Long live AGD!

i love tippmann, my 68 carbine is one solid peice of equipment. I was thinking about getting 1 when they 1st came out and doing all sorts of cool stuff to it, but at the time, i would rather spend 350 on a mag than 350 on an A-5. I'm no longer a fan of the A-5 though, 1st time i shot 1 i was thrilled on how good it was, but 3 people in my area have them, 2 of them have had hopper issues, my 1 friend took a hopper it, it went threw his hopper and broke inside of his hopper. another guy took a hopper hit, and the whole hopper came off. and well i don't blame the other kid's A-5 for always crapping out on him, he bought it as soon as it came out, and he's never cleaned or oiled it once, that's not the gun's fault though, that's his. and the whole set up kinda feels week, the entire gun doesn't feel sturdy, i'm sure it is, but it just doesn't feel it.

the only reason i would say a mag is more solid (still no comparison between the 2 though), and easier to maintain is because of mag's all inclosed all in one vavle design, where the carbine is open bolt blow back, so there's more parts that you actually have to take out of the gun for maintainence.
