I think it's only a matter of time. I guess I'm impatient,and that's why I posted...to gauge what others had to say. Everytime I take mine somewhere, it's a hit with the other players. I guess I expect them to know what kind of gun it is, and the vast majority don't. So I always have to explain it to them. Also, like I said, the replies that I get when I ask about these is almost always the same. I think that the biggest issues are: lack of upgrades and misconceptions about the maintenance. Now, I'm almost positive that third party upgrades are going to start appearing sometime next year. I've seen enough interest to warrant this. If that does in fact start happening, then more players will see these products in person, which should help dispell any misconceptions. Also, more products floating around will help increase awareness. I haven't had any problems with mine since I've owned it, so I feel the product is strong enough to sell in larger quantities. Once people know that the HPA versions are strong, then I'm confident that we'll see a resurgence. Also, to you Gumby, I think that once dealers see the renewed interest in them, they'll chose to learn more about them. I'm pretty sure that it's possible to become a factory authorized tech, so what you mentioned might become a moot point.
