Bring Back/Save your Favorite Paintball Company???

[Meleager7]

If you were suddenly given $5,000,000 , and you had to put it towards bringing your Favorite Paintball company back from the dead, or revive a stagnant existing Company back to it's glory days, which Company would you pick?

And what would be your first New Product released?

And you also get to hire Tom Kaye and Simon Stevens as consultants

Id just make a super killer field. Ill pass on being an oem manufacturer.

[Meleager7]

Hey, that was my next dead zone topic! stop jumping the gun!

[BrickHaus]

I honestly used to dream about it all the time, though I know it would never pay for itself, but I feel Id enjoy cooking up sweet ideas.

I'd probably go with Line SI. I imagine a new Bushmaster Deluxe would sell well with a stock class feed. The PRP isn't far off, TBH, but I loved those old frames.

Also... $1MM might not be enough to save some of these companies. Machine tools are pricey!

[Meleager7]

Ok, i upped the hypothetical stakes and you get to hire a dream team....

[flyweightnate]

In that case... Sydarm. All day.

[Memornix]

I would bring back some good paint. Maybe RPS from the days of old

Yeah, this. I would bring back good paint.

I going to go with the unpopular opinion and say I’d like to see Tippmann brought back to there innovative family run days.

[glaman5266]

I don't think it's an unpopular opinion. I (and many others, I'm sure) on this board would love to have seen what Tippmann could've come up with if they were still on their own.

[Meleager7]

I too would like Tippmann family to buy back Tippmann , and start creating again!

Who else wants to see a 98 Custom Mini ?

- shortened 98 receiver
- vertical cvx valve
- hammer hits a Lever
- lever hits valve pin
- vert feed
- Classic 98 foregrip

You basically just described an ICD cat with a vertical feed

i want to be as cool as ice 😎

[RuleOfSines]

I would like to see MetaDyne finish the Phoenix.

[Surf2Live]

Either pre-lawsuit(s) AKA or Alamo City.

[OpusX]

WGP. Factory cockers and snipers for all.

[Memornix]

As long as the snipers were right feed like God intended them

[OpusX]

Memornix gets it. I'd also be ok if some lefties just happened to find their way back into the wild...

[Memornix]

lefties are also ok

[NONOBLITUS]

Montneel Designs !!!!! My fondness grows deep with these old shooters.

[euangelion]

Redz, miss the packs.

[SignOfZeta]

The Phantom. Current owners, the gun and the field, $5M would open a few new locations and get some guns IN STOCK, reenergize the pump evangelism, etc. Commission a cool theme song promoting pump play, fair play, etc. Run an ad or two. Make a whole scene out of it.

[bellicose]

I was thinking CCI as well.

[JonM]

I'd like to see a pre-Kingman Raven come back. Their masks and other soft goods were really good before they got stripped down to a budget Java line. I still have yet to see any other company release a Transitions style lens since the original Nuvis-1.

[punkncat]

Ignoring the facts concerning the current market....

I agree with the above about AKA. It would have been awesome to see the "eM" as a mainstream production piece and what innovation the company could have come up with as a follow up.

My own choice would be WDP. Pre A1 build quality, British made type goodness days.
