So. I spent the last week trying to help my friends figure out exactly what the heck was going on with Armotech. We were a small group of synario rec players who were looking for some great scenario guns, and the armotech line was the obvious choice.

Then poof. Controversy. Who is the legtiiamte dealer. Who's been packing crud in paper bags for customers. Who would be crazy enough to drop 3 lines of proven product, who would settle for having a non standard web URL.

Do you realize both webpages have poor english, spelling mistakes, and flawed code?

I think three of my friends settled on Tippmann A5's. Which was funny, because in the long run they probably could have saved money on a WG65 or a Sim, or whatever the heck is going on.

We were still holding out hope for the Zeus pistol series, but even now...who wants to send money to either company?

This shouldnt' be taken as a flame, it's not meant to be a flame, just an observation, but I think you're going to see the demise of both companies, possibly before any lawsuits ever get settled. It's too confusing. Everyone seems like they are lying, and nothing seems "legitimate".

While the measily $4000 in sales from my little group is probably a drop in the bucket of paintball, we can't be alone. Somebody better do something, or I'd place money that both companies will fold, at least for US sales. It's just bad business.

Just really bad business.

exactly man, exactly. Last year I was looking for my first marker and wanting something milsim. Tippmann, Armotech and getrealpaintball.com's AT series were the only real choices. Then poof their web page goes dead, and I decide I better get the A5. I'm happy with the A-5, I can't say I've spent any more or less money as I would have purchased alot of upgrades for either. Either way, nobody wants to do business with a company in an unknown legal situation which could disolve either or both companies.

the Zeus pistol sells like mad!! out of my shop!!
so if you want one, just order it.

and i stand behind everything i sell myself and serve the customer first.
i can count the cost later.

i'm very old school in the world of business, i believe in a square deal on a good product.

i'm just a little guy, but the other 2 shops in town are feeling the bite i'm taking out of their shops just by being honest.

i don't have a field, i send my customers to their's.
i don't know **** about autocockers, so i send people to the shop that does.

if your marker develops a problem, i wil service it for free, if i sold it to you and i can't fix it right then and there, i'll give you one of my personell markers to play with till i get yours working, at no cost to you.

this is how my grandfather did business god rest him, and to this day people say that you can't find businesses that care for you the way Shaw's did.
well I'm a Shaw and i'll treat you right, with respect, and i'll never lie to you.

if you lie you have to remember what you said to each person,
sorry, my head is too full for that kind of crap.
the truth comes out the same everytime, because it's the truth.
