AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
Nobody in the industry is making anything really new. Most are improvements to last years model.
AGD revamped their whole marker. New bodies, rails, trigger frames, bolt, valve, trigger pull kit. There really is little else to revamp.
And AGD has never been about yearly models. Fancy milling for the sake of it. They make what they make, and they do it the best they can from the start.
If there is something you can think of to improve, let us know.
Why does makin[g] money suck?
A market that gets by on looks won't go anywhere because visual improvements aren't substantial - they don't do anything. Its a matter of princible. The idea of throwing out last years model for a shiny new one is wasteful and only makes manufacturers comfortable investing in better milling rather than advancement.
Z-man - "I would say we are not so much proud as...viscously loyal. Dissing AGD in earshot of AO is like throwing rocks at a bees nest... a big bees nest... with millions of freaking bees that have modded AI software, maneuverability upgrades and rocket launchers."

This is called Eye Candy, and it does indeed make a lot of money for them.
WOW, sigs. Havent seen these in a while here on AO.
ok, but since when has the mag been like that? aesthetics do matter, but IMO, the mags have never been really ugly for what they are, and i think that most of the mags i see are very beautiful.
thnak you to the comments thus far. the only improvements i say is at least comeout with one product every year. this is why i say this, i went out of town for two years to las vegas, so i didnt play any paintball for two years,( i have back nearly a year) a few months ago i wanted to start playing paintball, so i called copaintball.com and asked for a mag parts kit, they told me that airgun went out of business. i freeaked out because i have a great mag all pimped out. so i went to my local proshop and he they were not sure if airgun was still in business. thankfully i found airgun.com and got a verbal confirmation that airgun is in business. i thinkmany people will but from airgun if there was a little advertising, just to let people know that they still exist. past few weeks i have been ordering from airgun like crazy. this is what i think that may be good for airgun. i hope that this info may help out some
Hey rouge, I got a question, what makes the exile and pariah bodies different from normal ULE bodies? and why are they heavier? The only difference I can see(they do look different, but it's hard to put it on just a simple thing) are dual detents and the front looks slightly cut down. But I thought they stopped making slug bodies, so are these totally custom peices?

ule bodies with some milling,,,exile fit the rt/ emag rail..the pariah fits the mm/cm rails

mags always look good to people who know what they are capeable of, to most people they look like cheap spyders but to me they look like sleepers. dont look like anything fancy but when you tear apart some noob with an ion or DM its awsome
