags because they don't sell.
'Mags don't sell that well because AGD doesn't advertise.
AGD has a shortage of funds because they don't sell.
simple enough.
