Why keep upgrading when your old stuff gets it done?

No, Im tossing out ideas, and having fun doing it. It is annoying? I will tune it down some. I don't want to be annoying.

SOrry.

Forgive me?

Its not annoying, it just misreads what AGD has appeared to do recently. Scale down towards a sustainable niche market.

why do you think that?

is there actually anything happening at AGD currently, projects, government contracts, anything?

I was told to shut up, politely.

I will say this though, when the possibility to re-enter my favotire hobby appeared, and the wife agreed (I wear the pants in my hous. My wife gave me permission) I immediately looked through all the paintball online stores for the automag.

Not one did i find.

NOT

ONE

SO I looked up the AGD website, and despite the website that is frigteningly outdated and misleading, they still sell markers.

That is why I hunted for this forum (I actually did a google search, didn't find the link from agd itself) in order to ask if the mag was still alive and kicking.

Apparently it is.

Is that the reason for the tac-one?

Im just wondering, what is the AGD niche?

Im not being combative, I just want some warm fuzzies about purchasing from a maker that has "scaled down".

AGD came to a realization that the current climate in tournament paintball (both political and legal) was not one they wanted to take the risk in. The risk to reward ratio was skewed. They view the casual player (RT PRO) and the scenario player (TAC One) as markets that fill there risk to reward ratio. In some peoples opinions AGD manufactures the best non-custom mechanical marker available today. These two markets suit that reputation very well.

Thanks. It was nice to hear a real, rational answer for AGD not being as visible as it used to.
