    What!? wow. didn’t see that coming. but it’d be great for both companies. KEE can really market to the incoming crowd to paintball and Kingman can keep producing amazing guns that seem to last forever (my AMG Classic worked after like 4 years of non-use lol).

    this may be a great thing though

    KEE acquiring Spyder and Vanguard? Talk about recession proof. Capitalize while others are down

    the most important word is “rumor”… Kee has the distribution of the .43 cal from Kingman… that’s a stretch to call that a buyout…

  4. Boss says:

    They distribute all Kingman markers.
