    Why do people not like mags?

    This is a strange occurance that I see nearly every week I play. I shoot an E-mag/warp and I still get "it's just a mag" from "expericenced tourney players". I really don't get these people at all, the mags I own are the best guns I've ever played with, consistant(+/- 2fps), accurate, and blazing fast, but still mocked constantly. WTF is wrong with these people??

        People dont like mags because of the color. As you can see in alot of pro shops they only sell like spyders and other Flashy guns. People like the Color of the gun and they dont care about how the performance of the gun is.

          because they chop when in the hands of someone who doesnt understand them. Chopping has to be the most anoying thing ever. They are ugly compared to manny guns. they are heavy. dont flame me for this im being honest, this is what people thing.

            Funny thing about the 'Mags are heavy thing.' I had my mag there and the refs were taken with it since the beginning of the day. Anyway one of the refs calls another ref in and says "OMG you have to see this thing!" so i hand it over, and he is like "Wow! how did you get this gun so light?" Mind you I have a 114ci tank on gun, warp and full hopper, so I stared at him blankly for a second, mumbled something about if i had a smaller tank it would be lighter, and grabbed my gun and walked away. Just a little anecdote for ya.

                  Luckly the field I go to is more Mag friendly then most. There are not alot of Mag players but the ones that do come out are respected. I like to think I have done my part to help this. I own a Retro Mag, an Angel, and a E-Mag. Most people think I am crazy for useing the E-Mag over the Angel but when I get on the field they understand why. I also like to talk to people about mags and help them understand why they are haveing problems with chopping.

                  We do have a couple of anti-Mag people, mostly part of the tourney team that think they are gods gift to paintball. They start talking smack about my mag until I step on the field and smoke them.
                  Don't try running, you will only give me a better story!

                    It's the same reason why some people hate Fords or Pepsi or yellow Starburst. To each his own.
                    I've got both a Mag and a cocker and they are both damn nice guns. If I had an Angel, I'm sure it too would be a damn nice gun.
                    All shoot well. All have their probs. All have their plusses.
                    Not all people hate mags. This forum is one of the biggest in paintball. The mag is one of the most well known guns in the game. And as much as people diss it, they know they are up against a formidable gun.
                    Like others said... Tag em out and let them make their own conclusions.

                      I think in my opnion Emag and RT's are the most beautiful guns out there. At my field there's only two people that shoot mags (well regulars that play every week or so). And noone cracks on my Emag. Most asked question is about how the mag eats up the air. BTW why do you care what others think of yer gun? if i got everyone dissing my gun i could really care less what they say, cause I like it.

                        It's a truly sick person, that does not like the yellow Starburst.

                          The guy that runs the shop/field in Albuq. calls me a canadian cause I shoot a mag. And that realy offends me.

                          Actually it's a running joke but it's still funny that he called me that.
