Here is my updated mag, the AutoBenz. Named such because its all gloss black, much like a nice Mercedes. I still havn't figured out how or where to attach the Mercedes logo, but I have it, so as soon as I figure it out it will be attached (Ideas are welcome).

Heres the pics, Dynaflow and CP MicroDrop are in the mail, so that'll be the air system.

The gun is ridiculously light, my dad is going to get an exact weight for me tommorow.

Comments are welcome :)

that is tight as hell...

thats probably the sweetest mag ive seen in a while. try some smoke sticky 3s... they look so awesome (even though i have red). also, get a custom products mini gas thru (from pb gear). beleive me, they look sweet as hell with the milling on the feed neck of the ULE. also, the cp MINI will allow a drop to fit in, like a dz3. but thats me, i like giant drops.

The very front of the Dynaflow I am getting is silver. Just a touch more of an accent. I think a silver DF woudl be too much.

BUt silver reg back (the adjuster nut), silver trigger, and partially silver tank reg should work nicely.

I like small drops with a 68 tank, but I DO like the CP mini gas thrus. Not sure if I'll switch out the Dye yet though.

Haha, the lighting makes them look hairier but ok :)

The logo is from a keychain, its about a half-inch, three quarters of an inch wide.

Use it as a hilariously oversizes sight/hood ornament on the end of tha barrel...IF you can find a way to attach it.

Otherwise, I'd say custom grips are the way to go.

I was thinkign of putting it at the end of the barrel like a hood ornament, but it would fall off, Im sure.

AS for custom grips, I have three sets of grips from Frymarker, but I really like Dye stickies, so the customs are all on other guns. I don't think I'll be putting customs on this gun. Maybe sticky three's. Thanks for the input though, I appreciate it.

I have basically the same thing with a Black MiniMag body and a standard rail. The DYE gas-thru is the cleanest looking/lightest weight foregrip I've seen.

I run a Dye foregrip, too. Gotta love 'em.

Great mag, Thordic.

If you put it on the left side of the gun on the flat part near the feedneck. That is where I got my "Level 10 inside" sticker and it can easily be a home for your logo.

With the amount of money I've spent on this thing, I could prolly have an X-Mag by now :)

As far as electros though, I've been converted away from the Emag. If I get an electro, it'll be a Matrix.

The I'd have to drill a hole in it so I could actually adjust the velocity...

Weight just got in.

34.8 ounces, or 2.17 lbs. Thats half a pound lighter than an x-mag WITH a full freak attached :)

that's without a tank and hopper man....

my vote goes to velocity adjuster, that'd be too pimp!

put a big one on your hopper lid

and put a small on on the ball detent

I'm aware :)

But an X-Mag weights 2.7 lbs WITHOUT a barrel.

My gun weighs in at 2.17 lbs WITH a full freak set attached.

My MiniMag was 4.2 lbs by itself before, with no barrel.

An empty 12V revvy, with batteries, is 13.4 oz. Can't do much about the weight there, a Halo would be even heavier.

The freak weighs 4.59 ounces by itself, so the AutoBenz, minus the barrel, is 30.21 ounces, or 1.88 lbs.

I need to weigh the Dynaflow and CP Microdrop when they come in.

Paintballs are .11oz each, by the way, and a 68ci of air at 4500 PSI is almost another pound.
