I think I have the disease known as Magitis.

Please don't make me list the ones I have missed.

I'm still trying to get over them

[Loguzzzzzz]

There are definetely different stages of the disease though. Its actually more like an addiction.

First you have a taste = someone lets you borrow there e-karta. You go running around the field like a madman spraying paint.

Then you think. Hmm thats pretty good. I like that. Maybe I will upgrade my classic mag.

Next thing you do is start buying some small upgrades. Rt on/off. Double trigger frame. Make that trigger pull a little lighter.

It starts slow. A piece here and there. Next thing you know you have a fairly up'ed classic.

But now you have all these extra parts. First you think you can sell them.

So you sell a few pieces. That feels surprisingly good too. Well now you have some extra cash in your hand. Free money you think. Maybe its time to put some pneumatics in that double trigger frame you just got.

So now you start building a pneumag. But with the added fire power you realize maybe a barrel kit would be nice. You eye a cocker threaded barrel. Time to sell the classic body and get a ule.

So the cycle continues until you have a fully up'ed pneumag with all the bells and whistles.

But you still have the taste of that e-karta.

You do some quick math and realize maybe you can sell your pnuemag frame and buy some emag lowers for just a little bit more.

Once you find those now you need a new valve. May as well shed some weight and get an x valve.

Now you have over $700 into this mag. You have bought and sold a whole bunch of parts. Then a great deal comes up for a custom body. Sure you have to buy the whole mag. But you know you can sell the pieces you don't need.

Once you create your new master piece you realize you can build a second mag.
You convince yourself you should have a "loaner" for a friend.

Next thing you know you have a whole arsenal of markers. You think about all of them as members of the family. You are now a magaddict!

Then one day you make the horrible mistake of figuring out how much money you have invested into your collection. You hate yourself. You try to convince yourself to sell something. This will justify the other purchases. You have now hit rock bottom.

So you sell a few markers. Or maybe just a few pieces. But just as you think you are detoxing the addiction. A Xmag body comes up for sale. You already have lowers and a valve. All you need is the body to have an XMAG. You buy it without a second thought.

And the cycle continues.

Damn that guy with the e-Karta. . . what a . . . . He should be shot!

Yeah, Nick... you need an E-Karta to go with those Tunablades you picked up a month ago

I skipped ekarta and went right to xmag. Although you may have noticed my karta in motm. It may have 1 vote...

As the addiction goes I jumped on a deal a while back that hurt the paintball funds pretty bad. Hence my recent attempts to get rid of stuff. I've almost listed the karta few times. I'm still holding on to that dream though.

Aren't Jeep Wranglers just as bad as Automags?

Worse. Shipping is higher and they are harder to hide
