Wow...they are all amazing...I expecially like Phantomhitmans...but this one is just so clean looking. All it needs is a new foregrip...TunaPack

What do the judges count for the time cutoff, original posting or last edit?

What do the judges count for the time cutoff, original posting or last edit?

check the other thread i just commented on that

i rechecked with all the judges and their picks. if you guys want to see the complete tally i can post it but i ddint want to post all the guns with 1 vote/s

[LudavicoSoldier]

Ack! Could you please use the other picture I posted, which is the closer shot of the body? We are not judging my airsystem or loader! :D

[fire1811]

I like Duzzys

[Chronobreak]

everyone has a side view of their gun

fair enough ;) :cool:

[jewie27]

Dryden. I should have made it here. It took me 5 years to do the custom work on my gun.

[punkncat]

Luca, that is one sharp Eblade.

[LudavicoSoldier]

Luca, that is one sharp Eblade.

Thanks! It will be recieving an E2 and black eclipse pnumatics, a 2K4 Conquest, and a VictoryB as soon as I can afford it.

Chrono-

Not to be a pain in the arse, but get my handle right if you could. Haha I guess we expect great things after the rule of DJ89. The only reason I said something about which photo you chose was that the other photo shows the milling much much better, since we have to submit smallish pictures.

Uhm, your gun isn't all that good looking there champ. And being as it took you five years to assemble a bunch of parts and have someone else put on trigger stops doesn't mean.. uh, anything.

[p8ntball365]

NO TEXT POST
keep an eye on this thread there may be some sudden changes


Rules:
1. You must own the gun to enter it.
Also, if it is for sale, pending, on ebay, etc. DO NOT ENTER YOUR MARKER! (judges may not enter)

yeah a bunch of parts. That's what paintguns are made of... What's yours made of?

Oh yeah, just because it's not a ULE Mag doesn't mean it doesn't look good. :tard:

jewie, sry you didnt get nominated to the top5 but you WERE nominated.

your mag is nice but face it there were just nicer guns...

infact if matt would have been known to have been a dq it would then be btwn your mag and the other custom rail/foregrip one

[SpecialBlend2786]

Does phantomhitman's have some sort of eyes installed?

[phantomhitman]

i am stuck between deydens and lucas to vote for............. :confused:

special blend, i do have eyes installed. you are looking at the very first devilmag. i have to get my gun reanoed because of technical difficutlies with my ano company........so sad :(

ah that explains it!

thats awesome, looks great with the DW body and CnC battery back. Nice work :hail:

[phantomhitman]

the ano was right until they dyed it. i asked for a dust pewter/gray, i should have asked for dust grey instead. but whatever, who needs $150 :rolleyes:

Mine's made of a bunch of parts. I don't think it should win any contests because of how long it took me to save up for off the shelf parts, however.

And no, you're wrong, it does look bad with that body.

None of the parts are "off the shelf". I started with a brand new stock Minimag.

I bought the Y-Grip, X-Valve, Flatline, Warp Feed, Ricochet, Foregrip, Lapco ASA, CP Rail, Dovetail mount....

So you got an ugly grip, an ugly loader, an ugly warp.. and kept it on an ugly body. Had you taken fives years to design and build your own warp body and frame, that's be one thing. But it took you five years to bolt on a gripframe, swap out valves, and put on a flatline tank. Sounds like you really just had to save up cash. A Dallara'd, custom anno'd 'Mag is one thing, but a mismatched black minimag.. isn't.

Didn't really have to save that much. The X-Valve wasn't out 5 years ago. I started with a stock valve, then LX ReTro Valve. Before the Y-Grip was the single trigger then Intelliframe. by the way, say whatever you want about the '05 Ricochet Apache that feeds 20 BPS. It's lighter weight than what you got and doesn't jam. Plus I never ever get shot in the hopper. I don't have to bend my wrist like you do. In the end, it's all about performance.



Mismatched... Sure buddy. They are all genuine AGD parts, except for the CP rail.

