Automag "people"

[p_bpat]

I have been playing for about 7? Years. I started with wal Mart junk, and "upgraded" to a bt 16 tactical. Then to a bt4 banshee, then to all manners of guns. Last year I figured that since I had 4 cockers, I might as well buy a mag.
I was suprised about the simplicity, and what I had been told of the reliability.
At the end of the day however, I must say I'm a cocker guy. (a dangerous thing to say here) I know more about them, and I actually like to go to the field and tune my guns. I'm never satisfied with something that works like it was designed all the time. But I do have 2 mags now. (one cheater ule bodied mag, and 1 classic style mag) and I will shoot them whenever I can.
I'm a mechanic by trade and I'm 25. I tinker on pb guns like a mother******.
Pat.

I am 38
I have been playing since I was 16
My first gum to was a single shot splat master that I got from a target store
While on a trip to the united states
Years later I switched over to tipmmann
I have had many A-5 over the years and swear buy them
Just an all round good marker
I would compare it to a bulldozer
Can't really hurt them and will get the job done
I also have an auto cocker karnivior
Really like that gun
A little finicky to tune but my friend is a wizard with that one
Then my 2 millwright buddies introduced me to mags
I was impressed and eventually switched over to mags
Now I have 3 mags
By the way I am an iron worker

I saved up and bought my first mag back when mags and cockers were the kings. I'm still hooked on mags. I also went to RPI, and I am an engineer. Is the club still active? We started it when I was there.

I've found that there are pockets of mag users around the country. It's nice to be close to one of those pockets.

Thanks for starting the club

and ya the club is still here, about 15 regular players, and 4 of us shoot mags too.

Seems like the average age of Mag owners/enthusiasts is higher than other brands. At least here.

im 20 and have 5 mags(3ule,1micro,1ule pump). my local field is the only one i know of that still has mags on the wall for sale new. paintball charleston has taught me well since i was a little runt. learning that quality will always last.

ps my major is mechanical engineering

You'd LOVE my home field, from when I lived in Illinois. I lived like 3 miles from Fox Paintball, in Aurora, right next to 88. It's owned by a man called Tim Glavin, better known as Sandman. And yes, he's in the Automag Vid that Tom Kaye did. He was the one who did the speed shooting. While he doesn't have any new mags on his wall, he has been using Automags as rental markers at his field since they opened, 20 years ago, and he's still using the same mags they used when they opened. He's a great guy to talk to, and loves talking about Automags and AGD.

Now, on topic, I'm one of those few people who saw an automag, fell in love, and went out and bought one. I fell in love with my buddy Watcher's warped RT Pro, and picked one up for a good price not long after that. Now Automags are all I've got, even though I've still only got my RT Pro, which I've also warped. However, I have a ULE X-Valve mag in the mail, along with another warp. I also plan on buying a 68 Classic, so I can pump it, and I want to pick up a second RT Pro, which will be warped. The ULE X-Valve will be warped occasionally, but mainly kept as a loaner, to try and get other people interested in Automags.

I love how easy to maintain they are, and how they pretty much never break. And when they do break, I love how easy it is, generally, to fix them. I also love how massively customizable they are. I don't think there's any other marker on the planet that is as customizable today, as the Automag is. If you have the money, you can make your Automag so unique, that you'll never see another one like it, which is what I love about them.

Here's my baby in action, you can see me in the last minute or so of the vid.

I didn't do much to start the club. I just played paintball. I'm glad to see it's still around and there are some mag users.
