What is AGD up to?

[Aslan]

Be

I've posted about this on other sites as well...

The argument for BE is that they made the sport mainstream enough to survive and made affordable products. While I see their point, and I don't think all of their markers are junk if you work on them a little bit (didn't Rainmaker win AO?), my biggest gripe with BE is that they could have made small fixes to their products and "chose" not to. BE knew that their products were junk, but figured (rather than fixing them) they could just sell them for cheap and still make a ton of dough in volume.

Again, I like some of their markers...and for the price, hey...ya get a marker for $5...it's not upgradable and won't last more than a season...but ya got it for $5. It won't be tournament grade...and it won't be upgradable...and people will laugh at you...but I've taken the silver eagle out on occasion...done well with it. What BE lovers can't defend is BE paint...that stuff is plain garbage and BE should get charged with robbery or fraud for selling it.

Rainmaker OG won because of their players, not their markers.
Half the of the time their markers were down, and they were using replacements.

does CVS or right aid make cough syrup or headache medicine? no....does brass eagle have their own gelatin encapsulator manufacturing plant? i doubt it....im betting its just generic paint that some other name brand manufacturer makes for them and they put their label omn it. i could be waayyy so so wrong...but im puttin my bet there.

also, wheres agd goin? i cant wait to find out. Tom seems to have hinted more than just a few times in the threads that there are in fact things happening in agd home base. im excited to what great minds like his have come up with

*edit*

oh yeah, on the topic of paint. what i used to think was really good for a low price was a paint called Steel. had a local dealer givin us a great deal percase and i thought it worked great

Even back in the day everyone knew there guns sucked.

So have you ever shot a Nightmare? Or a Ghetto Duck? Or even know what they are?

Oh, and I love how people assume that if something was going on they would know about it...

Anyways, to add something constructive I have no idea what AGD is up to, but I don't see them just giving up and keeling over just yet.

BE paint is garbage. I can't ever think of a time when I used it and didn't have a broken ball in the container or have them break in my barrel. The shells were just way to brittle....

I have. When they first came out a team mate of mine bought one. It spent more time in the shop than it did on the field. One of the first times he used it - he was pumping and the whole front half of the gun fell apart. Worst gun I have ever seen. It was a nice looking marker but thats all I can say for it. He never got thru a day of play without it going down.
I am talking about the Nightmare and it lived up to its name.

Oh and yeh you were about 2 or 3 years old when the Nightmare came out. How did you hear about it? Did your grandfather tell you about them?

I heard from my buddy's brother's girlfriend's hot sister's friend's uncle that AGD is secretly creating a SUPER DUPER DOOMSDAY WEAPON that targets fools that keep asking what they are doing!

Well, that's good to know. Most people don't even know that Brass Eagle made markers before the Stingray and the Talon. So I am glad that you are basing this off actual experience and not just some kid who thinks he knows everything about nothing.

Nope, Gramps didn't even know about paintball until I let him shoot my Viking. The trigger pull was too much on my Phantom and my 007 unfortunately otherwise I think he would have enjoyed it. He loved the looks of both over the big gun with the funny attachments, but no he didn't. I am actually quite interested in the Old School stuff. I would love to own a KP or some sort and a Vector with an Intimidator but I alread have too much... It would be really neat though...

As to the actual Nightmare I have seen them and dry fired them but never shot or played with one. I would like to but I don't want to buy one. However, I have never really heard bad things about them on the forums where the majority of the members know what they are so I am wondering why yours was so bad... Oh well, such is life I guess.

Have a good day.

Expect it in six to 8 weeks.

I just have to ask: How much extra would it cost to have it splash ano'ed???

[dolphin1823]

not a very good rant.

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

That is the funniest thing I've heard in a long time. I owned a Posion and my buddy had a Jaguar, worst gun I ever owned. Should have spent the extra $50 and got the VM-68 back then.

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.

I would rethink that. You need to be really uber fbi cia cautious when buying from anyone. People get ripped off let and right from every forum, not just pbnation. I would higly suggest that you use a third party to do anything over $100 from anywhere.
