    So it finally happened to me...

    Just to be fair, the kid that was at the store wasn't an idiot, just uninformed. He was pleasant and courteous as well.

    Me: Do you have any Gas Thrus?
    Clerk: Stocks?
    M: No, grips.
    C: No, there aren't any guns that use those anymore.
    M: All of mine except for my emag do.
    C: (Blank Stare)
    M: I shoot automags
    C: (Blank Stare)
    M: Airgun Designs?
    C: (light bulb!) Aren't those old?
    M: No, in fact the project I'm working on has parts that I bought new less than a year ago.
    C: (blank stare) (pause) Really? You should check the other store then, (name) is there, he knows about all that old stuff.
    M: Thanks?

      Can't all guns accept a gas-thru where a vertical reg can be used?

        Well, there really aren't any guns that use gas thrus. All of them have regulators or expansion chambers. Well, with the exception of spyders and whatnot.

              Meh, my local shop got rid of their stuff, but amazingly enough they will still special order mag stuff for ya. They've noticed a slight rise in the use of mags within the area. They've had to order more parts kits than usual this year.

                  I ALWAYS get compliments on the field. Those who know what it is love it, and those who don't love it and ask what it is.

                      Mark and I tell them they are new prototype guns and we are beta testers. Expect to see them in a few years.

                        I always stop in the local shop with my uber-goodies. Every time I bring a Vike or E/pneumag they go nuts. They dont know what they are looking at..... but they know its awesome.

                            Haha I went to my local paintball field yesterday at the shop. I entered with my rainmaker, e-mag and spyder for parts-repair. The guy looks at me when I puts my rainmaker on the desk and say: Hey! if it for a repair I don't touch it!

                            Me: It just for macroline and fitting ..
                            Him: ok I can do that but don't ask me about the timing it.
                            Me: Fine but all the timing is done.

                            Then I puts my spyder on the table
                            Him: I don't touch those too! The dragon are crap, break all the time
                            Me: But it a bob long millenium with a The one Kit and I only came for solenoid.
                            Him: K but don't ask me more thing

                            Then I puts my e-mag on the table.
                            Me: It just for a new macro fitting it leaks.
                            Him: God why you always need to use old marker?
                            Me: Because I like it and like to watch other people face at me when I shoot those :P


                            After a while I go back down and talk to one of the kid, another guy behind say: Is that an e-mag?
                            Me: Yea, your are the only one who know about those.
                            His mom: What do you know about e-mag?
                            Him: It a cool gun
                            Me other than that?
                            His mom: Yea do you know anything other than that?
                            Him: I only know it a cool gun

                            XD

                            hehehe
