Here is how this started…
A new member, ahellers, asked what he would call his mag and he gave a description of it.
Ha Ha, that gives me an idea! (My nerd colors are showing)
We should figure out some set way to name customized mags. A sort of taxonomic nomenclature of Automags. :rofl:
(CLASSICUS HYPEROUS) :cool:
the valve followed by most notable upgrade.
if you hurry up and post a set of rules to govern it, you could be hailed as the greatest mag nerd ever...
or made fun of for about 3 days... then again in 2 weeks when someone stumbles upon that post and revives it.. then again in 2 months... going on and on into eternity.
So here is my first attempt...
Moe’s Taxonomic Nomenclature of Automags (Naming your Automag.)
By: MoeMag
March 16, 2006
Abstract
The Automag has been in existence for well over a decade, and in its time it has evolved into many different families and species of Automags. This is my attempt at organizing a convention for naming Automags appropriately bared upon their respective attributes. I by no means take this seriously, especially the use of Wild E. Coyote Latin, and thus present this as a gag, but who knows maybe it will be a hit. For further background to learn of the origins of this project, other than an excess of time and lack of a girlfriend, please refer to the following thread.

Those of you who take this with any seriousness, I am open to any suggestions in regards to the naming process.
First Name
To begin the primary component of the Automag is the valve assembly. This being so, the make and model of the valve should be held in high regard. Thus I dub the valve models as being the first name classifying an Automag. A Classic is any of the pre-RT valves that were made of stainless steel, built with the original A.I.R. valve design. A caveat to this designation would be a second name for sidearm, minimag, and rental, as these valves hold a distinction of their own.
Example:
Classicus, Classicus-minimus, Classicus-sideous, and finnaly the Classicus-stolen.
Following the classic valve is what has become known as the RT Classic. This valve is distinguished by its stainless steel construction and the application of the banjo bolt to make use of the gas through body. I thus dub it the RTous-clawhammer. (A “claw hammer banjo” is the pinnacle in hillbilly entertainment)
The introduction of the ReTro valve, later to become known as the pro-rt, is identified as generally being two colors, made of stainless steel, and having the RT trigger action of its predecessor, with increased compatibility with the original A.I.R. valve platform.
All incarnations of this valve will simply be known as, RTous.
The X-valve was a further evolution of RT valve. The use of lightweight high strength aluminum made this valve the pinnacle of AGD valves. An appropriate descriptive name would be the RT-aluminous, however the common name in this case is too widely accepted, thus it will be the Xous.
The only exception in which the valve type does not contribute to the first name will be in the case of the E-Mags and X-Mags. Their fist name will be Emagous or Xmagous.
Second Name(s)
The second name of an Automag should be one that denotes one of its basic components (body, bolt, on/off assembly, rail, and triggerframe) that varies the greatest from original Automag equipment. Original Automag equipment will be defined as having; a bead blasted power feed body, a level 7 bolt, valve specific original on/offs, any of the non-ULE rails, and single trigger carbon fiber trigger frame. An Automag equipped entirely of original Automag equipment will thus be called Originaum. Due to the extraordinary diversity of possible aftermarket and modifications, some individual creativity will be required.
EDIT: Being that the warp feed is a very distinctive innovation of AGD, The warp feed can be included after the primary upgrade as a second name as per this example (Classicus-minimus originaum warpus)
Following are some examples of widespread species of Automags.
(Classicus Originaum) A proclassic
(Classicus-minimus Originaum) A minimag
(Classicus LVLX) No, that is not classic valve # 105
(RTous-clawhammer Originaum) Original RT
(RTous Intelliframe) Pro RT with an Intelliframe.
(Classicus Hyperous) < started this whole thing
(Emagous Thunnus) Tuna customized E-Mag
(Emagous Devil/oculus) Devilmag, with eyes
(Xous tacunous) tac-one.
(Xous Kartious) x-valve with karta body
Any further distinctions for extensively modified guns or need for being specific for technical purposes should be made using an addendum in the following manner. However they do not qualify as being their own species, merely various races and individuals of that species.
(Xous Intelliframe, LVL10,ULE,ULT)
Valve Primary upgrade, addendums
Conclusion
It is very late and I want to go to sleep. :sleeping:
Please feel free to try and add to the list of Automag Species, and let me know if I made any mistakes. I hope that everyone gets a few laughs out of this. I sure did.
