what to get

[russ777]

Well i am thinking of getting a mag, but my friends are getting a cocker. I want to know if the mag and cocker are on the same playing field.

Its your first post so let me give you a tip on AO. Try a search for mag and cockers and you'll find billions of threads about this same thing. This is a VERY common question. Always search first, tons of stuff has already been mentioned on AO.

Shoot both. I know people who love one or the other, or even both (like me), but you wont know what you want 'till you shoot it. They can both be bought at the low end spectrum of guns and be upgraded to become performance monsters. You can basically make either gun fit your needs with a certain upgrade path (although, you have to admit that the Cocker can be a little more personalized). I can tell you right now though, both are excellent guns, and I'd recommend either.

EDIT: I find it kind of sad that it only took three posts to turn this thread completely away from what the thread starter intended, c'mon AO!

having owned both (currently own a mag), I'd recommend the mag. 'Cockers are excellent guns, but you need to time them every time you upgrade them (a real pain to learn), and the upgrades for a 'cocker tend to be many in number and high in price.
