All Downhill From Here?

[don miguel]

I was at boston paintball supply today and I was getting my minimag fixed (or trying to at least) and the guy there said that they don't carry AGD parts anymore. They used too but he said "ever since the company is going down hill, we stopped carrying thier stuff. They just don't make new products anymore, and are behind the competition". Luckily they had some spare orings in the closet and fixed my gun. but is that statement true, is AGD really going downhill? i hope not. ROCK ON AGD!

true... so true...

this company isn't going down is it, because I think the guy at boston paintball was telling the truth. he was saying how mags ar not popular (totally wrong) and how the company is run out of some guy's house. I think he was trying to talk crap about AGD so I would buy a better gun from him. i dont know.

he means that people having been saying AGD is shutting their doors for a couple years now. There are lots of threads on here from newer members asking or saying this.

oh ok. I was confused because the proshop people are dissing AGD and I was confused because the xmag came out and stuff, so they aren't really behind. proshop people can be misleding just to sell stuff.

One thing's for sure, don't trust the guys at Boston Paintball, unless you like paying too much for used equipment their selling as 'new'
I went there a few times when I was starting out in paintball, only to stop going there after I learned that they will scam you any chance they get.

Are you honestly making the argument that mags are a popular marker when compared to others in the current paintball market?

The end is neigh! 'Tis the twilight of an age! Repent ye sinners! REPENT!

You'd think if AGD guns were still really popular, I might see one occationally floating around. So far I think the only other person I've seen using an Automag in person in recent memory is Carbon when I met him at an NCCS tourny.

Personally, I like to consider AGD a "Dark Horse" if you will... something of a Cult phenomenon

in my opinion, yes. I see 1 autococker for everey 5-6 mags. Autocockers are supposed to be pretty common. But I guess thier not. mabe this is different for places other than massachusetts.
less popular than

[dahoeb]

well...autocockers aren't really the that popular of a gun out there right now either, so you shouldn't really judge the mag too much compared to that one. generally speaking, mags really aren't that popular. like an endangered species, there are still a few places where the mag flourishes though. you seem to be lucky enough to live in one of those places.

I don't think AGD is going downhill...it's just stalled waiting for AAA to tow it back to the top.

[don miguel]

I think that if AGD realeased some unknown prototype, like a new valve, gun, or something, they could get back to the top of the market. I think mags are for educated players who are a little old school (not saying every mag owner is, especially ones with the awesome mods in the photo gallery) because mags are a fairly simple design, are easy to take apart, and repair. I think AGD will come out with a new product that will make them more famous. I will be sporting my new mag + warp at the 28 days after scenario at fox4. I hope to turn heads, and possibly make new maggers (if that's the right word for it).
