I will say that Flatlines are the best tank I have ever used. I like them so well I own no other tank, I have 3 of them, they work good with high pressure, and low pressure I'm using one on my angel G7 right now. ONly problem I have ever had with one was I couldn't get it to turn up past 900 psi sent it to Tuna he did a quick fix and now it will go to 1500 psi. I don't know why AGD couldn't market these more, they are awsome.

I should get a 68ci 4500psi for my Eblade goodness. Are they still made, or would I need to buy used?Originally posted by zackzel[Something Cool is Here]Comment

The only reason Mags are not in the lime light is because AGD does not advertise and push hype on the young n' dumb market and they do not have ramping software.Comment

Yeh... because all the advancements to electronic markers in the last five years have all been for nothing.Originally posted by Recon by Fire
Good thing I, and many others, are all in the "young n' dumb" category. It couldn't possibly be a logical selection of a marker that better fit our play style and/or budget

no ramping-But they have had hybrid for a while, that is not legal you know. Not to mention the "bounce" associated with the mods you can do (on/off pins, shims, up the psi, etc).
young n dumb-Im stupid but I believe even the kiddies realize there are better guns out there for cheaper.
The only hype I have ever seen in paintball is from the lower end market. You always see in bold letters:
rocking trigger, eframe, over 22 bps capable (such bs), faster built in feeding system (give round per minute bs), high gloss ano (paint), bootom line, sniper spin barrel, and various other pointless features. The higher end guns are prooven fast, reliable, and there is no need to hype them especially with pointless parts. Even the "kids" people speak of that supposedly listen to the hype rarely can afford (even their parents) high end markers. Mas are great guns but there is nothing new about them. They work, they are solid, and that is it. What is wrong with people wanting newer guns, even if this so called hype is true?my feedback

Hi,
Being the owner of probably about 10 AIR valve chassises as well as 3 R/T based chassises I can say this.
The mag is built like a tank. I have used them on and off since I have been playing. I wish I had kept my first mag cause I worked my tail off for it while still in college. They were always reliable in the field. The worst AGD product I ever owned was an E Mag. I didn't care for it since it was broken more than working.
While in the attic, getting christmas decor down, I found a box. In that box was a standard 11 inch barrel. That barrel was on my first mag which was a 68 Standard (classic 68 today) It instantly brought back memories. I had to find a mag now.
I hit Ebay and bid on a cheap minimag and won. It had an old school rail with the knock outs for a back bottle. Over this past weekend I bought an original black body R/T for almost a steal! However it needed work. My mindset when back to the first days I got into a regular thing with this sport. Now I have goodies on the way for the R/T. I need to rebuild it to find the problem with the valve train.
Mags have kept it simple over the years. They made of best videos over the years too. Who would have guessed the Minimag would revolutized compact performance on a couple of steal drums. Sandman pulling a trigger 9 times a second was pretty intense back then. When Tom introduced the R/T Valve 26 balls a secondeveryone said it was too much. Now you can get a DM5 chip and hit 40 BPS with right settings and upgraded halo that only spits out 20 BPS to begin with.
Reality is R/T technology gets the look of old while still performing at the rates of the newest and latest. People think its outdated cause it doesn't have a new model number. It must not be faster cause it's "old" tech. Yet with the minor upgrades to the bolt and on off pin now, you can make it perform at the level it was meant to be used at. Some of us see it as the fact, this was AGD's forward vision.
Later,
AlanPaintball cannot be that big. No one has really been able to sponsor a stock car or a race yet. (local people do not count in this case :))

Ramping/Hybrid - exactly! Mags have hybrid which is not legal while ramping is legal (WTF?). So the lack of legal increased-ROF software rather than hardware, limits their appeal.
Hype/advertising; plain and simple, sheeple will buy what ever is most advertised to them. Some of it is justified hype as you stated, most of it is not. New has nothing to with performance. The lack of advertising is why AGD is not more mainstream. I can go to the field today and most of the kids there shooting Timmies and such don't even know what I am holding!Comment

Just to clarify, you cannot control the rof with hybrid mode or bounce on mech mags. Sometimes you will hit 10, other times 15-20 or more. That is all that is not legal. But mags have been doing this for a long time now, it is not like it was just discovered, so does that make it the original cheater gun?
I agree, it would have helped agd alot if they did advertise more but its a little to late now.my feedback

Nah, the RTs were out before thatOriginally posted by phantomhitman
AO (or a vocal minority): Hybrid rules, this is faster than anything else. Ramping sucks, ramping cheaters

Just to clarify. Thats BS.Originally posted by phantomhitmanComment

Which part? The not being able to control it or the fact that you can't control it is the only thing illegal about it?
The average person can't precisly control it but that's not the real/only reason it's illegal. :)"Relax. Don't worry. Have a Home Brew."
