    How Many Maggers At YOUR Field?

    The field's here in Tucson/Phoenix that I play have almost no mecher's anymore.

    I play with two or three people who use a mag from time to time, but they are the only ones I've seen playing with them. ever.

    Not to say that people are only playing electro's now, because there are tons of pumpers around. Just don't see too many mechs around anymore, and seeing an automag usually makes my day (happens maybe once a month). Are there any fields in America that still have a huge automag presence? mech cocker presence? Any rainmakers or old bushmasters still around? Any 1998 paintball-play cult followings out there?


    Tell us the state/region you play in and how many mags have been on the field at once!


    I miss paint ball from about 11 years ago when I started.

    Lots of (real) old school Mag lovers here in Florida. There are usually a couple at the local renegade field. As many as 10-15 at the bigger games though.

      That's awesome!
      If I saw 15 mags in a game at once I'd be shot to hell just trying to get a look at all of them.

            It's a rare walkon that uses a mag but my home field uses mags as rental guns, and occasionally I bring mine out. The local woods field has a few mags in their rental fleet and there are a handful that see the field on a regular basis.

              Maybe one or two. I am for the most part the only AGD guy at my feild. Once in a blue moon a classic or an emag will show up.

                I once saw a HIGHLY polished Minimag at my field and man was it purdy, and I once saw a very nice Q-loaded Tac-One. Those are the only mags I've seen in person besides the one that I own, but I think that's also because I didn't really know what to look for before I started seriously looking at them (about 6 months ago)...

                  I have seen one outside an AO event in the past year. It was an old classic that has been riding the bottom of someone's gear back for a loooong time.

                  Since I sold mine, there hasn't been one played with on the field I frequent since then, as far as I know. The owner of that field has an old warp fed classic that doesn't work properly (needs a spring pack) and doesn't get used.

                    There are 5-6 of us who use mags including the field owner, though most of the time we just use pumps.

                      I havent seen mag players in my home field in socal (hollywood sports) other than my son, dughter, my brother and myself. The only other time that I've seen mags in this field was the last AO meet. I would love to see more.

                        Used to be quite a few when I previously played at Paintball Sam's (was sort've the AGD home field) but even then, they were sorely outnumbered by other types.

                        Apparently there are none left now, but I'll be bringing mine next weekend

                          No we still get some at the field, we get people who come in and remember Tom, since he tested the guns here and stuff, of course now the field is breakaway paintball, but it is the same field with most of the same players and refs like Paul (snoopay700), Harry..., and I. But yeah we have people come in with mags pretty often still, and it is nice to see, I mean there aren't a ton of them but every once in a while we will get one or two. Ron brought 2 of his, and another guy came with some.

                          Also do any of you know if Harry had any sort of Romance or fling with Nikki at any time, I always felt there was some tension between the two, could be nothing but Paul and I always wondered.

                            Re: Harry + Nikki, no idea, I only really knew them as people who worked at the field, wasn't personally friends with them outside of paintballing

                            Cool to hear there are still some mags around, I remember when you'd see a lot of Emags out there.. still rocking the trusty mech myself.
