Regardless of where theyre machined, they still suck. I wont go into the **** fit and finish, the pot metal feedneck clamp arm, and the poor performance if it isnt lubed exactly right(with vaseline if dow 55 doesnt work? Come on.). Vanguard Demons are absolutely the most unreliable, finicky, ******* markers Ive ever had the displeasure of owning. Their customer service sucks, and from what Ive heard the owner just called it quits so vanguard is looking to sell the company.
Suck it Vanguard.

What does vanguard bring to the psp/nppl? Its their own fault for releasing a marker that obviously wasn't ready, the demon would be a great gun if they would of gotten rid of the qevs and kept the tolerances of the V1 can. The creed on the other hand was amazing mine always worked and shot great.

Bill, undetstand the back story not just what you want to hear.
Mismanaged, the owner dosnt care and they have a product not even they can seem to fix. These are areas that are set up fore sure failure to anyone.
Not funny they are closing funny that someone would post this up because hes upset with issues beyond his control.

Let me add that mine had v2 parts.. machined so tight I couldnt figure out how to make the bolt not stick unless I magically happened to lube it right that day. Fact is I traded for a luxe, it came with a broken power button, busted light pipe, and paint caked everywhere, the first two because of shipping error, the last just because of laziness. Point is, Id much rather have the ****ed up Luxe than a demon anyday.
Im sorry to get off topic, continue with your vapor discussion. I firmly believe the Vapor (sight unseen) to be a quality marker, as Ive only heard good things on their first product released (as Machine) Thats how it should be. Vanguard effed up hard when they gave you the shaft poo, you were the only person keeping that company alive.

its not a good thing if vanguard goes under. we need more selection and high quality product. yes things can get finicky, its paintball, its trial and error. give vanguard a few more years and i bet they can make a damn good gun.

no, but too the paintball world it would be a benefit if anything, they dont bring much to the table i would fully support them if their CS would actually nut up and fix the guns and replace the parts insted of giving their customers half *** fixes. I delt with shootnpoo several times and he treated me right, jason on the other hand well thats another thing.

- No Upping threads. If you have something to say, please do, but don't post in the thread just to take it to the top of the forum.
- Do not post "1st post", "1st", "First post" or anything similar (or with any other number) at any point in a thread, even if you post a comment too. It is really annoying and it will result in a ban.
- If you don't like something, say why instead of just calling it ugly, lame, gay or any other name. If it is old, simply post a link or report the post with a link to the older News thread.
- Please don't post links for places to buy items. That encourages stores, sponsored players and other people to do it and spam the site.
