The intimidation factor!!

[chefomar]

It's funny when every time I take my mag out of the bag you can hear some people commenting about the gun. I've been back in paintball for about 6 months now after being out of it for 9 years almost. Back then I had a mag, and obviously when getting back to playing and seeing todays guns I got myself a used classic that I'm upgrading with some patience. The thing is that last weekend I was with 2 friends and went to get some gas and paintballs to a local shop were we met some guys and ended up playing with them. When we got to the field I took my mag out of the bag and you could hear them commenting. When I made some testing they would comment on how silent it was. Once the game started, I had a good game, taking 3 of 5 opponents because for some reason they were very focused on me. In the next game once it started I was in a gun fight with 4 of the other team players. For some reason they wanted to take me out and won't let me move an inch out of the bunker were I was, but some how I was also firing back at them, while my teammates made their move to better positions to take them out. In that game unfortunately we lost, mainly because they were inside a structure and they didn't want to come out. But overall it's incredible the oohhss and the aahhs you hear from people and they dont know it's a 15 year old gun!!

Its great with an RT because you can get such high rates of fire. When you let a string out and people hear it they come running to see what gun you have and are always like:

What is that!?


Most common assumption/question is "what kind of shocker body is that?", lolz.



The reason why they ganged up on you is that they want to see if the gun is better than theirs and somehow getting you out proves that (Its the player not the gun ). All it does is make you look like an amazing player so roll with it

The first game I played with my RTclassic I could hear people commenting about it behind my back and see them making fun of how I shoot with the warp when they think I am not looking Its just 'cause they're jealous.
The RT classic, IMHO, looks even older than the 68classics because of the hardline and full body and all that.

One other person besides GRimm and I had a mag that day, and he had an AGD sweater.
I walked up to him and said "Nice shirt" and he shook my hand. Shooting a 68 automag ULE bodied.

We all seemed to be getting a lot of attention from the other players, which was funny because the rental markers were all 68 classics and the entire staff was mag-fans
Still nothing screams I am awsome like playing with a 13 year old gun that can keep up with 3 month old guns

I'm not sure about intimidation factor with my marker setup, but I do get a lot of interest at scenarios, since there's not too many paintball "pistols" around rocking 100 round magazines. I always answer all the questions they have and even ask if they want to shoot it.

For me, creating more awareness of Automag awesomeness means AGD stay in business for longer, which in turn means I can play with my favorite marker for longer in future. That and because I reckon the Automag may just make a resurgence if we keep fueling the fire.

That, and since PSP rules dictate you can have mechs uncapped and mags are the fastest mechs around we might see them in tourneys again
