who likes their mag??

[Dayspring]

Every gun chrono'd at 280 will shoot the same distance. That's #1.

Accuracy is paint to barrel match & consistent airsource. That's #2.

Remember those 2 facts and you'll be ok around here.

I had an A5 that was modded to look like a mp5 pdw. I used it one season on and off and my rt pro was way more accurate and shot farther I thought.

Hi yall, I've got a couple questions.
how many of yall like(or love) the tac one/x valve and level 10?
is it worth it or should I get a ION or A-5 with a reactive trigger?
I really want a Mag, but i would like to know if its worth it, how much trouble do yall have with these guns? do they leak alot? how easy is it to fix the problem, howlong does it take? would you rather have another marker?? thank you for your help.
I'd like to put an 18 inch FREAk kit on a tac one with a Empire-B hopper.
thanks again yall!!

I would preferr any mag over an ion or a5.

With the xvalve/ lvl 10 you will not chop paint even if you try. You will have a very high rate of fire. As for porblems you can diagnos and fix any mag problem in less than 5 minutes once you are familiar with them. They really only have 2 problems. 1. you put it back together wrong or 2. an oring is bad. You will be pleased with a tac one.

kool

that sounds great there has to be more problems than that?
just o rings and or putting the gun back together?and does it take 5 minits to replace an o ing...

after a certain time period does the gun hae less and less problems?
I hear its just the tuinig part that is like the fie minits thing..
thanks

First off my mag is the 5th marker I've owned and I enjoy playing with it. Currently my other primary marker is a Palmer Typhoon. Both are relatively high-end mechanical markers, but I use them for different types of play. Also, most importantly to some people, the Typhoon does not have many upgrade available, a mag on the other had has MANY possible upgrade paths. RougeFactor, Tunaman, and Luke (just to name a few from the AO dealer forum) have great aftermarket upgrades for mags. My mag for example started out life as a minimag, now the only minimag parts left on it are the rail and sear. So if you enjoy customizing, or upgrading your marker over time a mag is a great way to go. Check some of the picture threads to see what others here on AO have done with their mags.
Hope this helps,
Earthy

I currently have 3 e-mags, and I will never play with another marker again, unless it's a pump. I love my 'mags! And the best part is, when I go to the field, I hear "oh, theres an A5, theres a DM5, theres a Timmy... what the hell is that?" And then I educate them on what an E-mag is :-D

It's definitely a very fun and unique marker to have, I'd go for the TacONE if I were you :)

I have one last remaining question...It's the most important in my opinion. don't tell
me that mags are reliable da da dada.. I know they are.
but how many people have had a mag leak on them in the middle of a game
cause to shims, missplaced tuning in the lvl. 10 ect.
I'f you have had any of these related problems and are just browsing this post..please please
tell me if you have had problems and what are they..
thank you:"

Thanks yall, I'll be buying a tac-one!
yea i will probely go with a 16 inch freak instead.

I own 2 A-5, an Xmag, RTpro etc. As for the A5 They are work horses, but kick kind of like a spyder. It is great for milsim and fun to modify. Check out opsgear.com . As for the Automags they work out of the box but can be fine tuned to prefection. Since the invention of the level 10 you can put on a elctro trigger frame and not have to worry about chopping or installing eyes. Check out http://www.lukescustoms.com This guy has a lot of great mods.........

One of the e-mags I got ended up leaking like... well, something that leaks a lot. This was mostly due to the fact that when I got it, the original o-rings were in it, and I dont think they saw oil for a long, long time. So it did end up leaking a lot, but a complete o-ring replacement procedure fixed it completely.

I just bought a TacOne. I've been playing on and off for about 5 years. My previous guns are a Viper M1 and an early model impulse. The Impluse worked great when I first got it, and has then turned into a PITA. Its biggest problem is that it hasn't been very consistent velocity wise, the quality of it is pretty poor, and the maxflow in it has been problematic. So getting tired of working on my impulse, I bought a tac one. I love this gun. The first day I had it I played all day long, no chops, very consistent. Going from a electro to a mechanical trigger was pretty much a non issue. Towards the end of the day, and its first case of paint the level10 started to leak. Wasn't a big deal because I knew it was going to happen, and the gun still worked fine. Being an inexperienced mag owner, it did take me a while to fix the leak. I tried three different sized carriers before I figured out thanks to this forum to remove a shim. These things are really easy to work on. They way I look at it, its not about how much paint you can shoot. My impluse was a faster gun, but this gun is more reliable, and more importantly I can consistently get two shots in the same place. I quickly discovered the importance of this when I shot someone out through a slot in their bunker. If the gun shoots every time you pull the trigger, and every shot is the same as the one before it paintball becomes a lot more fun. I'm glad I bought my mag.

thanks

thanks that helps alot....could i take a case of paint, go out in the woods and shoot, and shoot unitl I get a leak repeat the process untill the gun "sets" and then not have to worry about it?? this of corse could take a week,

[sean33]

[HamMan]

I sometimes wish I had a job at AGD. Your last questions was something like, "will it leak in the middle of the game". My answer is, "maybe". When everything is new and breaking in it may develop a slight leak. 9 time out of 10 it is an oring. Not cut, but just not sealing. Just replace it and your golden. When everything is tuned in and broke in the marker will only need a few drops of oil and cleaning of dirt or paint ooz from the game. That is it. My classic Rt has been mine since '97. It has needed only a few banjo bolt orings, (not on any other mag but a classic rt) bolt bumpers, and a new reg piston assm when I got LVl10 bolt system. That is it! It has never needed anything else. Every oring in the valve is original vintage '97 issue except for the Lvl 10. The orings for the Lvl 10 are original ones installed 2 yrs ago with no leaks thus far. I've used KC trouble free oil from the get go and I've been trouble free. I hope this might clear up your question and give you a pretty good idea of what to expect as far as reliablity.
