NEW AGD GUN!!.....kinda :-\

[Deathshadow9k]

this is very good for me to know, i've had lots of people at my work who are wanting to sell their A5's and get a good old classic mag just cuz with a cheap as all hell barrel (like my $12 boomstick) its alot more accurate and cheaper to shoot.

The only thing missing from that ad is a Delorean car and Michael J. Fox. If you get it up to 88 miles per hour do you get to go back to 1996 and win paintball tournaments too?

Josh

ya, its all about trigger speed..

[JaredMeier]

i should have said - don't tread on other peoples preferences.. some people have had to get used to ramping.... others should get used to super-reliable mechs.... lets not trash talk each other. sorry if I am rude.. i mean no disrespect.. I am so drunk right now.

[Lohman446]

I don't think the ad was bad, I rather liked it. A touch retro but I found it to be effective and visually appealing. Hmm, interesting, I am normally pretty good at calling a "good" ad from a "bad". Most are just average I'm surprised as many people have a polar opinion compared to mine - not saying I'm right or wrong, just stating it.

[Recon by Fire]

I plan on getting one so BradAGD can convert it to a pump for me :)

Bwahahaha

While this is a good way to clear extra parts and such, to add more classics to the market may not be a great step for AGD. Then again, what do I know? The price isn't terrible though, especially since it is a NEW mag.

...Your oppinion is about worthless to me anymore anyway josh. I expect you will say just the opposite somewhere else if it suits your need for self importance... but anyway...

Yes its an official release but I dare say it was supposed to be released by AGD not a dealer. Most of them knew last week about it. But... some people just can't keep a secret. And it's using the old classic valve so it can run on CO2. Note some other long lost parts are being remade or reused there. Can you list them? AGD trivia time.

[azzkikr]

ok so its not going to replace the xmag, get over it people. so some of the people here who own 4-5 mags are probably not very intersted. however, it does have a little something to it that i quiet cant put my finger on.


yeah, i too agree with josh a bit on his remarks.

but if its the gun that will get my girlfriend to like and play paintball, there will have to be a new name for the speeds that i'm going to achive in ordering one.

I really dont see whats so different about it. Its a body similar to a minimags, it ahs a classic valve, a single stock trigger.... how is that a "new mag"?

[teufelhunden]

I'm with FSU on this. I also think AGD may go and shoot itself in the foot with the whole Bullet Proof thing.. because there's used Classics with SS bodies for way less than $220 online.. and they're the same valve, so it's bullet proof too.

Another issue, IMO is going with the single trigger frame. How many people actually use a single trigger frame? People are going to look at that like they look at stock 'Cockers.. OK, $220 for the gun, $85 for an I-Frame, $40 for hopper/elbow, and I'm good... err, look, Spyder Imagine package for $175 plus $35 for revvy and I'm going faster..

Classic AIR valve
AM/MM rail
AM/MM CF grip
E-Mag PF HL body
EMag twist-lock barrel

...I think only the foregrip is "new"

[PumpPlayer]

so this is the gun everyone was conspircyizing about in the other thread...(i know conspiricizing is not a word) couldnt htink of a better word.

I think you meant "Conspiring". Though I doubt AGD is at the center of a conspiracy (Could be, however! One day 'mags shall rule the world!).

But think about it: You can get an old bone-stock classic mag for about $150 off eBay. It may or may not come with any upgrades at all and the warranty may or may not be good anymore. OR you could get a brand spakin' new 'mag with a decent barrel, BMX foregrip, decent wraparound grips (those stick ones stink!) and bottom line for a shade over $200. And it looks pretty hot! It's a great deal, in my opinion, and I don't see why they won't sell a decent ammount. Good luck, AGD!

As to how it stacks up against other markers, let's not get into the apples vs. oranges debate. Tippmanns are good at what they do and the SP ion has its own niche. A 'mag is certainly smaller, lighter and tighter than a Tippmann. It's also mechanical vs. the electronic Ion. It's also cheaper. We can debate similarities and differences until we turn blue, but the fact is that different people want different markers and for the people who want a 'mag, this is a great one to get.

As to the fact that it can't be run off CO2 - umm, why not? I ran my classic mag off CO2 for years and never had a problem. Sure HPA is better, but that goes for any marker. Ok, it doesn't work so well below 40*F... but I don't know any marker running on CO2 that really does.

Oh, and I use a single trigger frame. And I also like the AGD crest...

Pretty good! Plus still got the old SS line and the bottle adapter... but thats still being used so I guess that dont' count...

Anyone wonder what bolt they coming with? I assume the old one? Not level 10?

Hmm, prayers do get answered every now and again!

yea thats what i meant.

Unka i was wondering the same thing about the lvl10.The add says nothing about so probably not.If it did come with lvl 10 that would help them sell.