[phantomhitman]

jewie, let it go man. if you want my spot then take it, just stop complaining about how you should be in here rather than other people. in fact, every single gun has off of the shelf parts except mine which is one of for the time being. mine still has bolt on parts like the frame, body-rail, and other paintball parts just liek everyone elses. it took me over 2 years to get my gun where it is now, but i wouldnt mine if someone posted a dm5 bone stock and won. time has nothing to do with it, the overall look does. sometimes money does equate to a better performing and looking marker.

[Flow_Tech]

MatMC-s entry isnt DQ'd..he wouldnt ever sell that gun,ive talked to him about it,hes just testing the waters..

[p8ntball365]

then why post for sale wiithout the intent to sell?

I'm not complaining. That guy won't lay off of me. He started it all........

[matmc89]

Actually I am no longer selling streamline, I just put it up to test the waters. Read bottom post of my thread, I decided to keep it.
Sorry about confusion...I forgot that I entered it in GOTM when I put it up f/t. Its no longer f/t or f/s.

[MadChild]

matmc89 for president

[teufelhunden]

No, I responded to you saying your gun should be up here.

It shouldn't and it isn't for a reason.

[p8ntball365]

well my vote is for matmc 89 regardless that is an extremely nice marker.

[matmc89]

that one is fine...

Actually a few people that saw this thread have told me that my picture just shows a red X

[hgryhgryhipo04]

My vote is for Mattmc89. And why would you guys think he would actually trade that beast? Look at it....you would have to be on crack to get rid of it

[MadChild]

fix matmc89's pic!! its just a red x

[Chronobreak]

fix matmc89's pic!! its just a red x

works fine for me and everyone else it seems

btw since its an attachment it might be AO's fault

[matmc89]

Ok, seems to be fixed. Thanks

[hgryhgryhipo04]

The pic of Matt's gun doesn't work for me...but it's beauty has been burned into my mind and I shall never forget it...

^^^In case original picture does not work. This one also does it soooo much more justice.

[mattpball]

Since you posted that Mattmc's gun was dq'd didn't that maybe keep people from voteing for him therefore giveing him a disadvantage?

[phantomhitman]

Since you posted that Mattmc's gun was dq'd didn't that maybe keep people from voteing for him therefore giveing him a disadvantage?

or he could have been easily dq'ed because you are NOT suppose to post it for sale at all, regardless if you want to test the waters or not. i could care less who wins, but there are a few complaints in this months contest alone. just let the vote settle it.

[MadPSIence]

what's everyone crying about. it's a free open poll for gun of the month... for ONE MONTH. not forever. quit *****ing and buck up till next month if you're mad.

[matmc89]

not trying to complain too much, but its almost over and its very close for 1st..and my picture doesn't show up...

[Chronobreak]

thats aos fault, been having attachment problems

feel free to ady any pics you can if u want ,il try and rehost it if you want or you can yourself if you have something

--edit now this is a nice tight race :D

[matmc89]

Ok, well heres another one then...Wanna add it to front page in place of the other one, since I doubt most people read the 2nd before they vote, it would be harder to win with a red X :rolleyes:

DRYDEN!

as well as having more votes it appears matt89 wil be dq'd for selling his gun here and on pbn as well.

also having about 5 votes that didnt count even if he isnt/wasnt dq'd dryden had hin beat by a good 6-7 votes

:clap: DRYDEN :clap:

you will be PM'd about your prize :headbang:

[CrimsonGhost]

Congrats Dryden. :cheers:

[Duzzy]

Just curiousity, what are the chances that you can creatively pronouce my SN as "Dryden"? Just kidding, anyways congrats Dryden.

[Dryden]

Whoa, thanks! Congrats to everyone that made the final five, and thanks to everyone that voted for me.

After talking things over with the significant other, we've both agreed that I don't want to ano my nickel/silver Dallara-X, and she love the Mag that I just built for her ...

