        The fact of the matter is AGD is dead. Whoever is the current owner of AGD must not want to make money... many people arn't buying them and alot of times us "AOers" are buying custom stuff from dealers.

        I really just don't understand why they don't work on an electro or work towards re-engineering the E/X-mags for today's paintball world. It can be done.

                The owner is still Tom Kaye to be clear....

                I agree though I would bet AGD could make a new marker (and not get sued). There are new markets still comming out. Even if AGD has to pay a royalty, a new marker might still be profitable. It is hard to say that about a new marker in this environment, but some advertising for their current products I don't think would hurt. I think what DOES HURT is the silence eminating from this company....hell many Aoers have been demoralized from this...

                My two cents would be to make a trimmed down version of the emag (which I will be the first to say is out of character for AGD). Cut cost by getting rid of mechanical overide, the expensive batery (and its housing), cut out the level 10 and leave it optional, have it come without a barrel (how many tourney players use the stock barrel on any marker?)
                All of a sudden the emag is about $300-400 cheaper at retail.

                    Sounds like a plan. And I'd buy one the day it comes out (seriously). The level 10 is just another pain, especially if you've got eyes. Mechanical override, although awesome, is a thing of the past. Electric guns are here to stay, we shouldn't have to worry about switching to mechanical.

                        any thing brand new would be nice. Shoot if they do not come out with anything new i am going to be a ion lol jk! at least they are innovative. I think indain creek design still makes new things every now and then and they are on the same boat as agd.

                            New items on pbreview

                            OK, since I found the number of Automag items that are not listed on pbreview.com, I went ahead and submitted them.

                            Once the items are approved and uploaded on the site, some one will need to put a review up on them (I've never used any of them myself, otherwise I would.)

                            New items will be:
                            E-Tac
                            Tac-One Warp Mainbody
                            RPG Gripper
                            Tunablade

                                Read this thread. Hardly silence on the part of AGD.

                                "HEY TOM" New idea's for AGD? - Automags.Org Online Forums

                                Paintball Talk is the main forum for Automags.org. Here is where we talk about the sport of paintball in general and make announcements relating to the forum and website.


                                There are a couple posts in there which clearly tell you what is up.
