What will AGD's Factory Teams shoot now?

[USAF-Flyboy with a Mag]

I was just wondering...since the Xmag and Emag are no more, what will AGD Lions and Pride shoot now? I really think they need the speed of the electronic guns to stay competative in the NPPL PSP series of tournaments. Any thoughs? Will AGD continue to field tournament teams in the afore mentioned series?

Thanks

They all own e-class agd markers now... how does agd not making anymore e-markers going to affect that? Doesnt seem like a concern at this point.

Well the point of a factory team is to showcase your products right? Why would you have a team showcasing products that you no longer produce?

Well if you think about it, they are not going to be shooting mech mags... that would not make sense. Just seems you are jumping to a question that has not needed to be asked?

[QUINCYMASSGUY]

good question

This is a good question actually, performance or showcasing currently sold markers?

Yeesh I should cut and paste this...

remember that AGD is slowly developing the new flagship frame for 2005... its not like they are not going to continue to service it after all.

Until the new and improved frame gets released obviously the AGD teams and well everyone else will be shooting the same old emag frames that everyone else is. And once that new and improved frame gets released that is designed for and takes advantage of the existance of the ULT, LVL 10, and the Xvalve im sure you will see it magicly pop up on the teams asap. (that is if they like it... we all know chesters love for his classic RT)

Edweird,
Hey I think they are giving us liberty in Phoenix on Saturday night 27 March...free to grab a beer?

On your post...I think that is probably the most educated response thus far, but we are assuming that AGD does plan on making a new electronic gun for sure. I believe he said it was a possibility, so I didn't want to assume it to be a "for sure" thing.

I think they are just going to play with their current guns until AGD gets the mystery marker into production, ya know?

[edweird]

Flyboy ... sending ya a PM..

i talked to some of teh guys from pride sunday
and they said they would continue to use their e and x mags.
until something better comes out

[edweird]

/cough ... duh

then again im sure AGD could develop a low energy cold fusion paintball railgun and chester would still use his Classic RT... never know with them squirrley kids

Everyone wants to dance on our grave with this but remember its a PAUSE nothing else. As you just saw what happened to AKA maybe its starting to make more sense.

Everyone is doom and gloom AGD, people are just that way. Even if you came up with some new way to fire the gun along with a new air source that no one ever heard of, someone will still whine and gripe that you didn't come up with it sooner.

Heck, kick back, relax a bit, dig up some more dino bones. Paintball will still be the same when you release a new gun.

Just one guys take on things.

Hmmm I think I get it now...

Survival is the greatest form of protest... AKA and AGD can do that WITHOUT selling an electro... Heck without even a paintball division. AKA originally was leads metal products a machine shop...

While smart parts is paying millions to lawyers on thier quest and accruing enormous debt... thier patent is due to expire in a few years... Sponsoring pro teams accruing enormous debt...

Then what...

While smart parts is struggling with pricing to try to pay off intrest when thier patent expires...

It puts AGD and AKA in a position to make a better product for cheaper.

Tom never said he was stopping DEVELOPMENT he said he was stopping PRODUCTION...

[FreakBaller12]

the patent will expire in a few years? I thought you could just renew the patent?

If you can renew it, what will waitign a few years make a difference, they still HAVE to enforce it, right?
