Getting an Automag Classic, and have a few questions.

[cthompson]

I just decided to get a Automag classic powerfeed and I have a few questions about automags.

1: Do automags need regulators?I have heard that they dont but I want to make sure.

2:What are some upgrades that I need to get.I know I need a barrel,hopper,air system, but what are some special upgrades.

3:Are automags good for all types of paintball(woodsball,speedball,ect.)and all postions(back,front,mid,tapeline.)

Im new to automags so any help would be appriciated.


Thanks

1. not in my opinion...only time you would need anything close is if you're using CO2, and then i would just use a remote line or anti-siphon...automags have internal regulators so that would be redundant.

2. get some type of barrel kit (freak, cp, pipe, or scepter, i would get an intelliframe and interface it to a revolution hopper, for air any nitrogen system will make a world of difference...if you're gun doesn't have a level 10 bolt...they're awesome...ive never busted a ball with mine unless it was half cracked (snicker). if you really shoot some balls maybe an xvalve but ive never tried one (they come with a level 10 bolt).

so to recap, other than barrels etc that you've mentioned we have: intelliframe, xvalve, and a level ten bolt.

3. i use my mag for rec ball in the woods and on other types of fields and it works well...speedball is like a mag's forte ..so yeah..anything you want it to be it can be. (thinks of be all you can be theme)

btw, don't take my word as golden, im new to mags and the forums and many of the people here are almost like some sort of mag gods.

Welcome to AO, cthompson. I can tell you're a smart guy, because you've chosen to get an AutoMag :)

1. You don't need another regulator. If you choose to run Co2 through your gun, use an anti-siphon tank, or a remote. I would suggest HPA (high-pressure air, aka nitro)

2. You need to get no other upgrades. The gun will work fine right from the get-go. Here are some things you'll need...

Hopper, a 12 volt Revolution w/the X-Board will take you far. An elbow is also nessessary, about $60

HPA tank, a good screw-in, 68/4500 tank goes for just about $200 (Air America "The Reg") Some sort of ASA adapter to attavh the tank & gun, about $50 for a nice Custom Products CP on/off set-up.

Barrels, did I mention CP? :)

3. Yes, the Mag will be great for all types of PB, and can be upgraded to a high speed, low drag race machine, when your skills and wallet are ready

If you choose to use CO2, you can get a Palmer stabilizer as a second regulator--but that's the most you'll need--if you don't want to run a remote. But, just spend the exta dough if you've got it and go HPA.
