To the few people here I won't name..

[MadPSIence]

Alright something has been bugging me since a little after I joined and I need to get it off my chest.

I've noticed there are quite a few posters here on AO who frankly, disrespect mags every opportunity they get. I am talking about calling mags useless and unworthy of any tourny play, every time someone praises a mag or is curious about the performance of said mag..

Everyone here knows that mags aren't quite on par with guns like Intimidators, Angels, etc.. but it's very clear that mags are no slouch. I'll stop there. This thread is not and will not be about whether mags are good/bad/whatever

My question is.. if you come to post on AO.. yet only heat debate and then argument about them.. why do you even post on this site? If you don't own mags, don't like mags and are demented on your love for other guns... maybe you should find a forum to your liking.

Sure it's a forum where you can talk about anything paintball, and even unrelated but the title of the site is automags.org, this site is the spawn of AGD and the majority of the population here owns or loves mags. Why are you few people so demented that you stay here.. rack up 1000+ posts and yet continue to bash mags every chance you get?

You've all right to post here, I'm no mod and can't tell you otherwise. But I can say.. quit being a complete crap and shut up if you don't like mags. Nobody here wants to hear from you. The "Mag" subject has been debated to heck and you're just a thorn in the rear.

I know exactly who you're referring to.

I know exactly who you're referring to.

Eh.. 50% of people probably do but I don't care to make this a directly personal thread unless someone wants to come forth. Even then, flaming is not needed. Criticism on the other hand..

some people( me included) owned a mag and frequented this place. THen we moved on gun wise for various reasons but saw no reason to leave here. Then we read posts made by people who talk bad about our guns while praising their mags and we get frustrated. I've seen people post threads about new items and end up dealing with flames from mag owners. Blazestorm made a thread a little while ago about his sexy timmy and he had to deal with someone calling it "another plain old timmy." Plus there are the hypocrits who look past the mags obvious faults to bash newer higher end guns. Thats just my .02 though

You know, there is an angel sub-forum here.

Yeah, it would be just so much better if this site was just one big Automag circlejerk.

[SPECK]

If you post in an online forum, there will be opinions you do not like/ agree with.

With that said, either suck it up or don't post on them.

That isn't his point at all.
You havent been here long enough to see said point.

[Automaggot68]

With you at the pivot point.

I understand where you are coming from, and you do have a completely valid point. But there is constructive critisism here every once in a while, that is why I like mag "bashers" thoughts as well.

It would be better if people obligated to bash mags, would keep quiet; or, simply leave if they do not have that self control.

this site IS automags.org, once again, and that being said there should at least be a sense of role here to not come and call mags useless.

it's like.. some kid with a mustang going to a subaru forum and saying STi's suck on a regular basis and staying.

you're right. I have no problem with constructive criticism but it's really gone beyond that. The constructive part of the criticism these people have is long abused and repeated..

I wish they could all at one point hear the words "Mags aren't perfect, I don't care"

[tru_flip56]

I actually agree with you guys...i love mags but i come across certain people...all right....a lot of people here who bash them...I am also a part of AO (angelowners.com) and those guys love their product to death...almost everyone there has an angel or love it and stand by it. I hardly see any haters...its just a shame people here use this site to bash mags when in fact this site and its products are really really good...im not saying everyone should keep there opinions quite..just that they do it some other place...

[magman007]

Oh man, would you get over it? Half of you Madpsience included, are just as bad about praising mags as the wholy grail to all that is paintball than the mag bashers are to bashing them. I for one, do not bash them, but i will tell you, they arent all that some people on this site hype them up to be.

Get over it already, public board, public posters.

I know for a fact some of the bashers have been warned.

[Blazestorm]

When your latest marker came out in 2001... that's pretty bad -_- Or was the X-mag 2002?

SFL came out in 2001... or before it, cause I saw manny using it at 2001 cup.

Oh well.

Mags are cool, and I like them, but I'd never use them in a tournament. If it was one of my last options I'd probably take it... but for the most part I'll stick with my 05 dragon. Shooting zero-bounce paint from 3-4ft at 18bps... zero breaks/chops (Including barrel). And that was on triple-shot, I shoot 16-17 on semi. I couldn't shoot much more than 10 on my mag... it was inefficient... couldn't handle brittle paint... had that annoying 15" macroline...

I was just told by my friend who was an avid automag fan, only owned a spyder... minimag... and RT Pro (Which he had for 3-4 years). He mentioned to me when he gets back into it, he's probably just going to get an Ion.
