Alright, I really don't have too much a problem with mega-companies. Although, I have taken economics and I realize what can happen with monopolies. Now, are these mega companies helping paintball? The main one I can think of is Brass Eagle. Brass Eagle owns JT, and Viewloader. They push alot of weight when it comes to paintball. You look around and see their jerseys on every newbie, Brass Eagle's markers are in Wal-Mart, etc. Then there are other large companies like DYE and Smart Parts and Diablo (although they can be considered a mega company with their paint, markers and apparrel.). Some people are just die-hard small busiess types, and they are against big companies. I am all for the big companies. They have brought so much to paintball in innovation, lowering the price, and the quality of their goods are great. So are you mega company shopper or do you keep to the companies like Palmer, AKA, and other "custom" companies?
