      Because AGD also stopped producing E-Mags and Xmags because of SP.

            you think SP is gonna let AGD slide by?

            They are about as moral as satan.

            Tom already announced that due to the current legal situation that There are about 300 e-mags left and they will not be making any more.
            Did you hear about the new european weapons contracts? France is going to make the wooden sticks Spain making the little white flags

              Guys, I have made it clear to many people around here we are completely revamping our product line. The concept is "out with the old"

              That means all the stainless parts are going as I have said before. The Flatline has been on low production for a long time. We only kept it around because it had interchangable parts with the military gun. It will be fased out too.

              We are trying to ONE, get rid of the Mag name and connotations and TWO, become more focused on fewer products.

              For the near future we will be making:
              Tac-ones
              RTpros
              Warp Feeds
              and lots of accesories.

              Everything else is going.

              AGD

                Yes, it is.

                AGD has neither confirmed or disconfirmed their reasoning to stop making emarkers based on Smart Parts. Their bread and butter has always been mech mags. The emag is aged, the Xmag is too expensive / not very profitable.

                Yeah, he might as well lay low while Smart Parts goes and sues everyone. But is that the reason he stopped making them?

                  NO IT'S NOT
                  tom's already said it about 3 threads, and I really don't feel like digging anymore for you
                  he's not dumping money into research something that he may not be able to make

                  editing:
                  now that I read what you're saying closely, he hasn't come right out and said that the e and X are going out because of SP
                  but he did say that he's not doing anything new electronically because of SP

                    Sorry Wynn, but he also said the opposite in the same post.

                    Everyone is taking posts made by AGD and AGDE that not only contradict each other on basic issues, but also contradict themselves in the same post, and then drawing from it what they WANT to draw. And I think Tom WANTED that.

                    For every time someone quotes Tom as saying he is not doing something concerning electric markers, it is easy to quote him saying the opposite.

                      Totally agree with Wyn. Lets face it guys, the e market is starting to come to an end as we know it. SP will own or own rights to every single electro pb gun made. The e and x mag are both done. AKA is done. It's all a matter of time. I guess when you really want it all, you want it all. The e/xmags are only coming to an end because of the agde body situation and the e becoming outdated, and with SP and there rights bullcrap, it would be an ungodly cost to introduce a new electro into the market.

                          And while he is at it, he should look at all the other reasons Tom and AGDE listed as well.
