HAHAH!

My friend has spent over $500 in a 4 year period to keep his poo poo cocker running.

$500 to keep a cocker running.
$2.00 for oil in a 6 year span for my minimag.
The look on his face when I light him up time and time again...priceless!

LONG LIVE AGD!!!!!!

well, honestly i believe the mags decline in popularity has nothing to do with marketing. its about working upgrades. think about how many marker owners buy the newest upgrade. then think about how many there are for the mag that work properly or even better tan the stock parts.
many owners love to tinker with their guns......that is why i own both a mag and a cocker. to be honest, i love the mag bc it easy to maintain and shoots like adream, but then my cocker is like a hobby......you can upgrade sooooooo much stuff. honestly, if their were other upgrades for the mag to totally trick it out......you would see a huge rise inmag owners

I think you are right about the upgradability thing. It does seem to be the way the market is going. It's kinda funny when you think about it. Look at any tricked out cocker. How many parts are actually from WGP? In many cases, none at all. I don't know why people even bother calling their guns Autocockers. I guess Frankencocker does not sound as good...

Any way that is exactly why I was drawn to the mag in the first place. My hobby is playing paintball, not building a paintball gun. I'm playing this weekend and my buddy with his new cocker won't be joining me because he cant afford to play. He has to dump all his money into aftermarket parts so his cocker will at least be bearable for him to play with.

Hey me too! There is a pirahna or two scattered in, and one kid has a rebel (piece of crap) but everyine else has tippmanns and spyders. And some actually think thier spyders and T98's are better than my Minimag!

Has anyone ever shot a cocker from like 5 years ago. Poor shooting, heavy.... I don't mean to flame, because today's cocker is smooooooth. I am just saying that AGD has had a good product that doesn't need changing for like the past 8 years.
The only AGD ads I have seen lately are for the flatline.
Ohh, that reminds me. Last week playing at a friend's house my friend's bro brings one of his lil punk friends.At first he said my gun doesn't look like it's worth that much. . He was in disbelief after I shot him and let him shoot my mag. The next week my other friend gets off the bus saying some kid was saying mags are awesome like he was bragging. Now I am confronted like everyday by some 6th grader who wants to hear more about my gun like I'm some god. Geez, I only paid like 300 for it with a tank and rev, not much more than everybody else pays for their spyders. They think I'm some huge tourney player, even though my mag is my first gun and I've been regularly playing for about 3 months. It's great just listening to some newbies talk to you.
Honestly though, If I could trade my automag in for a black magic I would, I might even take the black magic over an rt. But still, both are great guns, I would like one of each.

To defend the cocker, do you want to know why people keep and spend so much on them? the answer, brain washing by the elves! i got brain washed and now i have a cocker. now i forgot why i liked the cocker, hmmm....
