am I the only one...

...That notices a lot of people obviously make up stories here about mags? I mean, like they will be saying how somebody talked a buncha crap about mags, then they used one and were blown away? All the mag owners here have one of those stories...

I dont see how they are unbelievable

Am I the only one who doesnt have jonneh's theme music playing in the background 24/7?

It's possible they *are* true... ignorance can be beaten.

I have a friend in auto-tech who used to talk madness about Fords all day till he took a ride in my F350 4x4 and got some first hand experience. Now he's not anti-Ford... then again there are people that will never convert. It's how things are.

I let an Angel shooter try my RTP. It's left handed (Warp-right) with a Z-grip. As you can imagine it's not something anyone just picks up and is usually comfortable with. He said had no problem shooting leftie.

He liked it a lot. He said it was a lot of fun because it was so tight. I don't think he was going to give up his marker of choice. I thought it was cool he appreciated mine for what it was.

Erm...um...was that last nights dream?

Everyone makes up stories about how everyone at the field is blown away by their gun. Just go with the flow.

One time, I went to Pev's, with my Stingray, and it couldn't chrono, and they laughed at me, and told me to get a real gun, and Jeff's dad bought me a joker...

theres only one thing on these boards that i hate than that. its when people try to CONVERT others to mags. its like we are running a paintball cult or something. you always hear of people being like "i hope i play good so i cant get some people in my field to convert to mags!" its so dumb

[Mav D MagMan]

Shush or I'll call the high priests!

You do have a point there, but doesn't everyone want to be the start of a cool trend?

Well, Im glad brak agrees with me...and what the heck are you talking about bob??

I've personally converted a person or two from anti mag to at least "mags are decent." That, and it's never how well you can talk trash, but how well you can play. And, I've noticed that a lot, not all, but a lot of people rely too much on their marker, and not on their skills as a palyer.
For example, I know every aspect of my mag, balls per second, veloicity, paint to barrel match, etc.
That, and when most people see a Mag's simplicity vs. performance they are really impressed. Also, look how easy it is to fully disassemble a Mag vs. a Cocker. Plus you never have to "Time" a Mag. It's little things like that.

Most people just like how my micro is so small, compact, and light.

But thats it.

That's weird... almost all the people I regularly talk to about paintball/play paintball with say mags are decent or mags are pretty good.
