"Why do so many people dislike mags??"

[Clare]

automag ignorance

found this on pbnation, they need to be set straight

[DC Nelson]

I just dont get it...
Why do people think that if its more than 15 minutes old, it isnt any good any more.
I have a cocker, and love it, but im also putting together a mag, and like them just as much.

Mags are like the 1911 of paintball.
Why mess with perfection?

The "Revelator"... Angels aint got nothin on me!

Does anyone see the irony in this?

Yeah, that post above the others made me choke when I read it.
And here I was, listening to people on this board say how their cockers are cool, I was thinking about getting a cocker to mess around with myself. IMO those guys are giving cockers a bad name by being so... uh manufacturist?
Who am I kidding, I want more toys
Maybe I'll get a really expensive cocker that looks really flashy and mess it up a little bit, then let people test shoot that vs. my mag

BTW PotatoBoy, you eat babies? Do you drink pee? You must be French! Or maybe you completely don't get my reference.

Its funny how cockers, basically an old nelson style pump with some pnumatics to cock itself, are cool while mags which were designed from the ground up to be a semi and a valve design aftermarket companies cant even dream of improving upon, are 'old and outdated'...

Ohh yeah, i represented over there along with the rest of the AO family!!!! YEAH BABY!!!!!! That is so awsome that we all went over there to set the record straigh. Thanks Capoeira!

[G-Rexx]

DC, I like the 1911 reference!!! Damn good piece of American know how. Still going and going and going...Just like Mags.

[soilent green]

well they don't seem to know what they are talking about more people bashing mags because they heard they were bad I love the quote that the after market bolts were breaking and saying there fore AGD makes a bad product

[Miscue]

And to think... UDT was REALLY close to getting an Angel instead of an EMag... and now he's a Mag die-hard! Hehehe. GO AO Army!

One thing that I see about Mags is that there is a lack of advertiseing by AGD. This is not a terrable thing for those of us who own Mags or who know of them. However for new people who are reading paintball mags, they will see pages after pages of Angels, Cockers, and Timmies.

You can make a mediacore product, (hack, Kingman, hack) and slap it all over the pages of APG and the like.

You can also make a great product like the Mag but not advertise it.

the bottom line is that the mediacore procuct will sell more because more people see it.

I like to think of myself as one of the best representitives for AGD in my area. Not too many people own mags and my field really does not have any on the wall for sell. The only ones that we have are used ones that other players are trying to sell. I am usually the one that tries to talk newer players into buying one of the used mags instead of a new spyder or rebel. "I know it costs more" I say,"but the Mag is a better marker then both of them combined". I also let alow of people shoot my Mini and my EMag so they can see how well they work.

The sad thing is After my sales speech I usually see a person go to my field owner and show him a picture of a Spyder Flash or a Cocker in AGD and say "I want this one." I ask them why and they say the picture in the mag looks cool.

Have pity on the ignorant. Let them believe what they want. We must be the mag desciples... http://forums.paintballcity.com/show...hreadid=221746 observe my first post. notice the words at the bottem, not the sig, above that. WE HAVE TO SAY THAT TO EVERYONE WHO HAS NO EXPERIANCE!!! Think about it. a cocker owner cant convince us that they have more range, becuase we know they dont... and we cant convince a cocker owner that the range is equal becuase they are set in there ways... we must ignor the old and focus on the new players. tell them not to buy into the hype..when ever someone looks at a mag, they look at a cocker too. its just the ying and yang of paintball.

[Jonno06]

ok,someone said the mag was built a semi and stuff,but wasnt it actually made after the panther and p2?

[Trunnion]

if i recall correctly, the panther was an open-bolt blow back operation, not a blow forward. that would make the design quite different from that of the automag. someone please correct me if i'm wrong, though
