Top 10 PB Companies

the walmart factor IS a beast. There are millions to be made at walmart off sale of markers and other stuff there. While DYE is selling one DM5 to their retailer for $900 and keeping a $300 profit...Brass Eagle is selling 100 Blades to their retailers for $13 each and keeping $8 of that. The margins in these low cost markers is HUGE.

i agree with mobsterboy for the most part....

in no particular order:

dye - cos you can always count on their stuff being top notch
proto - for those of us who can't afford dye
AGD - purely out of respect for TK for everything he's done for the sport
SP - sorry but its true. you gotta admit, the ION gave a lot of "poor" people a fighting chance, or so everybody believes. maybe its their way of trying to pay back for what they did?
tippmann - for keeping scenario alive, and giving fields a cheap, reliable rental gun
WGP - the cocker is a great project gun for tinkerers and you can't deny its place in the history of the sport.
WDP - i think everybody has lusted over an angel at some point. i don't know if this is accurate or not, but in my mind, the first "super gun" i heard of was an angel
empire - they make some real quality clothing and accessories, which also look real cool
pmi/crossfire or whoever it was that came out with the first preset. that was a good idea and made air slightly more affordable for everybody.
