Should i get a mag?

[bubbleman441]

Hey, from my experience with my ULE RT Pro mag, I have found it very accurate and consistent with my Dye boomstick along with some Evil paint. As far as the gas efficiency, you don't get as many shots off an air tank compared with other high end guns. However I use a 68ci 3000psi tank so your 72ci 4500psi nitro tank should work great for a mag. I have no idea how many shots you'd get off of that tank but with mine I get about 600 when filled. At the expense of it's low efficiency, it is extremely reliable and shoots very well (even better that many Autocockers I have shot).

So the 2 things that I think make it "better" than an Autococker are:
1) It's more reliable and requires less maintenance.
2) Doesn't chop paint with the level 10 bolt.

The rest is up to you as far as looks and all. I say, with the air tank you have, go for a mag! If you're looking for a mechanical marker that shoots consistantly, like an autococker, I HIGHLY recommend getting a ULE X-valved mag!

I recently made the switch from shooting cockers for the last couple of years to a new ULE Custom. I've never been happier. No more cocker fussiness, no timing issues (mech), no pinched wires (eblade). My Mag just always works, and works great. I have the ULT installed and the trigger pull is light and fast. And it hardly ever chops with the LVL10. This is a great time to get a Mag: AGD has loaded the ULE Custom with all their best technology like the X-Valve, LVL10 and ULT for a killer price. Plus there is great aftermarket stuff available for Mags from DeadlyWind (do a search on this site for: "Karta" and "Dallara"), Logic and Rogue. Also make sure to check out the hAir trigger video that's stickied in this forum... when that hits it's gonna be sweet!

The reason those mags are so cheap is that they lack the latest in bolts and valves. If you check the store for getting an Xvalve setup you will see that they are quite expensive.

So essentially, to stay away from teh negative stereotypes (they chop paint and are gas hogs) you would have to add 225 to the price of any ebay mag you get that doesn't have the level 10 setup in it. Keep that in mind when shopping ebay so you can compare prices to the ULE Custom deal. That said I got mine off of Ebay with a level X and extras for less than I could have got a ULE Custom comparably equipped for, so it is possible, just don't be taken in by the super cheap ones and know exactly what you are getting versus what you need to have a good paintball experience.

Um you can get ULT with a ReTro valve. And if I remember correctly it is recommended for the Aluminum ReTros and X valves.
