Does anybody know as of today what companies own which other companies, and which ones kinda work together,
Examples
Empire owns
BT
JT

If I didn't buy so many guns for the sole purpose of fondling them i'd be a very rich man.

Am I the only one that when they see FEP QUEST they read it as FAP-QUEST then chuckle silently?

I was under the impression that Tippmann purchasing Angel IP was just a rumor, and didn't actually happen.

GI Sportz owns Draxxus, but that DXS/DLX can be confusing (DLX is the partner/subsidiary/whatever to GOG). The confusion comes in with the .50 cal stuff, where GI Sportz .50 cal markers were just resized and rebranded Smart Parts markers.

Amazone owns Dangerous Power. Summit Partners is a capital/equity firm that has a major investment in Tippmann. I'm not sure if Summit counts as an owner or not - I would say not.

G.I. also owns Machine, and KEE owns some of the patents on some of the Smart Parts "High End" guns. I also don't know if it has been said that Dye owns Proto.

Pretty sure GI is just a distributor for Machine. Also, Proto isn't a separate company, just a different brand that Dye created.
