07 AGD emag...kinda

[warbeak2099]

I love how everyone says it's a emag knock off. Oh my god, Chevy makes pickup trucks therefore they must be copying Ford! First of all, GM is better than Ford. SECOND OF ALL, AGD does not have a patent on single tube guns. AGD wasnt even the first to make single tube. So this is obviously a Nelson clone...

I kinda hope that was rip on me... , cuz I never said anything about it being an automag rip... but there are definitely similarities (namely kinda similar to the emag but better) and if you dont see that then possibly you need some glasses... and I never mentioned any preference to any truck... merely stated that for every dodge diesel (the Cummins, I anticipate more diesels in their near future) ford makes a buck- in reference to the smart parts "scandal"

and you can love all the chevys in the world, that will not bother me

Back to subject: I usually don't look at guns and say "I'm going to get that" but this one makes me reconsider that philosophy.

I agree

Oh and another name for the later remodels = the molester

Single tubes have been around forever sure, but this is only the second production marker which houses the battery in the foregrip. The first one being the emag.

Anyway, I like it.

[SpecialBlend2786]

Interestingly, the E-mag had the hump on the back of the trigger frame too. It was considered 'uncool'. The Timmy came out with the clam-shell and a back hump, and it was a big hit!

For years, the E-mags 'foregrip' has been a big complaint. It would be ironic if the foregrip on this marker is a big hit too. I guess it would prove that the idea itself isnt uncool, just who it is that markets it.

Food for thought.

Good point. I actually remember SEARCHING for a emag with the hump when I was getting mine. Comfortable as hell for big hands.

I think the main complaint of the emag battery pack was the weight though, which was much more than a simple 9 volt.

Thanks Derek for your business acumen. Now that youve said so, I guess I can let it go

Oh because Smart Parts is going to smack you down too?
Oh noes everyone!! WATCH OUT.

I don't like the name "Mini." Maybe something like... "The Violator," or... "The Intruder," or... "The Penetrator." Those are good names. Should run it by marketing... see what they think.

I don't know 'Cue. I'm slightly concerned that when someone says something is small you think along lines like that.

/mmm.. second thought

rofl! nice

[SpitFire1299]

I think its a nice gun.. and a good inovation. AGD's battery pack idea was taken in a way, but now everyone will call your emag an invert instead of a shocker.

[damageINC]

I think it looks pretty sleek, personally. As with all things sports oriented, however, I tend to shy away from anything eletronic. There's the whole issue with shock from hitting stuff and dropping it, water and the elements, or just shoddy soldering on the boards. I was wondering more about ease of maintaince and durability....can anyone involved with this speak to that end? Making it that small and light I'd think the sidewalls would be so thin that hitting the deck or sliding into a bunker would dent the damned thing.

I say they name the thing the little richard....at least the shortened moniker (aka timmy's) would be something people wouldn't forget about. :P

[tribalman]

And the difference Was?
The Emag was heavy, the Timmy was not.
The hump on the emag was gigantic, and the timmy's was not.

If the timmy sold better than the Emag, I bet they were doing something correct.

Hey! how about you add a hump to a Chimera, or an I frame, and you can tell everyone how original you are!

Or maybe you'd like to go ripping off custom products again.

hrm....gets emag, and freestyle, and clamshelled timmy.
the freestyle has the hump also, its slight smaller, but the whole frame is slightly smaller than the emag. like special blend says, it's more comforable. my hands aren't big but i'd rather have something bigger to grip than a small frame and reg. i like the emag lowers and the battery pack. the only thing (too me) that comes close to the emag in comfort is my tac-one with bicycle grip. on all 3 frames the hump is about the same size.


and in the discussion of the mini. i think it looks ok. if the front grip feels ok and will fit an emag battery, i just my try to fit one onto the emag. the only thing i don't like is how the body slims at the midpoint between the back and the feedneck. infact, i don't like it on the freestyle either. it's not as big on the freestyle, but i still don't like it.

[warbeak2099]

Lol, the foregrip is way smaller than the one on an Emag. You'll never fit an Emag batt in there.

[superfreakmabsta]

ok, so who makes this thing, and do they honestly expect to sell this gun for around 500. that seems a bit cheap.

Empire, or NPS.

They've got the distribution and scale to make a profit at that price, I guess.

Lol, if it's cheap then people will buy it. I'd expect it to go like hotcakes for under $500. Why wouldn't NPS?

[Doobie]

I kinda think with the right marketing, and if they put it in the right teams hands, it could be a winner. Everyone wants smaller, lighter, faster right? It's smaller, and seems lighter, and with the caps in most major tournys it's AS fast as...so why woudn't it do well?
Way to go Manike!
