I can see you guys got some brotherly love going...but yes you should go with the automag. The automag is actually much easier to clean/maintain then a tippmann, shoots faster, more accurately than a tippman and flatline, a lot more upgradeable, and a nice small package instead of a running around with a long stick.


All in all, check like www.pbnation.com, www.paintballdojo.com, www.pbreview.com, and www.completepaintball.com you'll see a lot of tippmann's up for sale cheap because no one wants them anymore.

Automag:

Reliable, stainless steel build, good service and warranty, easily maintained, simple, high quality, many nice mod being made by AGD(proven to work)

Tippman:

Tough, cheap, plastic/ steel, not as good of service, more complex than a mag, a couple more mods that might have no purpose.

while tippmans are very good, reliable guns, they are a dead end. the number of upgrades is minimal compared to a mag and they really just don't compare period. although, you have to try it out before you choose. if you like the feel of having your foregrip a foot away, be my guest. but it really comes down to the way it feels. a $1000 gun could mean nothing to you if it doesn't feel right. so, my advice is, go to a store and check them out. or go nextdoor to your bro's room and try playin around with his mag and then let him slap you upside the head when you ask him to take you to the store to try a tippy. good luck with your decision.

who ever thought mathematical inequalities would be used in paintball....lol, and i dont got my mag YET...notice yet, i cant wil til christmas and i get it, i always was a spyder person myself

[Tunaman]

"don't got"? Hey...what skool you went? Prolly same skool I lerned at. Just kidding...

[cheetah256]

tippmann does have pretty good service, i admit it's nothing compared to AGD(no stickers), but they replace pretty much every part for free.

[Bartleby]

AGD has to have the greatest service on the planet. i sent in my gun when i first bought it (used, so it needed a tune up). they replaced absolutely everything on the AIR. gave me a new trigger, sear, bolt, set parts, new saftey on my trigger frame and about 5 or 6 ball detents. all for a total of 45 dollars because it was out of warranty.

[BTAutoMag]

youre asking this on a site dedicated to automags

[ThePatriot]

dont got...its quite a commonly used term man, perhaps its a NY thing only...im from NY if that explains anything, for instance i say forest as Far-est not..For-est and orange as are-ange and not or-ange, and those gang type people use it alot, MAN I AINT GOT NOTIN TO SHOW U....

um, have any of you seen a Tippmann lately? i mean, the path of upgrades has come 10 fold. there isn't much that you can't do to a Tippmann, that you can do to any other gun. in fact you can do more things to a Tippmann than you could do with anything else. and a Tippmann is not made of plastic, its cast aluminium for the M98 and mild aluminium for the Pro-Carbine.

for the 98:
RT Trigger(sure AGD came up with it first, but...)
LP Kit
Flatline barrel
various electronic kits
kameleon(sp?) body kits
modual(sp?) bodies(i.e. the custom 98)
RVAs

for the Pro-series and Carbine:
RT Trigger(a non Tippmann mod, not quite ready for the masses)
Rear Hammer
RVAs

the list can go on.

also, Tippmann may not give much away in stickers or the like, but you can not beat their custom service. you send in the gun, and they will fix the gun, no questions. it doesn't matter if its brand new, or 10 years old(though its much like AGD).

the debate is moot. both companies have great service and a long and varied customer base. to say on is better than the other, is like saying a Mag is better than a cocker, or vice versa.

[Bartleby]

but a mag is better than a cocker. just kidding

to be honest to get the M98 up to the caliber of a mag it will cost you in upgrades. however I have seen an electronics kit that makes the M98 cycle so fast that with a CO2 tank, 2 regs, and pointed straight up the hole gun was covered in ice. Then the moisture blew the electo kit. (oops, glad I wasn't using it at the time.) but man put air on it and it's the fastest thing I've ever seen. it will cycle faster then a stock warp will feed. scarry. The part that got me was he still had the stock barrel on it.
