I attended my first tournament yesterday, the Pursuit Cup, in Columbus, Ohio. I noticed that there were very few Automags. There were alot of electro's but there were also a ton of Cockers, more than I would have thought. I bought my Mag so that I would have a gun that I can upgrade and maybe play 5-6 tourney's a year. I have not even played with my Mag yet and already I'm not sure if I bought the right gun. After seeing all the electro's and Cockers I'm thinking I may be out gunned. Can my Mag hang with those other guns, they seemed really fast(I have not shot my Mag yet). I have already added: Vertical adapter, ACI exp chamber, J&J 2 piece barrel, Shocktech drop forward, Dye 2x grip frame, Stickies and trigger. I have about 560.00 in my gun already, did I goof????

sure u can hang with them just fine, but i would recomend a intelliframe with intellifeed if u have a fast finger. mags will start commin back to tourneys when more e-mags get out into the world

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!! A Mag with Imtelliframe and ReTro Valve is all you need for fire power. If someone sprays ten shots in my general direction, and I carfully fire two shots into their face, does it matter if your rate of fire doubles mine?

erac... Go return all that stuff if you haven't used it and buy an intelliframe, retro, and nitro for a nice setup for a mag...

Erac, the problem will be that you are out gunning them. Put that in your pipe and smoke it! HA!!!:D

Mags rule, you may have goofed on the frame though. But a mag can keep up with most guns.

ENDO!

I'm stuck with everything I have. I already installed the stuff on my gun. I have a 68ci 3000 tank that I cant get filled(45 min away for ca) I'm in the process of building 2 16oz anti-siphon co2 tanks to play local rec ball, but my SP on/off's are not in yet. Like I said, I havent even shot my mag yet, so it may be as fast as those other guns. I was just surprised how fast everyones guns were. I thought Cockers and Mags were about equal, but if that's true and Mags are more reliable why were there so many Cockers being used.

There WERE alot of electro's at the Pursuit Cup. Just a guess but:

60% were Angels
20% were Autocockers
8% were Mags (E, Mini, & Classics)
5% were Smart Parts
The rest were Bushys, Tippmans, spyders, others
