The point is that AGD will no longer be competing directly with Impulses and Timmys and DM4s. Those are tourney markers. AGD has abandoned that market for the larger share of paintballers who play big games and scenarios. Scenario players use Tippmanns more than anything else, and cocker variants. They don't need a marker that is the absolute fastest, or the shiniest or newest. Who could even tell when there are 500-1000 players on the field, anyway? They want a marker that is fast enough and that will work all day through an 8hr or 24hr game. In a big game, 30bps just means more trips back to the parking lot to refill your pods.

Having a gun that is always working is way more important in a tourney then a scenerio. When you are playing a game to get you into the finals and its one on one and you need to shoot their last player and your gun doesn't work, isn't good. When a lot of prizes/money is on the line, you always got to have a working gun.

On the note technology evolution isnt there more to paintball than the marker and loader i mean i think we have about hit a plateu with bps because much more than 30 is just a big waste of paint and not strategically much of an advantage. i would really like to see an evolution in paintballs like say some way of making them.....cheaper .I suppose i also want a tank setup you could get more shots with and on that note the only issue i have with AGD guns as of yet is the lack of efficiency. Anyway thats just the opion of a random white dude named bob

speaking of the gap closing regarding the performance of lower end guns...with e frames low end stacked blowback guns like spyders and piranha's are easily faster than the fastest and most expensive custom cocker (without an eblade or race). I mean, i can shoot my eforce piranha faster than my X-valved mag with ULT (and no bounce). But my mag is still my primary gun, because of the feel and quality of it.
plus it looks awesome............Comment
