| IMHO (and I could be wrong, as I often am), AGD is eventually going to price themselves right out of business. I hate to say it, because I love my mags. However, your average entry-level player is probably going to pay $250 for a nice electro as opposed to a HEAVY mechanical gun that isn't a vert feed. No matter how high quality it is. They have needed a nice affordable entry level gun for awhile. If they can sell a complete gun (w/ barrel), that has a ULE body on it (stainless valve or whatever), and a double trigger, for about $175 (that may be pushing it a bit), they could make a serious comeback. Granted, the bottom would probably fall out of the high-end and collector mags, but, honestly, which would you rather have? How many of us are there that would like to see the Sydarm and the pumps come back? Not likely, but possible.
The bottom line is that the more guns anyone else sells that appeal to the beginners and rec players, the farther AGD falls behind. I use mags as my primary and secondary. Of the 10 people on my rec team, three of us don't use mags (but I'm building one for one of them). Every time we play we get asked what type guns they are. It's probably not the same everywhere, but you get the idea.
It kinda worries me. |
