Have not posted in a long time, partly work and partly just kind of disenchanted with my Mag since I went Lvl 10. I never could get the velocity up above 275 without venting and even then I was suffering from tremendous velocity variations (average was like 250 +/- 25 fps). Lots of advice, tried them all but nothing worked. That low velocity took away a big part of my game and just left me kind of cold to the Mag.
:mad:
Recently I checked back on the board and saw that AGD finally brought out a Lvl 10 rated regulator body and I decided to give it one last try. Got it, put it in, and played with it on Saturday. To make a long story short it fixed all the problems and really made my Mag sing! I'm in love all over again, there are not many markers that can do that!
:D
The first time at the chrono it would only shoot 275 +/- 15, better but not great and a terrible gas hog. I shot my bottle (about 400 paintballs) and then I had to adjust it up again but this time it held +/-10 @ 280 and I could shoot 500. By the fourth time out I was able to shoot 288 +/- 2 fps and 600 or so shots out of 68/3000. Obviously something was breaking in.
Its amazing how much a difference that made in my game, with this setup my long ball came back, I'm not a back player by nature but I do find that its useful to use the long ball to push people into a bunker right before I move in order to get extra time to make a move.
I'm a happy Mag owner again.
