So what new has happened in the last two years?

[Brian68mag]

I doubt anyone remotely remembers who i am.
I used to post on these boards about 2.5 years ago before i left. I won an Emag at a contest here around 2.5 years ago. I enjoyed the hell out of it for a year or so before giving it to a good friend who was serious (he still is) about the sport. I quit pball because no one played in my region and took up the shooting sports. Now i shoot IPSC, IDPA, 3-gun and High Power competitions. I am also enlisted in the Marine Corps DEP and leave in November as 0300(Infantry).
This summer i am residing in Germany in a town called Syrgenstein in Bavaria.

I remembered this message board was by far the coolest on the Web and thought i'd give a shoutout and see if the mag crowd was still ticking. Obviously y'all are.

I am curious to know how AGD is doing, how the Mags are doing and what new developments have hit the pb world. When i head back to the states i'll be living in Tucson until i ship out and i intend to do a little bit of playing and i'd like to know what's new and whats going on.

Thanks AO, i remember you guys always were the best.

Quite a bit has changed.... Baiscally AGD is standing still, not much new is being made, just the same stuff is being manufactured. I am not sure how old this news is, but the e/xmag aren't being produced at all anymore, . The level 10 superbolt has came out, no chops at all. The tac one is an rt pro in disguise, but a new body none the less... As far as the rest of paintball, the major issue is ramping. Basically it's not true one shot per pull, it's like three pulls and full automatic of 15.4 bps....

[Blazestorm]

Actually you have to pull atleast 5-6bps before it'll ramp to 15.4

[TheTramp]

Oh, and the loaders have gotten pretty sick!

[dahoeb]

well,

smart parts sued and almost destroyed AKALMP (vikings and excaliburs).

DM4/5's are all the rage for 12-16 yearold skaters that think they're sponsored.

15bps isn't fast enough for some reason so people like ryan greenspan resort to cheating and is suspened from PSP for the rest of the season.

most players at fields don't know anything about agd and have probably never heard of the automag or warpfeed. at least at camp pendleton paintball, thats the way it is.

NOTHING NEW AT ALL (hint hint agd) has come out of agds big swinging doors for almost 3 years, since the xmag. you now have the proclassic and tac-1 but its the same ol lady in a different dress.

the only really innovative thing to come out of paintball at all for that matter has probably only been the Q-loader. most of the new stuff is just a remake or update of a previous version.

paintball has actually been a little depressing lately, companies putting so much hype into it makes me sick, and least more hype than usual it seems. and most of the time their hype doesn't even make sense!

anyways, JT is now owned by brass eagle. worrgames is owned by k2. tippmann, well i don't know who their owned by, but someone bought them. aci and system x merged.

kingman still makes a new spyder every month.

for the most part dynasty still dominates just about every event they go to, but they do get beat now and then.

thats about all the news i can think of.

by the way brian68mag, i've been in the marines for a few years now (hence camp pendleton pball field), so if you got any questions at all feel free to pm me.

dont get your hopes up

[Adamk58]

your probably right, but it would be nice.

[Caffiend]

Brian68mag, look Voodoo up when you get to Tucson. We're a mag shooting scenario team, but we play renegade, rec, and anything else we can think of.

I went to camp pendleton's paintball course. That is the most woods type courses ive ever been on. No sup air any where. Just trees and some fake houses. Kinda cool I think.

mQValve for cockers...

Oh yeah- we're leaving out one big thing- TOM RETIRED FROM AGD.
