biased against mags

around here they are as bad as you think last time i was in my local proshop the guys were like yeah a kid came in a tried out this cocker and sold his mag to get one. So i was like ok and he kept going about how the kid just put an I-frame on it and liked the cocker so much betterthats when i told him i would never give up my Mag for a Cocker.

Cursing with your post count! Not going to get you much of a warning. You know better. One more chance... cphilip

I go through the same thing on a daily basis. It got old fast so I started going after the same guys every game who had cockers and angels. After a few weekends these guys started getting tired of being eliminated by the "sucker with the mag," so the tried getting me on their team. No way no how. All the junior players on the field are now wanting a mag, so just keep your head up and start turning theirs.

All of the poeple here dont have mags, there are some cockers, timmys, angels ect. but reason there arnt many after market parts is b-c #1 Agd made the gun and they dont try 2 rip u off so that give u the best from the start. #2 most aftermarket mag parts will do u bad unless Agd makes the parts them selves.. such as retro upgrade.. WARP.. intell frame.. then all the bodies, soon there will be all the Alu stuff out( i think)

thats what it seems like when i bring my gun in. its not very "tricked" or maced out real nice. i just like the simplicity and low profile of mags. it seems like there, because its not chrome with ton of gadjets on it. they are the kind of people that would hit your 12x with there angel and instead of apologize and shake hands after the game, they would ignore you cause there better than you. oh well. once guy is nice, hes Tito, hes a great guy.

edited out derogatory name - watch it! cphilip

There are a surprising number of 'Mags in my area, no bias here. Everyone gets along in the shop and on the field....even the Tippy owners!

**Miscue** · 08-07-2002, 08:10 PM

I just shoot at people on the field and they shut up.

**m98bmx** · 08-07-2002, 08:17 PM

yeah, they shut up when i nail them for popping out the same spot every time

That should answer its own question. Most people put aftermarket stuff on there gun to make it perform better and some to make it look nicer. Mags don't need all the fancy gadgets to get better performance. They are near perfect, right from the factory.

There are also a large number of mag owners where i live. Mag owners around here get as much respect as cocker and angel owners do. At least at the stores and fields i go to. I have even talked to alot of cocker owners who are selling theirs for mags.

**Emagster** · 08-07-2002, 08:22 PM

I know how yo feel, but i also feel really good in a since. Mgas at my local pro shop are always looked down on. when ever I'm about to play a game a frigin ref is always like "so, what do oyu think is better? a tricked out automag or a stock cocker" and he always asks this to a cocker dude and he's alwys like "uhh, well thats a hard question. I guess i owuld go witht he cocker since they have way more accuracy and distance" and I'm just standing there grinning thinking...."HAHA...and ya'll actualy think ya'll know aht your talking about" of course...I always go out there and shoot about 3 ppl a a game and the cocker guys are like...yea...I got about 2 guys out. I'm special.
but a change of events actually happened the other day. i was out at my field and I was talkin about my e-mag and the manager was like "yea...e-mags are pretty sweet guns" andthis is coming froma cocker jock that thinks mags are low on the totem pole. I was like

. but very happy.

The problem I have is that the fields I go to rent mags. People with there own equipment ask me why I would by something that they rent to newbies. One thing I do like is that Tom Kaye has regular articles in APG. Says something about how much the people at AGD know about paintball.

**blackmag3** · 08-07-2002, 08:33 PM

while there are not many mags around me i seem to be in a well educated area. most people even seem to know about what attributes to accuracy and no one slams anyone else's setup. also i never hear the "my (insert marker name here)shoots farther than anything else" comments. although it is hard to find anything mag related things at any of the stores but so far no one has been slammin on mags. or any other marker for that matter. we all get along. too bad it isn't like that everywhere.

**j.t.** · 08-07-2002, 08:43 PM

I always like to play on the same team as the people who dislike mags. I'll group up with the cocker guys and play with them all day if i can. Usually by the end of the day they have a new respect for automags and the people who shoot them.

(I was known as "level 10 mag guy" by all the cocker shooters last time i played)
