    AGD as a company

    It has been a few years since Tom Kaye left our sport, but is their anything going on inside of AGD anymore? Are they just building and selling the old (old but amazing) stuff? How come the xmag isn't in the online store?

    Due to the political and legal environment AGD made a decision to not pursue an e-marker at this time. Although some e-mags from before end of production are available still (quite a few it seems) they, along with X-mags, are not being produced.

      That explains a lot. I took a leave from paintball for a while and wasn't around for all the lawsuits and stuff, so I really know nothing about all that.

        Tom Kaye has also hinted that a new gun is in the works, but nothing else has been said about that in quiet a few months.

          The "Grapevine" says that AGD never stopped R&D, so who knows what lurks on paper in those file cabinets.

                    Now Tom gets to come and take your first born...

                    Yeah, Tom has hinted in the past that there was something new on its way. He just never hinted as to what.

                    Maybe I should make a trip to wheeling this summer...

                    Behemoth, wanna come?

                        Don't we need Total-AO first?

                        Whatever happened to the 'Illuminati'?

                              Compared to other paintball companies, AGD is very quiet when it comes to new products and innovation. Even AGD Europe for that matter. I really hate to say this, but i feel like buisness is not going well for AGD at the moment...

                              Offcource i don't know what's going on, but the way they do buisness is a bit odd.

                              - They don't make and release new markers since the xmag
                              - Their european webshop was updated like 2 years ago? (atleast it looks like it)
                              - No marketing?

                              It is a bit harsh to say, but if AGD keeps this up they will go the way of the dodo..

                              Even though AGD is not a very big company, i think there is alot of potential going to waste.
