I agree. With all this patent talk, this issue could have been adressed. It smells of PR to me but thats just an opinion. If you think about it, what are most people gonna think when they read the article... PR or lead times.... I don't know one story in paintball that has had as much hype, besides maybe the Avalanche ordeal at the world cup, but that died down pretty quickly. I think most forum users will find this article a little dodgy or just a little surprised that there is no mention of this issue.
