Best AGD innovation of all time?

[warbeak2099]

don't take offense, use the search feature on some of the terms in my reply and you will the exact same thing posted about a variety of topics. It is a joke

EDIT: also note my "rofl dudes"

Lol yea I know. That's why I didn't respond to it haha. I believe the Ricker started it.

He may have been first to put it up here, but it is uber-old and all over... I love the "I work for" spiel

Not with the kind of squeegee I'm thinking about. If there's residue with a stick squeegee then there will be residue in your twistlock with a jerk squeege. I'm not talking about a freakin barrel swab lol. You've obviously never used one of those black stick squeegees. You push on a lever at the base end that collapses the rubber cleaning disk. Then you just stick the squeege all the way down the barrel, release the lever, and pull the squeegee out. Just as good a job as a jerk squeegee. Sorry, no practical advantage to using a twistlock.

Where can I get me one of these? I've never heard of them before...

Straight Shot

You actually push down on the opposite end and the disk collapses. Insert all the way to the end back of the barrel and release the spring end of the squeegee. The disk pops back up and you can just pull it through the barrel, getting most everything right out.

Mechanical / Electronic or Mechanical+electronic, by the flip of a switch(or two, or a yellow pin)
Twistlock...

MY favourite two things by AGD (that I've owned)..

[WenULiVeUdiE]

The best thing AGD brought to the table was true scientific testing, or at least the publicizing of it. They have done tests not only to better their own products, but to ensure the livelyhood and prosperity of others may also be ensured. Mr. Kaye may not be the best marketing manager, but he is one hell of a scientist.

Actual invention: Compressed Air

As cool as TK is, he did not invent the empirical method. I'm quite sure he wasn't around during the Enlightenment period in Europe.

I would have to agree with the HPA thing.

As for the other stuff mentioned, I think that's great for the Automag's portion of the pb world only...not for the pb universe as a whole.

But he did bring it into paintball...

[Miscue]

I could be mistaken... but I thought AGD made the hopper.

that's true

In order
Use of HPA
warpfeed
The mag
then lvl 10

As smart of an idea as lvl 10 is its very specific in nature and only applies to part of the mag owners. The mag itself reaches more people and has influenced a few current designs. The reg in it has been imitated in inline regs more than a few times. The warpfeed was really the lead in to eggs and halos. Companies saw the inerest in faster forcefeed hoppers due to the warp and it has changed the way a big portion of the game is played today. Still thought the most influential idea has to be the use of HPA. Almost anyone who has used or tried any of the already mentioned products has heard or used HPA. Co2 can be done fairly well but HPA is just such a better all around gas its hard to argue that was their biggest accomplishment, even if it was the one that paid them the least in the end.

high pressure constant - obviously one of the most popular concepts, still used everyday by most.
classic valves - made the best semi guns in a none saturated market, I'd say started the trend.
twist lock barrels- in particular, the nubins, it was the precursor for detents.

in that order would be my choices

I COMPLETELY FORGOT!!!!!! my favorite AGD innovation that changed the world of paintball has to be the zgrip. This is what sparked every gripframe idea excluding 45 degree grip. for example:
CIRCA 1995

CIRCA not too later than zgrip WDp ir3

Circa 2006 (pretty sure) Logic shocker vert frame

Thanks AGD for your great innovations! I wish I had a zgrip mabe someday one will fall out of the sky and hit me in the head.
Whoever owns a zgrip, I would keep it because you own a piece of AGD history. If you need to give it to someone for free, then hook me up.

[don miguel]

the twist lock barrel was also good, wonder why no one else try`d to reporoduce there own version

One problem with twist lock is that if the outside of the twist lock part of the barell isn't milled right, the barell will move up and down, and side to side, It won't stay centered like threaded barells. Do you gut what I mean. This happened wuth my TL j&j
