What is AGD doing in the future?

I like your post but...........

a line of tourney automags or whatever new name they come to bear. Kamikaze isn't a bad name, although I dislike Deathwind because it bears to much resemblance to what plagues paintball's public relations (death, violence, guns).

It's ok to have a gun gun called a kamikazi, but you think deadlywind is to violent? That's an oximoron; it doesn't add up. I think the new name for mags should be something way different then that. Again though, nice post.

I have to back AGD on their stance w/ the tournament/scenario scene. About pretty much turning a blind eye to tourny and embracing scenario with open arms. Why? Pretty simple stereotype that I'm sure people will argue but I believe holds very true in most cases.

Tournament players want their stuff now, and they don't want to pay for it. They'll use your stuff if it's free to them.
Scenario players see your stuff, like your stuff, and they'll say "how much?" while pulling out the wallet.

That right there is the main difference. Multiply those scenario player wallets by oh.... the majority of the paintball community. And you realize what's really keeping the industry as large as it is. Recball/scenario/big game players. Tournament players are the facelifted posterboys for magazines so we look PC to lil' Billy's mom so he can come out and play with us. Not to bash tournament like it's evil, it has it's place and always will. To me can be as fun as any other game, sometimes even a bigger rush when it's a major event I'm playing. Just some people need to realize a few things on where it all stands.

AGD is pulling some of the smartest moves lately that I've seen in a while. And sure it sucks to be doing the "leave the 'mag' name behind" thing but brainwashed people stay that way. People won't change their thought on it, put an AGD sticker on an 03shocker and call it an E-mag and you'll get negative comments from people without them even shooting it. They won't even realize it's a Shocker! They associate that "mag" name with junk/garbage/chop/whatever. However in turn hand them a mag but call it I dunno a "GAM" let them use it, they'll probably be impressed and want one. Though that would be the ultimate irony.

The hAir trigger will be out this year and after the SP deal AGD may introduce a new electro marker down the line. That's all i've heard so far.
