Automag... A tourney gun?

[TecnoRobo]

Now this is just a general question. Im not a mag basher, I own one and I like it a ton. But is the Mag a tourney gun. I dont want replys about emags or rts. They are both very capable tourney guns. Im just talking about the classic and powerfeed 68s...

I'd like a good answer
If your gonna say no, dont say

no, its not a tourney gun because its unnacurate.

Id like an answer more like this

Yes, i think its a good tourney gun because its comfortable and has a light trigger.

Mainly notice I think... also if you do have an answer like the first one please explain why you think its unnacurate. There might be a problem you have that we could solve from this...

Thanks guys, and have fun.

The automag classic and minimag are tourny guns to an exstent (sp?) in my mind. I think you can do local and small tournies but an automag or minimag is just no competition level enough to be doing high NPPL tournies w/. Some may disagree so may agree.


So your answer yes it is but no it isnt when your talking NPPL style

the automag is very much a tournament gun. it is very comapct, has an easy twist lock barrel, and level 10 which almost completely eliminates ball chopping. then if you want to upgrade, a retro valve can be dropped in to make it an rt. it has a short crisp trigger, which i like very much with an intelliframe with blade trigger. i hope thats helps.

A stock mag, I dont think its welcome in the way of tournies, unless its like rookie stuff. Maby a retro valve.
A mag just cant keep up with these god damned electros.
Even rec ball I get overwhelmed. I mean, these electros are getting out of hand.

i use my mag in tournaments i dont get bashed or anything, i like it, any gun can be used in tournaments, its all in how you use it, i forget what team broke out and used spyder xtras and held their own.

[FeelTheRT]

any marker can be a tourney marker. Look at team Tippmann Effect. They use M98s and A5s and play Am.

thanks guys for all the posts, keep em comin

I think it is a totally capable tournament gun. As a matter of fact any gun (with the exception of the really crappy ones like stingrays) can be used as a tournament gun if you ask me. I bet if you took the highest ranked pro paintball team in the world and made them use spyders instead of their $2000 guns I bet they would still kick alot of ***.

i dont think a bone stock mag is a good gun for tournies. one thing, a bone stock mag from 888paintball doesnt have a barrel so it wont do any good anyways. if the mag had intelliframe, warp, (retro but u said not to talk about it so this dont count), lvl 10, and a n2 tank it would be the ideal intermediate paintball tourney marker, but nothing compared to the nppl's guns that they use in it

[Emagster]

the stock mag or mini mag...i dont believe it is very tourny ready. a stock mini/mag IS a very good gun for rec ball and the sort. but lets face it, what tourny player EVER has a stock gun? a tourny player is going to do everything to their gun that they an afford MOST of the time

[WhyIsItUpsideDown?]

Stock? No. No barrel

Upgraded, OF COURSE! Manny's old RetroMag is the shiznit, and he plays NPPL, well now he has a SFL or Extreme I think but still he used his RetroMag for a while proving that the Automag is a competing tournament level gun.(after Retro, Intelliframe, barrel, Nitro, Revy)

[WhyIsItUpsideDown?]

To sum up my last post, one word.....

MANNY!

[Thrash]

It doesn't really matter whats in your hands in a tournament. ITs skill that matters more. If your really good, you can take out a few electros with a tippmann. Some people really suk with a good gun. I an automag is a good tourny gun is because of its reliability. I never had problems with mine. Plus if you don't shoot fast think of the money you are saving. I played with a works autococker and he had a revy but he shot really slow and took out a lot of guys cuz he was good. He didn't need to shoot fast. Thats my opinion.

[Blazingace]

I believe that it can be used as a tourney gun with little or no upgrades. With a few upgrades they rock. My Lvl 10 HyperRetroMini is superfast. Faster that Cockers and as fast as high end electros. It is very accurate with a good paint/barrel match. In fact I shoot too much paint with it.

Here are my thoughts

Stock mags on CO2 just dont work as well as one with a good setup. Currently im running CO2 ( still dont have the money to buy a tank, the gun still works well tho ) but i have a nice setup that could probably pass at a local tourney or intermediate.

I personally dont care how fast people can shoot with there high end electros. Dont get me wrong i would love it if i could fire that fast with my mag, but i hate playing spray and pray.

So i really think its your personal prefrence. I'd rather shoot a mag than a cocker ( we wont get into that )
