tons of people shoot it. I have one, and I know a few people who shoot alien religiously.

problem is, Jack Rice, over at Alien is a bit of a hard head when it comes to defending his products till the day he dies and there's a lot of people who bag on him. for his business and personal practices.

i refuse to support Alien solely because of jack rice.... the way he handles himself on the forum isnt acceptable in my book... he may make a good gun, but the guy is a douche when interacting with people on here that question his claims or have proven him wrong.... because of his actions he is one of the few companies i will never support, zodiak and machine paintball are 2 others because of their owners and how they interacted with each other on the forums...

I'm sure they're fine guns, but c'mon... at least try and make the body match up with the frame when you design a gun.

as a $650 gun, it often gets overlooked as a mid-end and the fact that alien is a smaller company both add to why you don't see to many of them.

they arent that popular since most stores dont sell them, and since they arent popular, other stores dont sell them and the cycle continues...

i agree with you... but if someone is attacking your findings or your company or what not, then the best response is a tactful and respectful response... no sense in sinking to teh attackers level in public... save that for the private messages and such... thats why i wont support companies like alien, i have no respect for their owners based on how they interact with their porential buyers/users on public forums like this one...

respect isnt given, its earned

When did all this happen? I'm curious to see what they've said. I've heard a little about how Jack Rice handles himself, but not about the others.

Do you blame him when what makes his guns unique is turned into a meme where %40 of the forum is being disrespectful children? I agree, earn respect and earn customers and yeah he's a little bit.......hardheaded....but at the same time the forum as a whole isn't innocent.

i am not claiming the forum to be innocent... there are plenty people here i see act in ways that i dont approve of or respect... i am jsut more vocal about it when its a person in the industry, and not just a player... and i dont see this meme you are talking about, if a person has a rep there is a reason for it...

The product makes the first purchase, the customer service makes the repeat purchase.

What I tell myself. Sure, the product is great, but like some have said, I'm not going to just comeback for the product if the company isn't respectful about it.

The Invasion I had was very very nice. I was incredibly impressed with it for the price.

In another thread Jack himself said that Seattle Thunder never shot them at any event. I've heard this rumor before though - what's the real background on what happened there?

That's between Jack Rice and Seattle Thunder. A 50,000 person forum doesn't need to have access to it.
