get this:
the other day i was talking to a friend of mine that plays on the U of I team. I asked him what kind of gun he plays with and his response was a tippman. Right then i had an apyphany. heh. Anyways, when he asked what kind of gun i had, i told him "a mag" and he started to call me a moron. When asked why, he merely said "they chop all the time and are horribly unreliable". Meanwhile i'm thinking "what a moron" and tried to end the conversation because there was no use even trying to talk to him, he was too assertive and billigerant. And then, ofcourse, he did what i had expected and told me to get rid of the mag and get a cocker or a tippman. That's when i gave him my awe inspiring disgusted look and walked away. i don't hav the time or patience to talk to people that have no clue what they're saying.

hopefully i'll eventually be able to talk these people down and make them come to a realization of the truth... but untill then, my disgusted look will have to do

My trick is to take good care of my guns and make sure they work perfectly. Get on the field, and let them rethink things - using the business end of my Mag instead of words to do the convincing. On more than one occassion I've impressed recball people with the sheer volume of paint that I can lay on them if I want to. "What the hell is he shooting?!" I love hearing that.

And it's even better when they ask to see my gun... "That's a Mag?!" Hehehe.

I get stupid comments all the time - and I pop their bubble by not responding (They always have this look as if they were expecting you to react or say something back).

What they have to say really doesn't matter. Anybody with half a brain will figure out that Mags are fine... and those w/o that half - a wasted effort trying to change their minds.

I can't stand talking in the WGP forums, or even reading them. Its sad that a few Cocker Jocks can make a whole group of people look like idiots. I have a simple solution to deter the ignorant, meet them on the field.

I also love it when one of those jocks suddenly yell: uhh...ummm.. JAAAM!!!

I've gotten the same thing from guys with spyders, telling me my mag sucks and that I should buy a spyder. Even after I just lit their whole team up like a christmas tree.

Ignorant cocker owners are my favourite though. It can be so much fun when you show their friends (they can be too thick to realize it) that you know more about their marker than they do. Most of the fools can't use the cocker any where near the capabilities of the marker anyway.

It's bigger. prettier, and more complicated....it must be better.

I do like cockers though. I think the problem is that they look too nice. Mags look plain, so people buy them for performance. Too many people buy cockers to look good, just for the image.

I'm still laughing over "cocker jocks" hahahahaha!

Hehe...funny, I have a little story to share as well. Last week, I went to the indoor field near my place. There were a few kids at the chrono and they saw my mag. I chrono'd up and two of the kids with cockers wanted to check out my set up. So I let them rip a few and the only comment I got went something like this..."I don't like it, the trigger is too sensitive."

I was thinking to myself, too sensitive? Did he mean too short? I mean, he didn't chop or anything so I just held it in and gave him back his cocker.

I guess I realized that the only important thing was that I was happy with my marker. But I guess if he was happy with his marker, then all is good. Not worth trying to convince someone when they're not willing to listen.

i'm in complete agreement with you gibby. although there is one more step, show them on the field. but if that fails, let them be, there's no use tryin anymore...

If they're a cocker owner, when they say 'dude, mags suck, get a cocker!', you should look intrigued and ask to try theirs out. When they hand it over, try your very hardest to shortstroke, make leak, chop and whatever else. They give it back giggling.

If you're feeling really devious, steal some of their plumbing!

tee hee

There was this one time..

when i was playing at CHAOS in Battle Creek MI, their team was practicing, and playing "light up the walk ons", and after one game a guy with a cocker goes: "what the heck is that?" and points to my VSC Phantom that I had shot a total of 3 tubes of paint out of in 3 games...

He asks if he can shoot it, and i let him, he goes: "WHoah! taht's pretty cool, i've never shot a pump before".

It was interesting to see the reactions when I actually got a couple elims against those hosers...

magman007 did this friend of yours live in San Diego, there is a field down here that's call Velocity. The thing is San Diego and most of So. Cal. is Cocker county. Almost 70% of players in So. Cal. are Cocker owner. It's just a matter of ignorance and geography.

**Jonno06** · 03-31-2002, 03:46 PM

there arent any cocker jocks or whatever at my field.I shot a few cocker,and a few nice angels yesterday,and everyone seemed civil.No one minds what gun you have....

GUESS WHAT..i saw a mag at my field!(it was a standard feed classic,but it was a mag)
