AGD as a company

[Arstron]

There have been more new products made for the automag in the past 3 years then for the autocockers, intimidators, spyders, etc.

ULE bodies, Warp ULE bodies, Tac one bodies, Warp Tac one bodies, slugs bodies and rails, the y-grip, ULE Trigger. Heck going from steel twist lock bodies to the aluminum cocker threaded bodies alone is more then most mfg. have done. Do I wish agd would make a new marker/new parts more offten, of course. However the platform that has been used for this gun for the past 16 years still out performs most if not all mech markers on the market.

Sure enough AGD mech markers are great. Too bad very few people know this. Or if they do why does everything else sell better?

I'm thinking that even the REC market is going to be mostly Electronic in the next few years. Smart Parts has created a entery level e-marker that is cheaper than higher end mechancals with high end electro features. It doesn't matter if you like them or don't the market has to respond. Agd doesn't respond to much. Little items AGD has done for there aging line has kept us around, but it has just been the potatoes. Where is the beef?

Lets not forget how much TK hates hype... Anyone remember the crown point barrel incident? It just goes to show that hype alone is what really sells a marker.

Take the Tag boards they claim "asynchronous trigger sampling" and this is a major selling point but from my understanding of microcontrollers. It dosnt matter if its optical, hes, or switch. Because they all have to wait for the processor to receive an interupt code from the switch which would be a voltage applied to a pin. But processors are not linear they have a rise and a falling cycle nothing is continuous.

The last marker I heard that AGD was producing was a less than lethal for the government... I wonder how much R&D they're actually putting into the consumer market nowa days...

Their Less-Lethal is finished. It has been for close to 6 years. It's being mfged and sold by FN, it's the FN303.

As for governemtn products, has anyone seen the semi-auto version of the teargas-ball shooters some police have? Seems a bolt that -never- chops paint would be very desirable for that sort of use.

You can't chop an FN303.

You're funny. He has 2000 more posts than you.

...says the guy with 200 posts.

...i was posting in response to the two people muzik quoted, about how they join the forum and talk about the FN303 like no one here knows about it, and muzik has to respond saying its been out for 6 years...

200 well thought-out posts, I tell you.

I wasnt trying to be a jerk, I thought you were flaming him though, sorry.

haha aww, such a cute, thoughtful newbie.

nope, sorry, not flaming, its okay

If you believe that, there is little to say.

AGD turned over their whole marker. New Valve, Bodies, Frames, Rails, Bolt, ULT's. There is little more they could do to update their marker.

If by "beef" you mean a completely new platform...dont hold your breathe. Thats an undertaking that takes years and lots of money. Remember, the poppet valve has been around for over 50 years. And 90% of the market uses that "aging" technology.

see? AGD is still around with just the potatoes, score one for vegetariansim

seriously, i think we should just have a sticky, there have been far too many "AGD is dying/lets discuss where AGD is going" threads.

or a nice big update from tom

:hint: :hint:

dont think weve heard much if anything from him lately,

his post are always vague and cryptic, such as "were always working on soemthing" sry if i dont remember the quote exactly im too lazy to search it out

they seem to still be making e-mags, or finding it worthwhile to do so...or they really had a ton of parts leftover
