    Honestly once this whole SP thing calms down... this is the logical direction I see it going.

    AGD dumping the current lines to build something compleatly diffrent is simply redicilious... as Tk said it would cost more than anyone could justify

    AGD's next logical step in the E/Xmags is a redesign of the boards to allow further upgradability and utility of current technology. For instance the current Emag board was designed to pull a sear from a lvl 7 bolt and push a non ULT on/off pin.

    Yes I know that the ULT wasnt designed for the Emag.. but im under the impression that a redesigned board / solenoid / battery combo would include these emerging items.

    I know that 'cue has expressed that a chip with more memory would be highly desireable and allow much more flexability in programing...

    Also im sure that the addition of the LvL 10 bolt and the ULT could possibly be used to rework the solenoid requirements...

    and since the solenoid could be scaled down... as could the battery. Oh and since that would happen cheaper and more user friendly battery systems could be used. Be it 9 volts or hell even Black and Decker Versapacks... we could say goodbye forever to the proprietary chargers and embrace something more userfriendly (/cough id like some kick back from black and decker if we go with the versapack idea :P) Personally im not a fan of the 9v idea... cause well I give duracell and them other dielectric peddlers to damn much of my cash, and well if I wanted another 9v oldschool egrip id buy a hyperframe. But that isnt what I want... /sigh

    and since were at it... someone can answer the long standing question of its worth staying with the HES or going to something like the optical switch.

    anyhow that is my opinion and well whoever is gonna try and recreate the wheel known as the AGD Emag board ... may the force be with you. cause I wont be (unless ya intergrate the versapack :P)

      Ok first i admit i got so upset i stopped reading just to post....

      But yeah if its so cheap and easy, and any idiot with $1000 can do it why dont you dopes design a new electro? And pay the stupid little licenssing fee from SP which has killed ICD (making them sell out to the PB triumberate Sp, Dye, and National). I mean if you are right you should ahve enough cash left over to buy lunch at the end of the easy day of attaching 'noids to anything that moves on your new super-paint-tommy-gun.

      But yes please, design your own guns for production (this means from the ground up, no hyperframe parts or morlock board) then tell me it was cheap and easy...
      Tom was the last of a now extinct breed, a breed of players who build a community, a breed of owners who gave to the sport never taking more than what they deserved. I hope to see you at the feild again some day....

            To Rope a Dope:

            True, rep goes a long way. Down here not many are fond of mags in their electronic versions. It's sad because if they studied the gun a bit (and thus understand the many advanteges mags have over many markers out there - like beeing simple in it's own design for a start) I bet they'd be more popular down here.

            People here only buy a marker for three reasons:

            1. What pro player uses it?
            2. Is it "pimping"?
            3. Can it be manipulated in order to get a mad ROF?

            Sad IMHO.
