    Ok I can take that....damned stupid to post one thing and then make 180* turn though. Very good example of people believing what they read I saw the one post and his quote so quoted the both to begin with. My 2nd reply was simply to answer his reply he made to me, why would I read above the post I made?

      At least those companies realized it and therefore stayed competitive.

      You can complain about successful marketing and die off, or you can learn from it and stay competitive.

      My biggest concern about the mag is that in ten years, noone will be around to service it.

        I swear to you, you need to look up the idea of niche marketing.

            Very few niches stay around for a long time. Thats the point. Yes, they are into niche marketing, but since paintball itself is barely out of being a niche market entirely, then a niece of a niece is basically hanging on the edge of a cliff, ignoring the ladder and ropes that you could use to pull yourself up.

            The thing im getting at is AGD doesn't have to be a niche player. It shouldn't be, their product is the best out there for durability, reliability, etc.

            ANd if they wanted, they have the means to gain a large amount of weight in the PB market overall. WIth this weight, they could, conceivably, bring the game closer to the AGD ideal.

            If they don't want to do this, that is all fine and well. But its kinda hypocritical for the company to proclaim a moral loss to the paintball world, when they have the means to make changes, but refuse to use those means.

              Umm. Palmers pursuit shop. Any number of firearms manufacturers. A large number of car manufacturers. A large number of agricultural companies. I dont think your going to find niche markets are more prone to failure than any other market

                Man. I got pwned.

                I still think AGD needs to update their website. You know, knock off the spiderwebs, put some new material up, etc.

                    Just bought one myself. Just about one of the smallest semis you can buy, and very light. Things are built like a tank. Ought to be fun to use.

                              Awesome, nice find!

                              I'm interested to see how much different it actually looks from the standard Ego.
