Timeline for AGD's New Idea?

[Head knight of Ni]

Lamby you wouldn't happen to work for SP would you?

I mean you do have A.K.A. spanker with your name.

[lamby]

nope, but I do own a freak kit

The other nickname is an inside joke with my team mates.

I just dont beleive that if AGD makes something it is "quality". They have to to PROVE that it is quality before I buy the "AO herd hype". The E/X mags are a perfect example of how AGD does not ALWAYS make a QUALITY product. I am just stating the facts.

I'm a bit at odds with your thinking here.... I think "proof" is one of the things AGD gives us that none of the other manufacturers do. At least in terms of performance- what other marker manufacturers have done pressure dyno testing, flight dynamics, ballistic tests and the like on their equipment? None of them, as far as I'm aware, and I am willing to bet that if they had done such tests, they would be plastered all over the paintball press in place of the glossy ads showcasing all the expensive milling and colourful anodising.

In terms of proof of quality I think the membership of this forum is testament to that. Have you ever wondered why AO is such a pleasant place to be compared to, say, PbNation? I think it's because AGD attracts the more mature and, dare I say it, discerning player who is willing to put time into research and ask pertinent questions about the performance and design of equipment. I don't think any of the other manufacturers can answer any of those questions except perhaps by waving the latest product brochure in my face. On AO, the head designer himself is on hand to answer them- I can't think of another successful product in the world where this happens. I try and make informed choices with all my paintball gear, but when it comes to markers every time, after extensive research, I end up with AGD products because (in my opinion) there is nothing that really compares in terms of design, function, performance and reliability. I suspect for every "herd type" you mention, there are dozens of others who have performed the same rational process and reached the same conclusions.

You've obviously had problems with your AGD markers and that's a shame. My X-Mag and other AGD markers, and every AGD marker in our team for that matter, have always been fantastic performers.

BIG Picture

To use your mentality on loyality

Really you dont know what that is

There is an apples to oranges thing going on here..

you just think there is

I EXPECT a piece of sporting equipment to ware out

Ya me to, but when I air up my P5 AutoMag that AGD built over a decade ago and it still works with normal maintenance after heavy tourny and practice use I just go HMMMMM

The reason for the long "rant" is because I am sick of the herd mentality here

You should think how that applies before you let it make you sick

I love AO, I like finding out what is going on in the sport. I help people that have problems that I can fix, and get data back that I can use myself.

Well Said........ Is this a heard mentality? Does this make you sick? Its a synergy thing aint it great? By the way it is an AutoMag.Org forum

I just dont beleive that if AGD makes something it is "quality". They have to to PROVE that it is quality before I buy the "AO herd hype".

Theres that herd word again. See cgrieves last post.[good post cgrieves]


Lamby---I'll play any tourny any time any where and will bet big I will get in with a Mag no matter what the rules or how picky the chrono judges want to be.[been there done that] wanna bet?

See the big picture and stay positive.

All I can say is lamby needs a life or to get some action once in a while. You are wound way too tight. Go get laid or go get a life.
