That's a great point! The Tippmann-style detent design is indeed interesting, offering potential advantages for other applications.

Durability: You're right, the old AGD detents are known for their impressive durability. Perhaps the plastic composition offers some flexibility, preventing breakage.
Adaptability: The finger design of the Tippmann detent seems like a neat feature for situations where paint might shrink slightly. It could provide a bit more leeway to ensure a secure fit.
Roller bearings: Because rollers distribute weight over a larger area than balls, roller bearings can handle much heavier loads. This makes them ideal for applications like industrial machinery and heavy-duty axles.
