Time to pump up AGD?

[Wheelman]

Yet once again, It doesn't even need to be built from a mag platform. If AGD can do something completely different I'd give it a chance.

I doubt it would sell. A pump mag is inferior in many ways to a Phantom, from weight to effeciency to the built-in autotrigger. It'd be a "novelty" gun, and those aren't something that usually sells too well.

Put it on a ULE body, ULE rail, and i bet it will be one of the lightest pumps out there.

Doubtful.
A Nelson pump is mostly "not there", meaning empty space sealed in thin aluminum.
I don't think AGD has the inclination toward pumpness anyway. The pumpmag, for example, is better left on the tailgate than try and compete against the great guns like Palmer's, CCM, Carter, CCI, and Sterling. It was just kind of a neat idea that does not really work well.
Leave the pumps to guys that know what they are doing.

I've seen quite a few pump mags used to great effect. And in the right hands they can easily compete with all the above mentioned pumps. They guys I know that use them are very good with them. Its like any other marker. Its what the user is comfortable with.

would need an internal overhaul. way to inefficient. but the way paintball is leaning back towards stock class... AGD might want to at least throw a few ideas on the board.

[HarrysSon]

that would really be awesome! just have it like JUST as good as the other electro-markers out there, that would be the best pump ever if anyone put that much thought into it

[Maggot6]

Lets say AGD decided to use an A.I.R. based valve for this pump mag that will never come out, What would you expect from it? Such as a ULE'd body + 10 round holder tube(excuse my lack of pump information) with a built in rail, and a more comforatable grip than the standard automag..And different options of pump grips..Bah, I could go on forever.

I've seen Spyder Tl's used to great effect, that does not mean they are in the same league as Xmags and such. Pumpmag is a solid and well made gun, just not well thought out or applicable for pump use.

[stop whining buy a mag]

If AGD made a quality pump for under $200'ish, it may be somewhat popular. When people are looking at buying a pump, what would be the first concern? For me it would be durability. Who cares if your pump is ugly or slow (even though that is the point of them). AGD is known for quality. A well made pump that is very durable may do pretty good.

I wouldn't mind an AGD pump mag. If I could get it for a reasonable price. I feel AGD tends to over price themselves on things of that nature.

My post would have gone something like yours.

Ten points for you.

It's not time to "pump up AGD", it's time to let it die peacefully.

[onedude36]

I say make a pump, but make sure you call it a generation 2 or something. Make a few small subtle changes and you've got a new gun.

BTW: how is the pump stroke on a pump mag? I was told it is smoothe and somewhat light.

[Jeffy-CanCon]

My friend Bob (RKL) has a pump-Mag. You can work it with a tap of your finger. Pretty comparable to a pneumatic-assist Sniper.

I think AGD could do something along this line, but the question is how big is the market? It's probably not worthwhile from a financial perspective.

who says the componets have to be the same?

Just curious, when you say "componets", which parts are you refering to?
