    What is AGD up to?

    Does anyone know what AGD is doing? I never hear anything about what they are doing, I only see things like y-frames going out of stock everywhere and also warp feeds (I hope I get mine soon) Does AGD have any plans for the future? Or are they just going to wait until there is nothing left and shut down? It's sad because AGD has been such a pioneer in the paintball industry.

    No one knows. Dave Z hasn't been nearly as involved with us, the customers, as TK was.

      Ok, you're new, so I'm hoping people will cut you some slack. You might get some people griping about this being the 100th or 1000th time this has been posted and that you should read past posts or search or something, but to save all that and maybe put this to an early rest...

      AGD is in what I call "relaxation" mode. They are sitting back, watching the waters clear, waiting for their "perfect wave" of the paintball market to come in. Maybe I'm an optimist... They are starting to make a wave in the sea of recreational and scenario markers again with the Tac-One, and for now that seems to be their strongest product.

      One of the company VP's purchased all of the paintball inventory that was remaining, but no one knows how much inventory was remaining. No news has been released about any additional items being manufacturered if the inventory is depleated completely. I would hope that there has been some capital set aside for that, since Special Ops seems to be advertising their "long bow" pretty well.

      So, for now, sit back, have a Corona and see where things go...

      Oh, yeah, and if you feel the itch, buy another mag!
      I'm feeling the itch, I think I want an eQ-Bow....

        Sorry if this has been posted a million times, guess I shoulda searched, but I want to buy a warp feed and I am afraid stores will run out before I get one. And I don't like buying them from people on b/s/t forums, maybe ebay....and the y-frame is like no more and I love those. I just really hope AGD makes a comeback, they're awsome.

          Just curious, why you're against buying on the forums?
          do whatever you want, but if the reason detering you is the possibility of getting ripped of, I'd highely suggest rethinking getting something on here, you'll save a ton of money.

            You can also buy directly from AGD.

            And they may be manufacturing products, because I emailed them the other day about getting something annoed by them and they responded that they sent out for anno and they could send my item out with theres when they get it done. So they are doing something.

                Right now at AGD, everyone is sitting there picking their noses.

                Like JR said, it's relaxation time. The more I think about it, I don't see them letting themselves drift out of business. They are probably working on something. Tonight I got to thinking of then next steps in paintball. One of them is getting rid of the power source-your tank. I know another company has produced a gun that operates off a battery but it has limitations. Maybe AGD is working on something a little more revolutionary and experimental.

                Excuse the bad grammar. It is late for me.

                  Hate to burst your bubble but if they where working on something THIS big. We'd have heard something. Nothing concreate mind u but there would be at least one rumor going around.

                  There main staple right now is the tac-one and will probably stay that way for a year at least.

                  And dont take this the wrong way, I'd love to be wrong on this one but theres way to many mag finatics to not at least know if they are working on "something"

                    Sounds like you guys think that AGD won't be completely gone anytime soon, which is good to hear. I should give them a call sometime, I hear they have awsome customer service. Again, sorry about the thread, I did a search and it has been posted more than a few times, my bad.

                      Does anyone really want this?...I think its the stupidest thing since brass eagle wanting to make guns. Because you know what that gun (w/o the air sourse) would be...airsoft.
                      Then you know what would happen next, people would complain it takes too much energy to shoot the paintball so it would be resized to about 6mm and then everyone would complain about the innconsistency of shape, so then it would be changed to plastic.
                      I personally think that isntead of getting rid of the airsource make it better and mae guns better. Because if you get rid of the tank you'll replace it with a stock, further casting a military stereotype onto paintball.

                      Just my rant, I just woke up im cranky...

                          not a very good rant.

                          brass eagle used to make good guns back in the day.
                          They've been around forever.

                            Well think what you want but if there is any more of a stereotypical "crap gun" it is brass eagle... thats just the stereotype the name has been given
