I just picked this magazine up, it's made by the magazine PGI, and I must say it's been one of my favorites I've read. It's a yearly type edition thing I believe, of all current gear. They have reviews on everything from markers, hoppers, gear, masks, barrels etc. of all the current gear of 2003. And I must say, it's one of the most unbiased magazine editions I've read. Though they wouldn't flat out say "this marker is bad," they weren't afraid to nitpick at little things and grade on scale of 1-5 in certain areas. They'd say where they thought it was lacking at well. They gave really high praise for the X-Mag as well too. The only thing I'd really disagree with were some of the lower end marker reviews, but I did find their review of the Spyder Imagine funny. They said and I quote W.P.G magazine, "It's cheap. It's a Spyder. It has an electronic trigger. We're sure they'll lots of them. 'Nuff said."

I liked the magazine. It's been one of my favorites to read. When they come out with the next guide, I'll be looking for it.

My son used it to narrow down his selection of a new marker to either a X Mag or e bladed Eclipse cocker. His decisions were based on completeness of package, anti chop systems and quality ratings.

I read it to.;)

I got mine from Barnes and Noble, but at the Mall of Georgia. Barnes and Noble is the bookstore that carries the most paintball magazines I've seen.

What makes the mag even cooler is they have a great Whiteboard (http://www.the-whiteboard.com/) comic at the back.

:D

They didn't have a review on the Omen. They only did so many markers.

Thanks Yanks for the comments, they are much appreciated :)
We will try to keep all you lot happy and I think you'll like the new revamp we just done on the magazine even more.
If any of you are heading down to Miami for the NPPL, come over to the PGI booth and say 'hi' and pick up the latest magazine.
Or come and find me (I'll be with my team Nexus) and I will give ya a copy.
Happy days !

Hey, I'll be in the booth, Robbo will be running around trying to get girls to look at him, so you'll be saying hi to me.

Thanks for the comments guys, we're getting everything together for the next What Paintball Gear? right now. Plus, PGI will have a new look at the World Cup. Same helpful content, with a new pretty-boy look. We're like Brad Pitt ... you know, like Fight Club Brad Pitt, except mixed with a boyscout..... and, uh, no Jennifer Aniston.

We're like that.

The only one I really disagreed with was the JT one. I'd don't remember exactly what it was, just that it got a little higher rating than I'd expect from the experience I had when using one. That's just me though. But overall, all the articles were very informative and well layed out (even the JT one :p). Great job though on all the reviews. :)
