Thought I'd share this story with you guys.

I played in an Old School Mechanical 3 man tournament yesterday and I decided to use my 68 Classic Automag. My marker got more looks and comments then any other gun that day. It was kind of awesome.

One guy was just staring at it so I said hey whats up and he told me "sorry man i just haven't seen a mag in a long time, I was just checking it out."

Another guy called his buddies over to have them check the marker out. (this was the team using all WGP Autocockers too lol)

I was put on a throw together team with two relatively new players (although one of the kids could play the snake like nobodies business) as I decided to play the tournament last minute. We didn't finish good (5th place out of 8 teams) but the comments I received all day long about my Mag made up for it. I also found out later that day on the fields website I had alot of pictures of me taken as well lol. It twas a good day.

Mags are fairly uncommon at most of the fields that I frequent as well. I usually hear a few whispers around me at the beginning of the day. My favorite was when some kid who thought he had a clue started telling his friend all about E-Mags, and he was totally clueless himself. It was sad how misinformed he was.

That's for sure. I play at two local fields and i've never seen anyone shooting an Automag. The only time I see a lot of them is at the Michigan Monster Game at Hell Survivors every July.

Anyways, my Automag shot flawlessly all day. The only thing I really wasn't used to was the Feedneck and elbow sticking out like it does on a mag. Made it awkward for me when I switched hands.

I think that my area is an exception, as a couple of local fields around here have a pretty good Mag user base. On any given weekend there are always 5 or 6 Automags on the field.

But I'll admit, it's always fun to get comments and looks from people who either don't know what a Mag is or haven't seen one in ages.

Ive noticed a lot of younger players noticing my mags as well, some actually even recognize that theyre mags though most are just wondering what kind of guns they are.

[sQuidvision]

there seem to be a fair number of mag users here in minnesota, though i usually just see them at the larger scenario events. that said i still get crazy looks if i walk on the field with something like a warp feed!

[steve_81]

After seeing all these posts it appears to me that Michigan sure is lacking Automag users. lol I want to pick up a few more Automags relatively soon but I impulse bought a PE Etha Paintball marker not to long ago so the dream of owning a few more Automags is going to have to wait until at least another paycheck or two lol

I play 90% of the time at Albany Scenario Club, Up State NY in Nassau NY. The club owner owns a few mags/emags and on any given day I'll see a few generic mags (classics and RT Pros)

Playing with a non classic/ULE bodied mag will always get looks and questions on what it is. Although I do get the most looks when playing with a warp feed. Everyone wants to hold the gun to see how it balances, they'll usually always comment on how unbalanced it is. lol The players who shoot newers guns from PE or bob long will comment on how heavy it is, which it kinda is

Regardless of the mag people are playing with, they'll get compliments on it, same with autocockers as well

I showed up at a 3man tourney 3 or 4 years ago with a mag and everybody was eyeing it asking if I was really gonna play with it. There were even a few people who were adamant about it not RT'ing, I asked one guy who was standing there holding a brand new Ego if was really that concerned about my mag RT'ing or the battery going out in his marker, lol I put on a good showing with it, even though the kids I played those few tournaments with couldn't seem to get it together. Somebody always wanted to check the mag out at each event, and people still do at big games regardless of which one I break out the bag.

Me and my friend run Mags almost exclusively. 99.9% of the time we are the only guys with a mag on the field. Most of the time no one here notices until we keep up with or out shoot the newest electro's running around. After the first 2 games there is always someone asking what they are.

I did get lectured for using my mag in a small tournament a little while ago. It was something about unregulated full auto. But they couldn't complain after i shoot it over the chrono at 12 bps .

[eelz]

it seems to me that more people are buying 'mags here in the UK too, I only used to see 1-3 in big scenario games and now it's much more.

old school is definitely becoming new school

Yeah, the tourney I was in you couldn't RT at all. Thought it was kinda silly but I still gogged people at each event with it shooting one trigger pull one ball at a time, lol. I might have been shooting 3-6 bps

Nice. I gogged one guy in the dorritos. He was snap shooting at me using an Autococker. He popped up and it was perfect. I watched the Paintball break right in the middle of his mask.

I love it when that happens lol

Yeah my favorite part about a good gogg shot is they can't wipe that one, lol.

I play at ALbany Scenario Club a lot of the time as well, and i only use my mags. You'll probably see me there this weekend with my completed V.E.R Mag and my RT Micromag.