So, presuming the free dust black ano was still a prize, if both Joe (White Wolf, WWA) and phantomhitman agree, than phantomhitman can have the ano. PROVIDED: that phantomhitman has his DevilMag done. I know, from both this thread and others, that he wasn't satisfied with the original ano he had done, so if he'd like his DevilMag done in dust black, he can have it.

If not ... then all bets are off :ninja: I've got a Z-Grip that's looking for some luvin'. :)

Really, I think phantomhitman deserves a lot of credit. He has DevilMag #1 and took a lot of time to answer all of our dumb questions. Functionally, his marker would outperform mine anyday of the week and twice on Sunday. Finally, he was man enough to step up and, aside from offering someone his own spot in the GOTM, he voted for someone aside from himself.

He earned it. If the vote hadn't been 44-44 when I logged in last night, I would've voted for him.

um, wow :eek:
i really cannot even think of what to type right now. i cannot accept this as a free gift, I can chip in some cash for you dryden. thank you VERY much for the kid words also. i need to get in touch with wwa or whoever is in charge of the ano process to see the time frame i am looking at, but if everything works out ill take the dust black ano. it will have to wait at least a week due to the upcoming ultimate madness tourney though.
i am sending you a pm dryden. you deserved to win in my opinion, even though I am a die hard electro gun nut, i still like nice clean lines and simple setups. just tired of the little complaints about htis "competition", i was just happy to make it as a finalist.

[p8ntball365]

Congrats Dryden. looks like im a good detective.

[zeroack]

Ya know....people can moan and complain about the state of paintball and that it's all gone down hill. I give you this as a example that it hasn't. I've seen acts like Dryden did here by giving up his anno at my own field. People letting people play with there cool rigs for a game, loaning out hoppers, loaning out tanks, even giving up some paint. Yea there are a few bad apples....but I think for the most part...it's all good.

Congrat's guyz!

Zero

[White Wolf]

Phantomhitman: no problem on the ano I have black going out on a regular basis for production parts so when ever is good for you.

Dryden: no problem doing your frame also since you really exemplify the spirit that is lacking in most online forums willing to give up your prize for some one else.

I know the timeframes maybe shor but if yuo want in on the Girl tiger or Woodland camo ano we could do that instead of the dust black also.

now im really speachless.............
white wolf, what is the best way to get in touch with you, phone, aim, or email? i am leaving at 5 am tomorrow to go to the ultimate madness tourney in west virginia, so i kind of need my devilmag until tuesday of next week. after i get back its all yours to ano dust black perfection (i am a simple person). this offer not only shows your enjoyment for paintball, it shows you are willing to give away an ano to paintball players and then offer to ano 2 guns when another generous player offers to give up his ano for me. i will be speaking with you more in the coming days.

dryden-I have alrady talked to you via pm, thanks again so much for the offer. i will never forget this.

i am out for the time being, if you respond white wolf before i leave i will give you any needed info about the gun or time frame that you need. thanks again for everything guys.

[ICP]

wow, this and the fact that mags are great in general, is why I left so many other forums, to come here.

Great people, great dealers, great company.

Congrats everyone.

[AGD202]

lol, congrats to dryden and phantom.... thats a badass prize to be getting.... but so much drama... almost made me wanna cry :cry: lol

anyways, have fun w/ ur stuff... and by the way... dryden Minimags with setups like urs... all clean and not gawdy have always and will always look the best in my oppinion

[Chronobreak]

phantom- e-mail him or just get a hold of me and i will relay the message.

btw as for the other anno colors if anyone is interested your welcome to jump in the batch(for a nominal fee of course;)) :ninja:

[p8ntball365]

What color is the batch going to be for? Can WWA do x-valves?

[Chronobreak]

What color is the batch going to be for? Can WWA do x-valves?


black,lady tiger, and camo as posted

x-vavles arent reccomended to be reannod

if you want a custom annod x-vavle youl need a raw one.talk to Tunaman about that.

--edit pm me please for further inquires no need to keep this thread up.
