If you noticed AGD also said that it's gonna revamp the Emag and release in 2k5 hopefully when the SP issue is solved.

But I thought the E/X Mag would no longer be produced? Hello confusion my old friend.

NO, the emag design etc is discontinued. AGD will make a new elecro gun but it wont be out till sometime in 2005. Emag and xmag make up the smaller precentage of agds owners. More people buy agd for a reliable solid mech gun.

edit just reread the thread

Now the bad news, with the current legal situations going on in paintball it is not strategicaly smart for us to invest in a new e-marker at this time. We are going to wait until the dust settles and see who comes out on top before we proceed with a new design.

We will work slowly on a new concept that will eliminate the large battery and charger, incorporate the ULT trigger system and completely new electronics. We don't expect to introduce this marker until 2005 if it makes sense to do so.

I think that quote answers your question...

the E/Xmag are discontinued, but are being REVAMPED or changed, IF the SP thing is settled..

Translation for simpletons... if SP thing is settled, AGD will be making a new electro..

Here is an small portion of Tom's original announcement.

I didn't answer because I am busy doing stuff tonight but I see that its going to cause a big ruckus if I dont.

Here is the short explanation. AGDE has taken a job to run the National Paintball Europe distribution center. They will still distribute our products but making bodies is not high on the list. They are machining the last of the extrusions so there will only be one more batch of about 50 xmags. Some people on the list will not get them, sorry I dont know what to say.

The Emag is going on 4 years old and is due for a complete revamp. We will be selling off the last of them (about 250) and discontinuing that product.

Now the bad news, with the current legal situations going on in paintball it is not strategicaly smart for us to invest in a new e-marker at this time. We are going to wait until the dust settles and see who comes out on top before we proceed with a new design.

The point of all this is that we are making these decisions based on industry influences. Our customers have nothing to do with the products we do or don't develop these days. Think about it.

Now that he says revamp and possibly releasing the next one possibly in 2k5 which is next year. It will not have the same Emag design and what not but they may do another e-marker if they see fit which will most likely no matter what get a title of 2k5 Emag. Which is why I said what I said. They are gonna most likely take the "complaints" of the Emag and try to incorporate it into a "new" E marker.

They are going to make a new electro, just not right now. The emag is old and needs to be revamped, and while they are discontiuing the xmag, they are just going to discontinue the emag while they are at it and avoid smart parts while they can. Once the SP lawsuits drift over they are going to produce a new electro.
