Why dont any good pro teams use them?

[freek133]

This was said to me by my best friend about 5 minutes ago, heres the coversation.

FrEeK133: dude,
Freek Pballer: ?
FrEeK133: check out how clean this gun looks
FrEeK133: minus the sock on the tank
FrEeK133: pballa's mag
Freek Pballer: thats nice lookin
FrEeK133: Is that a powdercoating on his body?
Freek Pballer: This i cannot tell you
FrEeK133: why not?
Freek Pballer: b/c i do not know
Freek Pballer: although i think powdercoating looks more matte
FrEeK133: yeah, thats what I was thinking myself
FrEeK133: I think warp bodys on mags look good
FrEeK133: I'd like to have a black teflon warp body on my mini
FrEeK133: but in aint gonna do that
Freek Pballer: B/c u know warp sux?
FrEeK133: no, because I want to spend my money on an e mag conversion
Freek Pballer: and warp sux
FrEeK133: I dont know why your dissing it
Freek Pballer: b/c it sux?
FrEeK133: I think its cool
Freek Pballer: Its a cool idea
Freek Pballer: but tell me this
FrEeK133: I think its an effective way to get paintballs into the gun for bursts and all that good stuff
Freek Pballer: why dont any good pro teams use em?
FrEeK133: probably because they are paid to play with something else

I am of course freek133, I just wanted to share this with you, It cut me real deep. "why dont any good pro teams use em" ... it cut me real deep.

I had to rant for a second thanks for taking the time to read.

I don't think many tourneys allow forced feed.At least not around here. 'course,the Halo is pretty much force feed.

Warp is/is not forced feed. It is but it is legal because the warp needs a hopper on it, which is fed by gravity.

Warpfeeds are used by some pro players, like Bob Long (which is for me a good reference, to say the least ).
He uses it on his 2002 Timmy, with a warpfeed and a halo B.
His rate of fire is, humm..., let's say high .

I don't think the warpfeed is an answer to all the problems, but it gives a nice advantage in some cases, if you know how to use it.

Most pros don't use them only because they are embarassed to be different from the crowd. I can tell you positively they all hate playing against them because they say so.

yeah..there's a shot in a Traumahead Sportz video from I think the Mardi Gras Open where the camera is right over Bob's shoulder and all you see is just a straight line of paint comin out of his Timmy..it's awesome...

and as far as pros...We've got Manny from Aftershock (RiceRocket here on AO) who shoots an SFL and a Retro Mag (and boy does he run like a cheetah)...and Kenny Klamper also from Aftershock has a mag as his backup gun. There's also a guy from Am Team Static (or was it Exile) who shoots an eMag.


and how could you guys forget Robbo...that guy has been a Mag guy from way back...that guy is the man...

Who now shoots an IR3!

Although in a recent mag v's cocker debate did say that anything he won he did so using a mag!

Damn right! woulda been nice to kit out the new Xball team with C&C's that'd been some nice publicity although I can see why WDP got in there being a brit company and all.

Pic and heres the proof!

AGD-E is also a Brit company .

But I bet the choice of the IR3 is more linked to money than anything else (like always with the pro players).
