    It's been an awesome run AGD...

    Well fellas, after 11 years with AGD, I've decided its time to move onto Macdev. I've been alongside AGD since 1995 when I first started playing paintball, & to be honest, I was hoping I could stick with 'em 'till the end. Unfortunately that wasn't the case. This past couple of months I picked up my first '06 Borg, and I haven't looked back since. I'm totally in awe of it's performance, quality, reliability, price, looks, and customer service. I was so taken back that the only way I could afford to get my hands on another (a back-up) was to break my bond with AGD and sell off my beloved X-Mag. As with many of you on this forum, I started off blasting suckers in the woods; however, during the same year I was introduced to speedball (with pallets, giant spools, & tires set up as bunkers). Within the next 5 years or so, I see-sawed between the two forms of play. I found myself more addicted to speedball, simply for the fact that I loved to constantly move around. So I began to save up money for an X-Mag. It took the selling of an Automag, Minimag, & some parts, but eventually I picked one up. As of this past Friday, that last of my Mag collection sold to ShotOnSight.

    I just wanted to say thanks for everything that AGD & all of its loyal members have done for me these past 11 years. I'll never forget it, as well as never forgetting the company that guided & brought me to where I am today. As with alot of people who leave & then decide to comback, I'm almost positive I'll be doing the same thing, but this time I'll be coming back as a collector. Again, thank you all very much. Take care AGD.

      lol... Yeah, peewee's right. You'll eventually miss the mag and have on for nostalgia at least.

      btw: how's paintball in spokane? (aka middle of nowhere washington, :-D) Around Seattle is okay, but I've always been courious about Eastern Washington...

          We have a limited number of venues but there is generally always something going on. The venues all work together to make sure that events/ tourneys dont overlap.You can figure on two or three tourneys a month.

                You're moving onto another great community. A younger AKA...

                  Bye-bye sucker. The Xmag is its own back-up. Just more mags for us die hard fans to collect.

                    If you are a mag fan you should always keep at least one.

                    I have been fortunate enough to own many of the high-end guns in the past months... I still love shooting my mags.

                    Have a nice vacation, cause you will eventually come home.

                        I'd expect to make it into MacDev within a year. I may make it by September depending my how much money I have saved...

                            Getting rid of God's gun

                            First off...11 years and only 57 posts...you must not have loved the community THAT much!

                            Second....hearing that you got rid of a perfectly good X-Mag...the Holy Grail of markers (at least the one I consider to be the holy grail)...makes me want to kick you. Not in a mean way...more like how Moe kicks Curly for being a .

                            What I don't understand is...I see lots of people switching from Mags to electros...and E-Mags to whatever the Pro Player marker of the month is. What I don't understand is...why woukld anyone get rid of an X-Mag? An X-Mag is just as fast as anything out there...reliability...quality...I don't understand.

                            I can see dumping a Minimag or automag for something faster. Believe me, as much as I hate to admit it...I've been envious of the guys at the field with A-5s with response triggers and WAS boards. I've even been a little jealous of the newbs with Ions shooting all over the place at 16-19bps. I have often thought...hmmm, maybe I should get rid of my mechs...maybe the age of mech is over and it's time to move on.

                            But ot get rid of an X-Mag?!! That doesn't make any sense.

                              I had a tac but even if i had a x mag i would still change. i'm switching purely because mags arent effiecent at all. i mainly play outlaw (95% of the time), it doesnt make much sense to shoot something that will run out of air 3/4 through the day.
