[teufelhunden]

Has to be Kruger.

Interestingly though, I clicked Kruger and scrolled down to confirm my choice, scrolled back up and hit vote... at which time I noticed that vB/Firefox had thoughtfully changed my vote to JP whatever. So, uh, -1 for JP and +1 for Kruger?

[BigEvil]

AWESOME guns. Every single one of them. Not a undeserving one in the bunch.

[Warwitch]

Damn. Thats a pretty tough choice. I think smooth's X takes the pie though. :cheers:

[wimag]

that splashed SFL is mighty fine.

[BigEvil]

that splashed SFL is mighty fine.

Thanks. Im very happy with it, but it was not how I originally envisioned it. I wanted something dust silver and black acid washed. GBA talked me out of doing that with those two colors though - since there is no 'true' black, where the colors mixed it would look purplish.

I still want one more SFL to have Aurora plated :wow:

[trevorjk]

[Dark Side]

Wow, tough vote. I'll have to think on it.

lol, i've been waiting to hear back from cutstep for about 8 months now... :( I even told him I would pay his price... :(

[Sundown]

Wow.. I just spent like 20 minutes looking at each markers.
That was a really hard pick... so many beauties.

Some of these markers (at least 2) have been sold since.

yeah. But they are still pretty non the less. Just vote for your favorite regardless of its current living situation.

The winner will still receive the prize as he was the one to create the master piece.

Yes I will :) I just wished I was the one who bought them ;) haha

so many pretty markers.... I must build myself one like that.

[Whee McGee]

Lordy lord, lok at all them purty things...
JP's splashed red and Big E's splashed SFL are very nice.

[going_home]

Anyone else notice that if your mag is a mech is has only a 2 in 12 chance of winning ?
AO doesnt seem to like mechs to much . :tard:
Certainly does speak of the "speedball" mentality of the younger generation.
The top two are War's and Kruger's in my humble opinion and since War has sold
his Kruger gets my vote .

;)

[KevinLG]

War's is a mech if I'm not mistaken.

[caggers]

Kruger gets my vote, that is a cool finish...

[going_home]

War's is a mech if I'm not mistaken.

You are correct sir, one of only two mechs winning the MOTM this year on AO.
Its a pneumag but still no electronics.
That was my point.
Sad that its gotten to this.

:cry:

[AltogetherAndrews]

Warwitch's marker looks so deliciously evil. Like, primal evil in evil robot society sort of evil. :cool:

I dare to venture a guess that most of the people listed above also own mech markers/mags. Mech mags have plenty chance of winning. The owners just chose to put their elec counter part in the competition.

I am assuming your talking about Scott when speaking about people with the mentality of younger generation. (In that case I agree. Just recently I discovered he wasnt 12)

:p

[Rudz]

yeah scotts one of those kids you have to watch out for :rofl:

[koleah]

I gave my vote to ravishingeddies tactical Mag and I'll tell you why:

If you look at most of those mags, its a nice body/rail/grip/E-mag/X-mag/even SFL-mag with a nice anno job. Which is nice, but there's not a lot of work that goes into getting putting some parts together and then getting them annoed.

Now ravishingeddies, on the other hand, yeah, its a BASED on an emag, but there's a lot more to it than just a nice body and anno job. I mean, making a new front grip, adding a new grip frame, running the air through the new grip frame, moving the electronics, etc, etc (see his full list <a href="http://www.automags.org/forums/showthread.php?t=236502">here</a>). There's just so much custom work there, and so much time and effort put into it, that I feel that that has got to be, out of the choices there, the Mag of the Year. Heck I don't even like wood associated with paintball guns, and I still think it turned out amazing.

(and no I don't owe him money or anything :D )

[going_home]

Mech mags have plenty chance of winning. :p


The 2 out of 12 speaks for itself sir already proving your statement wrong.
2 out of 12 ?

:tard:

:headbang:


Im still broken hearted over the sale.....

And just look what its inspired..... :)


Looks like its going to be a knock-down, drag-out between Big E and Kruger!

[Smoothice]

Everybody loves a salvaged SFL story :hail:

[SummaryJudgement]

Well, sorry to my fellow AO SoCal friends, but I had to go with BigE on this one :cool:

:cheers:

dont worry scott is "family" :cheers:

[drewkroeker]

It was hard picking my favorite out of all these beautiful mags. I made my decision based on if I could have any one of them as a Christmas present (ha ha, fat chance!) I would pick Rudz x mag.

Thanks for the props :cheers: I haven't been on here since I won and I just got on today and noticed the MOTY thread. I never even planned on being in the contest but heck even getting ninth place is rewarding enough. Thank you AO :bounce:

[Beemer]

:wow:

Ya congrats to the winner of the first MOTY[open] ever............ :hail: :wow:
