Well, I bought my mag setup a few weeks ago, and after buying/trading some parts online, I currently have this setup:
PF mag, DYE 2x frame w/stickies, CP .689 14" black barrel, PMI Drop, SP foregrip, Nitro Duck 47/3000 tank.
Today was the first day I was able to use it after all those weeks (and my 4th time every playing) I was so psyched, that I arrived at the field far before anyone else. I wanted to make sure everyone worked fine, and lo and behold, it didn't. With some help from the field owner, we fixed it (tank was not hitting pin in ASA). I was ready to rock, but had to wait about 45 more mins to play my first game. In the meantime, I took a few practice shots. WOW! The mag is simply a beautiful machine. With the DYE 2x frame, the pull was very short + crisp. I was ready for my first match.....
First game starts up (each team starts at their own barrel and has to grab a flag at the opponent's barrel and return it). I'm a little nervous, but rip shots nonetheless. Man, those balls went god knows where around 75 feet. I thought it was a good paint-barrel match too... Oh well. Anyway, later in the game the mag is put to the test. I get in a firefight behind brush with a Automag RT-totin' player (earlier we talked briefly, and he said how it's just his "backup" and he just wanted to test it out). Lets just say, I reigned supremeIn the 2nd game, again, we had a little confrontation. I think you know who came out on top again
The games continued, and my mag performed just beautifully. No problems short-stroking (except in final speedball match when I tried to shoot too fast, boy what a mess). Overall, it was such a blast. I consider it my first REAL time playing because the other 3 times I've played I had very limited paint and rental gear. I ended up with about 4 eliminations and 3 kills, not many of either, both good + bad. I saw 2 micromags and an Automag RT, which is an extremely high percentage considering only about 10 people had their own markers. (Boy those angels are sweet) After looking back on the day, here are my pros and cons about my mag:
Pros:
-Compact (I could have just a small fraction of me showing and still rip off shots)
-Trigger (I know the DYE 2x has a lot to do with it, but it just was very smooth, crisp, and short)
-Looks (I love the looks, may not be as flashy as some of the angels I saw, but I think it's beautiful)
-Durability (Worked flawlessly all day even after being sprayed with paint game after game)
Cons:
-Consistency (At the chrono, I was ranging from 260's to 280's, and it was not rapid fire) What could be the cause of this? The nitro tanks were only being filled to about 1800PSI, could that be it? What could help get me more consistent shots?
The other con I had was accuracy, but that is not due to the marker. I was disappointed because I thought Team Colors in a .689 barrel would be just perfect, but paint was curving unbelievably)
All I have to do now is wait till next Saturday!
