AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
i guess i just don't see the appeal of putting together a mechanical marker that can shoot like an electro when you can get an electro for less money thats a) faster b) cheaper and c) more efficient.

what electro mag can you get for less money?
many of the markers you are refering to are a dime a dozen!
IMO for how i play...nothing beats a MAG " i dont spray and pray"
and like already stated....i have a sear and pin thats it...no batteries or board or even a single wire!
Rogue.....great marker, the best gift my GF ever gave me!
i dont think it could get much lighter either....

Glad to see there are still folks that know its about quality, and speed based on skill!
Dont listen to the naysayers! .

you guys are so predictable, its kinda amusing. the quality thing is a bit played out, now, don't you think? anyways, that's another argument for another thread.. BUT.
You say you guys don't 'spray and pray' - but if that's the case, why is there a need to increase the rate of fire of an automag? if firepower has nothing to do with it, then there's no need to make the marker shoot faster -- it should be sufficient as is.....
and rogue, speed based on skill? how different is it moving your fingers back and forth whether it's a mag or an electro? if they're making the pull to mimic an electro - absolutely nothing.. so please, don't start spouting that crap (again)

i wouldnt say firepower has nothing to do with it. sometimes you need to fire a rope to hold someone down especially now with all the ramping.
but again i dont sit at a bunker and blind fire 25bps
Trust me my trigger pull is nothing like a electro and im not trying to mimic anything....whats wrong with improving your guns rate of fire, weight, appearance
its a dependable walkable mech. that doesnt weigh any more then the elite electros, Needs very little care " not like the electros" and some o-rings.....oh and oil
the only downfall you stated thats true is the air....but everywhere i play air is free all day!
and i always run out of paint before i run out of air.
so all in all IMO mags are just right for me! and i wanna try them all, even the emags " dont think im bashing electro mags"
i guess i just don't see the appeal of putting together a mechanical marker that can shoot like an electro when you can get an electro for less money thats a) faster b) cheaper and c) more efficient.
LOL, you know...I was thinking the same thing. Thanks for taking the bait!

Not at all. This is a mag forum, it will never be played out. If you think so, there are plenty of other forums waiting for ya!!! Until then, it will continue to be played!

The mag is absolutely sufficient for me, and as it seems the others in this thread. Skill overcomes firepower every day of the week, and twice on SUNDAYS!

Yep, skill. Go back to your ramping playing style and tell it to someone who cares. There is a reason why your preferred league aint doing so hot. And smack-talking the mag aint gonna help. Dont like the mag? Go complain about it on a non-mag forum.
And walking a trigger existed long before electros did. The ones who could do it with mechs had true skill. So please, dont start spouting that crap(again)
