    How many of you are still Mag owners and....

    I know this has probably been asked a million times.

    How many of you using AO no longer own or use a mag? How many of you never had one in the first place?

    Other than AO what PB related sites are you visiting nowdays? Are they marker sponsored/oriented like owners groups, or general forums?

    I owned a mag for years and found this site as a natural course of looking for info and parts for them. Having recently sold my primary mag I still log on here first, but have found myself spending more and more time on MCB. I find the older markers and history about them to be facisnating. Not that I ever plan on playing with any of them, it is just neat stuff to discover.

    All I own are mags. AO and my local field forums get chacked the most regularly but I also lurk around MCB on a regular basis.

      I am a mag owner since 97. Always have owned one...at least in a box under my bed...darktimes of BPS electro craze has come and gone with me. My ULE X valve, Pneumag is my primary.

      Spend my time on:

      AO
      MCB
      PBL

        First marker was a mag, last marker will be a mag. I've owned and currently own other brands (Ions, Cockers, Spyder, etc), I've been playing for almost 15 years if not more, and remember when they actually filled nitro tanks with nitrogen lol

        I check PBN (usually the for sale, can't stand some of the fanboi elitism in some of the subforums..), MCB, customcockers and underground mod shop. I'm not as active as I was say 10 years ago (both in forums and playing), but I still like to keep abreast of what's going on in the industry and the path it's going.

          That the forum I mostly visit. 6 of them are general, 4 are of dedicated to.

          I was a tippmann owner and collector before and sticked to them untill I bought my e-mag. I think I had around 10 different tippmann and was close to 20-22 marker total.

          Now I mostly sold all of my tippmann and switching for more quality marker that you guys will see later when it will be complete. Now I will stick to 4 marker in the end:
          Pump
          speed-ish marker(even if I do not play that style hehe)
          milsim marker
          pistol
          (hint there will be 2 mags in those)

            No longer own a Mag, or any mag parts except the stainless part of a reactor valve I found in my pencil holder this morning.

            I shoot my Mini and my freeflow Pump now, and am very happy with both. the mag's biggest drawback for me was the number of shots I got off of it.

            I loved the lvl 10 more than anything, but having to lug a 92cu tank around with me to get any respectable number of shots out of it was cumbersome.

            I still frequent here a lot, BEO, the Nation, McB, Doc's, and Custom Cockers and that's about it. Mostly here for BST's and BEO and MCB to talk with people and see whats going on. And the Nation to see what a wreck this hobby has become

                I really like MCB - at times, when people arent talking about BRASS!!! I also like Customcockers and HalfCocker.com. Docs site is dropping off my radar, I only seldom go there these days. PBN has one useful thread I frequented often, and that was the official MQ2 section that M.Quinn would answer questions in.

                Im starting to feel the same way but it depends on how war the air station is. Im also starting to enjoy some of the other markers I own for the first time now that I am using them.

                  I never owned a mag, borrowed some and thought they were nice machines. I'm on this forum because the average maturity level is better than most...PbN's "stfu n00b" stuff got old fast.

                  I frequent AO, PBL, and IOG (IntimidatorOwners.com)

                      I have 4 mags and will always own one in the future (if I can help it). I just like knowing that they will always shoot when I need it to. I've thought about selling one of my 4 mags since I don't have time to shoot all of them (I bought some as back ups in case one ever goes down...but they never have yet), I just can't seem to let any of them go. Oh well, I guess I'll keep them

                        I have owned at least one mag since 91 (still have my original) and don't see that ever changing.

                        Messed with cockers, doubt I will ever own another. Still have 2 older tippmanns (SL2, FA), doubt I will get rid of the SL, the FA is iffy. Still have my WGP Ranger pumpgun but am trying to sell my Sniper. Just sold my 3357 Spotmarker.

                        Don't know. Pretty much when I play it is either my Automag or the SL2.

                        Would consider a Mini but still waiting for the right one at the right price. Other than that, not too interrested in most of the guns on the market. They all either look just like each other or are uber expensive.

                        I tend to frequent AO, PBL, BE, and MCB.

                          I've owned almost strictly mags from 2001 to 2008. Picked up a PM5 and an Ego and parted my epneu-y-mag this spring and I have to say I'm pretty satisfied, as blasphemous as it sounds. No intentions of owning a mag as my primary again, though I wouldn't mind having one around for old times' sake.

                            I own three mags and many other electros, mechanical semis and pumps. I think I own about 14 guns now. I use my Angel when competing in Xball tournaments, but I still prefer my retromag when playing big games. Heck, I have even played with the mag on the Xball field during walk-on days.

                            I frequent a few forums, but prefer AO due to the level of maturity here.
                            Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.

                              I started with the SpecOps forums a few years ago. Once I was saved from my tippmann obsession, I started posting only in their pump section. Then I got tired of SpecOps altogether, and started posting only here. Now I still post in the mag section on SpecOps, except recently due to the lack of any interesting discussion. Always just "should I get a tac one?". Oi. Anyway, I've been going on MCB recently. It's similar to AO in that people are mature and talk about interesting stuff.
