Well, I'm sorry, but it is quality. What you get isn't your normal run of the mill assembled in taiwan for $50 and sold for $300 marker.
RPG markers are all milled and annoed in the USA (to my knowledge).
First of all, mags don't suck. Why would you pay $1500 for a DM4? Speed? The mag valve can handle crazy insane speeds without dropoff. when I say without dropoff, I mean none at all.
You get a mechanical marker with the capability to shoot faster then a lot of electros. All it takes is a bit of modding.
$400 for a mag that might need $200 of tinkering to make just as fast as a Dye Matrix (without the firing modes and blinky lights of course) sitn unreasonable to me at all.
AGD is a dieing company. They need to make money. They dont sell many markers.
RPG is a small company. Rogue doesn't have the capacity to effeciently spit out 10,000 markers at a time with a few machines. his stuff is milled out from raw parts and annoed by his company.
Simply put, Rogue doesn't have an assembly line like other companies do.
Good?
