Lol....I was sitting on my couch yesterday watching some TV and running a rag over the cocker I used to play paintball yesterday. One of my son's friends come to the door, and he asks me "Is that a Tippmann, or something?"
I replied "or something" and went on to explain to him that it was, in fact, an autococker.

I just find it kind of amazing that the name recognition came so quickly to him as it related to anything paintball.

Like back in the day, when Mags were referred to everything from an Angel to a anything else.

I know how it is. I was playing with a group of guys who with my Y-framed MicroMag. One of the guys comes up to me, "Hey, is that an Angel?"

I seem to always get the "is that an Ion or a Shocker?" question when I pull one of my Classics out of the bag. *sigh*

Everything is either an Ion or a Tippman *slaps forehead*

It's to the point where I removed the custom body panels from my 'Mag, and now at the next game I'm playing with the 'Mag pretty much naked, so that people can SEE that it's not a Tippman lol.

hehe same thing happend to me this weekend, the refs all asked "What gun is that" when they saw my E-mag.

Only one of like 8 refs knew what a automag/emag was and who AGD is...

When I get that kind of comment, I always reply "don't insult me! There aren't any plastic parts on my Automag" :D

I never know what to say when that happens, I am so offended I get speechless.

Maybe I should say "Yes, because SP stole it..." or "If it was, I couldn't do this" then stand on it.

They will probably ask what kind of Cyclone feed it is.

Actually, I wonder if there is a way you could do away with the electronics in the Warp and make it pneumatic.

That'd be pretty boss.

Played some speed ball a few weeks ago. No one could tell what i had (minimag) it was amusing. the best was a question "your actually gonna play speedball with a single trigger?" or "Man i haven't even seen a marker with an elbow or a saftey in, like forever!". It was a good game till there batteries died and they left.

i once had a ref tell me that why did i waste money putting a rotor on my Xmag

later that day i was running Mech mode due to magnet issues and i had a AGG kid tell the ref to check for ramping( same ref from the first line)


i told him it was RTing and he did not belive it was so i had him fire it. HE called it legal

here hw the conversation went while he was shooting it

REF: WOW this thing is fast
ME: Now do you see why there is a rotor on it
Ref: Yeah


i also had someone call my Xmag a Mini and i about smacked him

Running an egg 3 on my mag. I get plenty of snide remarks about beign an AGG kid. I just did it so i don't have to get another hopper later (plus most of the rest look like crap anyway).
