    So, is that a Tippmann?

    Lol....I was sitting on my couch yesterday watching some TV and running a rag over the cocker I used to play paintball yesterday. One of my son's friends come to the door, and he asks me "Is that a Tippmann, or something?"
    I replied "or something" and went on to explain to him that it was, in fact, an autococker.

    I just find it kind of amazing that the name recognition came so quickly to him as it related to anything paintball.

    Like back in the day, when Mags were referred to everything from an Angel to a anything else.

      I know how it is. I was playing with a group of guys who with my Y-framed MicroMag. One of the guys comes up to me, "Hey, is that an Angel?"

        I seem to always get the "is that an Ion or a Shocker?" question when I pull one of my Classics out of the bag. *sigh*

          Everything is either an Ion or a Tippman *slaps forehead*

          It's to the point where I removed the custom body panels from my 'Mag, and now at the next game I'm playing with the 'Mag pretty much naked, so that people can SEE that it's not a Tippman lol.

            hehe same thing happend to me this weekend, the refs all asked "What gun is that" when they saw my E-mag.

            Only one of like 8 refs knew what a automag/emag was and who AGD is...

              When I get that kind of comment, I always reply "don't insult me! There aren't any plastic parts on my Automag"

                I never know what to say when that happens, I am so offended I get speechless.

                Maybe I should say "Yes, because SP stole it..." or "If it was, I couldn't do this" then stand on it.

                      They will probably ask what kind of Cyclone feed it is.

                          Actually, I wonder if there is a way you could do away with the electronics in the Warp and make it pneumatic.

                          That'd be pretty boss.

                            I hate you. Now I want to try it. And I just sold off my extra Warp bits... Grrrr.
