Why did AGD get rid of the Emag?

[Mind'sEye]

Tom, tell us again why crown tip barrels kick ***?

Ahh yes, The old 68 Automag video. It's still somewhere in the garage. I remember Tom saying that the tip of the crown point barrel just "disappears"..............

Rember the end of the 68 vid where Tom tested the Sydarm? It kept jamming on him!

it still trip me out the the Emag came around when the 1st angels came out.

The design although, clunky has proven to be reliable for me.

Some where known to burst into flames.

The EMAG will keep up with most any marker out on the market. AGD should have just made some small cosmetic changes and kept it on the market. screw SP.

It's still too clunky, AGD should have released the ULE body years ago. They also should have joined the hype parade and made the mag LP. While we all know the truth, most buyers out there don't care and it probably would'vbe sold more Emags. I remember when I was selling my Emag, an interested buyer asked "what's the input pressure?" I said 650, he said "whoa! no thanks."

Emag came out when the Angels first came out?!?!?! Am I missing something here? The Emag did not come out until what? 2000? The Angel came out in what? 1997?

Guys,

To set the record straight:

We were contacted by SP about potential violations under their previous patent on the shocker. This was not the patent they ended up sueing everyone on. This told us we were not immune in the long run.

We were told by high level individuals in the company that they didn't see anyone that they believed was not in violation of their patents.

We were never contacted about violations under the latest patent that everyone else was sued for but we figured we were on the list.

When it came time to think about revamping the emag there were several considerations:
The investment in a new design
Once we commited to a new design and the money, if we were sued it would mean we would have to commit to a license.
We didnt have the money to do both the license and the revamp.
The odds of coming up with a succesful product that could cover the costs of the development and the license were low.
Overall money risk against likelyhood of success we determined was not worth the risk reward ratio.

Thats why we didn't go on to make another Emag. RIP.

Several Months ago.

And was discontinued at the same time the E-mag was... or perhaps a bit earlier. Funny how that works

Xmag is the SAME GUN as the Emag. Just a different body.
