    That is exactly why they are switching, the lack of apeal to tourney players. their buisness isn't growing because the only people that buy their products are the loyals. If you only sell E and X mags to people that owned 68's or RT's then you are losing a lot of customers becuase not all of them can afford to buy an X or an E. On the other hand, with the switch they will not only be gaining a larger customer base by introducing products to people who would otherwise look the other way, but they are also retaining the original loyal group of consumers that they had before the switch. This way they will almost double their consumer group. I'm not trying to bash you or anything but you need to take into account the fact that AGD does what it does for a living, sure they do it also because they love their job, but if they did it for that sole reason, then we would probably see Tom working at the local BurgerWorld making french fries.

    Warthog always reminds me of the game Twisted Metal, I agree that Puma would be cool though. Only problem is that once you use that, there isn't really any other cool sounding cats, Jaguar, Mountain Lion....... Mearcat, Persian, Tabby, it just gets worse and worse as you go on.

      Okay, so you're saying we should name ADG's new marker the "warthog" because it is slow and ugly etc etc. That's totally not the point of their image switching. This has been basically covered already....... but why name a new, hopefully fast, hopefully good looking gun after a fugly plane/animal? I'm not saying I have any awesome names in my bag'o'stuff, but I really don't want to see the ADG line of markers turn into a hype thing. That's not to say that's what I expect out of Tom and his team because I'm extremely satisfied with my mag, but you get my drift...


      Edit: I absolutly do not want the new markers to be named after animals either. What does Air Gun Designs have to do with wildlife....Things like crappy highschool football teams are named after animals. It's too cliche: wildcats, panthers, even pumas....*shudder*
      Z-man - "I would say we are not so much proud as...viscously loyal. Dissing AGD in earshot of AO is like throwing rocks at a bees nest... a big bees nest... with millions of freaking bees that have modded AI software, maneuverability upgrades and rocket launchers."

        You may not care, but good opinions equals more sales, and, outside of AO, mags are considered craptacular by most(even tho we know they're not!).

          ok first scrumpy check what he said the automag sould be labeled the warthog not the new agd gun...secondly who is calling my mag slow you need to check yourself...still yet to see any other marker over 20 bps not on full auto and not shooting into a wall 10 feet away..lastly puma would be a could r&d name but its already taken in the offical world and that gun sucked. as for the real name i say lets see what it can do before we name it.

                  I started with an A-5, and went to an X-Mag immediately after that. Is that a bad thing?

                    I started with the cheapest Pirahna you could get 2 years ago then bought a new emag 6 months after that. Now that was a difference!

                    We may be jumping the gun with naming a product that does not exist yet. Let's see a prototype first....then we can name it.

                    I do feel that keeping up with the time we whould name it something more moders the fowllowing are some suggestions:

                    panther.net
                    panther 9i
                    panther 10.4.2.lmnop

                        nope...Panther by itself does not seem to be trademarked...and it was the name of the prototype that was shelved by AGD way back in the early days of paintball
