Automag "people"
So I was playing at a field near me a few weeks backs and when ever I take out my mag (xvalve, wl ule body, warp feed, etc) most people look at it dumb founded of sorts and a few look at and know what it is. And I started to look more into the kind of people who looked dumb founded or confused at to what it was. (yes, I've had some ppl say "is that an ion" 
)
They are usually the speedball (or the mil-sim/scenario) type player and they're in general my age. Or they're younger kids just getting into it or fathers taking their son out to play, they usually come up to me and ask what it is, and i tell. But then I have the field owner come up to me and say "yeah man, nice warp feed" and such or other few mag owners say nice mag and me back n such. The other people shooing the mag are either older and have been in the sport for a long time or they're my age and have the same level of difficulty of a major as I, (like law, engineering, pre-med, etc)
Background on myself:
I'm a senior at RPI (engineering school) for aeronautical engineering (my mom calls it rocket science), just tuned 22, have 1 ule mag, 1 egomag ( I built myself), 1 emag, 1 classic, and 1 sanchez machine SM-1, started playing when i when I was 16 (w/a 98c) and was asked to join a local team, silver backs, and they for the most part shot mags, so I got one. They players of the team were some "older players" who have been in the sport from the beginning and my dad, they knew my dad from work and got him into paintball and then me. And from then on i've always shot a mag (besides the sm-1), granted I've had an A4 angel (payed $50 for it) and a cocker, both of which tormented me. And now I currently mostly play at ASC in Nassau, NY as a rec player.
So back to my observation, people that shoot mags have either been in the sport back when mags and cockers were big on the scene or people like me who are of the engineering mind set (or similar) and love the simplicity on how they operate and ease of modification. Or the few who saw one once, thought it was cool, and went out and bought it w/o knowing much about it (aka; one of my friends).
So what do you all think about that statement? That mag shooters are most likely from back when they were popular (90's era paintball, i'm not saying mags aren't popular or such) or people of an engineering/technical/etc background.
Side note: is anyone doing AO jersey's or anyone have an interested in any?

What field do you usually go to?
) and nothing shoots as well as my mags, thats why I stuck with them. It's all I shoot now. All 4 of them haha!
