other than a one-on-one, with my bud, this was the first real game I had.
The first game I survived and was not hit, nor did I hit anyone
The second game, I shot my friend in the top part of the mask, but it bounced off, and he got me in the arm later on.
It was great! The only non-great thing was, I chopped 3 or 4 times.
I am thinking that this might have been because I am not used to the gun quite yet. On of the guys said to me when we were done something like "well, a mag is out of the picture, it chops too much" I wanted to say to him, "The mag doesn't chop, I chop." but it didn't come to me until later. I really think it was my fault cause I was short stroking all over the place. I had just gotten the new intelliframe, and this was the second time I had ever used it. I must have chopped two times by short stroking or something, but then I chopped while shooting regularly. The thing was, the chopped ball was a different ball than the main thing I was shooting(I had like 10 left in the hopper so I just put new paint in along with them, so I had a few Big Balls left and the rest were PMI. When it got to the Big Ball, it chopped. Was this because the paint was different, or a different size than the paint all around it, so it didn't feed correctly? The last thing I want is my mag chopping, and I really don't think it chops a lot, just that an automag is different than other guns, its more particular to how you use it, and you have to get a good feel of it or something. Never did it chop on me when I was in a fire fight, only on the sides, and practice, so that was good. But I have a Big Game coming up and I was wondering is there anything else I can do besides running more paint through it and getting used to the trigger? Yes I oil it and clean is just about every time I use it. would a fomieless bolt work? What about that one long bolt I was hearing about that you could only go 11 bps but with no chops. I really think the problem was not in the gun, but still, it lame when people see it happen and say, "oh, mags chop too much"
well, I guess I'll just have to get more used to it. Any other suggestions? When I get enough experience behind me, I am sure the guys I play with won't be so quick to talk about my mag if ya know what I mean:)
