Hi all!

Im Ed (aka Hemlock). I just ordered my first Automag this week and I should get it by next Friday. Im very excited and cant wait to get my MAG! ooooooooooooo "My MAG".....sounds so nice! :eek:
Ive paintballed in the past but never really got into it(but I loved it). I used to own a Stinkray and an ugly plastic green pump thingy. Plus I used to rent tippmans alot too. Its been 5 years since I last played paintball, and on that last day I got to use a sweet arse Minimag. From that day I decided if I were to ever buy another paintball gun, it WILL to be a Mag... and I didnt lie :)

I orders this stuff
-TKO Automag with PF
-4500 psi/68 ci. Pure energy nitro tank
-12v rev. hopper
-JT proteus mask

Alot of my buddies got guns now, so I finally had a good reason to get a Mag. Cant wait to shoot them :D They all have Spyders and Tippman and where ghillie suits (dorks) heheh Meanwhile I'll be the sore thumb with chrome and bright clothes. But I like to be on the offensive and stick out. :)

Anyway, Ill be seeing yas around (with tech talk and stuff)

Peace

Sure, Ill post a pic.... soon as I learn how(and when I get my gun). :D

Im so happy I did get the Mag, I almost didnt cause of cash reasons. But I figured why get crap now, and be stuck with crap when I can get the best, be happy, and grow with the gun.

It kinda sux that the 2 paintball stores here in town are kinda ghetto. Thats why I ordered mine online :p

aight peace for now

Welcome back to the game. I'm just got back into the game myself after a having to sit out a few years due to a bad knee injury (not paintball related. I too just got my first mag after playing with a nicely tricked out tippmann for a few months. Needless to say after playing with mag once, I've decided to keep my tippmann as a back-up for some upcoming outdoor tourneys.

Welcome to AO Ed!

Looks like you knew the sweet set-up to get, smart choices in gear. Just remember to ask all your 'Mag questions here at AO (we already know you'll have questions)!

Band! Where's the band? Someone get the band!

Welcome. CP=Custom Products. Nice choice there on the mag.
I got a TKO Too.. bah, you might want to get a new barrel within a year. lol. I got an All-American Barrel within a month of me getting the mag.

The TKO comes with the Smart-part Progressive, right? I was thinking of getting a new barrel in a month or so. I want to play with the stock stuff first so when I do get the better upgrades, Ill appriate them more. I was thinking of getting the 12" Boomstick. Then I'll save my cash for a while and in a few months go Retro, then the intelliframe a few weeks/months after that. I want those 3 upgrades before I go to Saudi in june.

And thanx for all the welcomes guys :cool:

peace
