that my mag is really the new manual Shocker? :D I did this to a kid yesterday. I had some kid convinced that my classic powerfeed mag was a Shocker :D :dance:

not LMAO, but this is lame.
EDIT: I withdraw my previous comment thus it has been deleted. While this is douchetastic, I assumed you convinsed the kid to buy based on this false premise. My comment was based on this, so it was overly harsh based on the situation at hand.

Yes you are the only one who...

Why would you want to promote SP? Alot of us get asked what kind of shocker is that? But nobody tries to convince them it is. That's just in bad form. :nono:

See, I'm wanting to try that the other way around. Shave down the plastic body into a roughly AGD ULE shape, paint a "valve" on the back, and try to convince ppl it's a mag...

...heresy, i know...

I have had someone ask me if the feed tube on my VSC phantom was a sight or a scope. That wasn't nearly as bad as someone kid confusing my E-Mag with a Shocker....almost slapped the taste out of his mouth.

I play woodsball from time to time with a group at my school. I board and we're not allowed to have cars on campus so I don't get to the field nearly often enough but this is ok. One kid saw the stock dye grips on my rt ule and thought it was the new dye "dmx", lol.

on the topic of the patch, i've always wondered about the slogan. is it "because quality always shoots straight" or "because quality shoots straight, always"?

and i've had a few people ask what parts i put on my shocker to look like that. but more often than not cause i live not too far from AGD i get more people commenting on how they haven't seen an emag in a while.

I had the exact same reaction the other night when I took my emag to a local indoor place. Tons of kids asking me what it was. I think my favorite moments were:

A kid asked me what kind of regulator I was using, I told him none, it was built into the valve. Eyes bug out.

The ref that wanted to hold it, picked it up and said:

"Wow, I thought these were supposed to be heavy!" (I have an RPG Exile body and Shadow Rail), when he held it up, he said: "OMG, what a low profile, I need one of these!"

I can't wait to show up with my warp attached next time.

The best thing though, was that I was expecting comments on how I should upgrade to something newer, but nothing like that was said at all. There were just so may comments on what great markers AGD makes.

Made a Daddy proud!

it is quality always shoots straight. Follow the banner left to right. It is shaped like it is flapping in the wind, but you still read it from left to right.

And somehow I never noticed that section of the store. Oh well, gotta get one now, but it's not worth doing just a $7 order... What else do I need? :shooting:

So does the Talk function disable the Shoot function? Probably not good for scenario ball... :rofl:

That might be funny, but honesltly you can't say thats true. I know my guns {well most} inside and out. I guess I own a variety or guns, mags, nerve, imps, spyders, you name it I know it.

Some kid once asked me "When did they start making Shockers with powers feeds?"

I shot him a look and said it was a rare prototype. He told all of his friends and they were all so afraid of me. The field owner and a couple refs and I all had a good laugh.

Ahh... newbs. Heck, I'm surprised they even knew what power feed is!

I didnt mean to offend anyone when I said its true I just meant that some people, not all people, just go out and buy a gun based on there reputation. I have never shot an angel so i cant judge its performance or whatever....

Why do you all find it so funny that the Mag is such an anachronism that few even know what it is? Do you think that's the sign of a healthy product line? Do you think people ever asked an Ion owner what he's shooting?


Uggh. Pay no attention to those flames and keep fiddling - everything's fine.

I find it funny because most of the tourney ballers around me hate Automags with a passion (seriously), but very few actually know mine is one (I mean, c'mon. Polished body? Anti chop? That can't be a 'mag! at least that's waht they think...)

I seldom admit what I'm shooting until after a few games, so I, or my gun, don't get harped on.
