    Tell Me Why

    Tell me why I should get an automag over a cocker or impy. I want reasons. Please dont post "because there good" nothing like that. I want to hear the plain hard facts.

    Ok but first answer this question:
    Do you like to tinker with your gun during the week?

          I was turned on by the AO community. Awesome, friendly, helpful, and you even get replies from the big "T." I work for a large customer service oriented co. and one thing that really impresses me is when the owner of my co. takes the time, to assure, reassure, explain, and participate with his customers.

          The Mag is an enigma. Amazingly fast, and with a level 10 bolt, you wont be chopping. That cinched it for me.

            Do you like having to sit out a game or two and tinker while everyone else is out having fun?

                Yeah I like to tinker. Ive heard about autocockers though, and that seems a little too much tinkering for me. I just like to mess around with stuff and basically make it so that it might work better than before. So yeah... I like to tinker... but not too much.

                  I reccomend a mag over a cocker because of the reliability and simplicity over a cocker. I had a perfect demonstration at a tournament this last sunday. My teammate was in the same bunker as I and he was just bashing his gun with his hand and screaming. He EVENTUALLY got into the game, but he missed the first minute or two, which is pretty big. Yet my other friend's cocker worked fine the whole day. There is just so little to go wrong with a mag though. However with a STOCK valve, a cocker has a lighter pull IMO. An impy is a different story over a regular mag, I would go for the impy UNLESS you get an emag or ***xmag*** (I also played around with an impy this sunday... electronic pulls are amazing )

                  Oh, with level 10 you wont chop anymore
                  Intelliframe - good good good frame
                  RetroValve/Xvalve - shoot MUCH faster with no shootdown

                  sorry if this is a bit unorganized, im dead tired I probably forgot a thousand things

                  final note: mags wont fail on you there isnt a whole lot to tinker with however. You should get some cheap cocker somewhere and tinker with it and upgrade WHILE using your nice mag you also bought

                    number one reason, the president of airgun designs, the president replies to your topic SIX minutes after you post it, and he doesn't give a sales pitch nor does he hype or throw around BS. thats what I like about TOM

                      Yeah, I was wondering what is the pricing on an x-mag because thats what I was thinking. I just want to make sure im not overbudget... Oh and I saw the video of the level 10 w/ tom its pretty cool. Oh and why does it do that? the low impact... does it just go slow or is it light or maybe both...

                        I assume you are asking about LX; well the bolt cycle is in two steps, first the low impact step when the bolt is being held back by the carrier and the longer spring, the second step the bolt kicks forward really fast and completes the cycle

                            its fairly simple; it uses friction to slow the bolt in the beginning and then when the friction is released the bolt speeds up

                            so it goes slow then fast

                            the slow part is where you will have a ball half-fed and it will pinch the ball and reset

                              Ohhhhhhhh... I get it. That makes a little more sense now. And is AO automag owner(s) or automag online?
