Wishing it won't make it happen. Holding out for a niche, you may be waiting a long time.

I'm neither wishing nor trying to make anything happen. Paintball is going to take its own course; I'm just projecting into the future.

It's not going to be easy, and I suspect it will involve certain parties either dying of old age or otherwise having some health complication that takes them away from paintball, but I think it will happen.

I don't like mag fed gun. They are stupid. I laugh at the mil-sim wannabes when i see them on the field. I find it utterly moronic to see some play walk up with a pump then fire off 5 rounds autotriggering the hell out of a gun like a semi. These are the things i find moronic on the fields. Yet, it is not my place to say no to theme until i am made "King of All Things". I rather like to see all players on the field, more players on the field, regardless of what they are using. So if i like to show up to the field with a minimum 6 guns (classic mag, half block sniper, 2-3 Mags, 2-4 ICD guns, my Axe and my Ripper Resurrection) cause i don't know what the day will bring, who may need to borrow a gun or what the hell is working that day, or just what i want to use tbat day. Don't turn your nose up at me.

Anyway, ever hear of the term "Jack-of-all-trades, Master of none"? Though, your set works for you. You are happy with it. Nothing wrong with that. It in my eyes will fail. I give credit, in that the mag platform can and does lend itself to the modularity and youbare intimately familiar with it, yet this is no so far off the original question, albeit a fun diversion, from the question that this has no credence to that said question.

OK, so we're totally off topic now...

The real advantage of magazine fed guns is essentially... the Warp Feed argument, but on a slightly smaller scale. That's it. I don't go in for dress-up or whatever. I just want the damn hopper off the top of the gun. That's how I've always looked at it.

I agree that it's moronic and borderline funny to see pumpers ATing their way across the field. It's slightly counter-intuitive, but a semi with trigger control is actually more paint efficient than a pump. If a target has a higher probability of elimination with a short, accurate 2-3 round burst (particularly a moving one), it's more efficient to have that at your disposal rather than miss and and then expend the paint trying to eliminate them in less optimal conditions. It's the old "it's better to have it and not need it than not have it and need it" adage.

So the amusing part is this "jack of all trades" argument. (I like to think of myself as a "jack of all tirades".)

I have noticed that people who own a large number of guns just... aren't that good with any of their guns. Dunno if that applies to you or not; just an anecdotal observation.

It's hard to expect someone to gain ... significant proficiency with their guns when they are constantly switching guns, or even constantly switching configurations.

The vast majority of my guns are configured extremely similarly. Even if it's not a mag, it's very mag-like.

So while I might force the gun to be a "master of all trades", the human component means I only have to learn to be good with one gun.

And I'm pretty sure the dominating factor in field performance is operator proficiency with a marker, not the specifics of the marker itself, i.e. it's worth the trade to "bring the marker to me" instead of "bringing me to the marker".

The target audience back then generally had a dick. Get them to think with their dicks, and get all their money.
