I just ordered my Automags.org jersey from CSG. And I can see that I'll be ordering a more subdued one later on, a bright yellow isn't normally my style (but for videos, it will look cool...), so I'll need to talk CSG into makign a subdued green jersey now, or do it in black for the woods games I like.
But it got me thinking, as basically a new 'mag user, I've already had some fun stuff with the E-mag here. So I thought I'd share. Well, that and I'm over-tired from rendering videos and I can't sleep, but that's another story.
As a player swapping from pumps to the E-mag, I'm still on the learning curve. This week, while filming, the E-mag starts choking. So I check all the stuff. Plenty of air, the warp feed works, it all looks cool. Then I notice the grip is flashing like mad. And I learned a new part of paintball mainenence. "LOW BATTERY". Thankfully, there's a "Manual" switch, and we could get in the last two shows I wanted to film.
So, mental note. Recharge the batteries every 3-4 cases of paint. Don't ask how much paint we use to film. You don't want to know...
The other fun thing. At Shatnerball, playing on a bad ankle and all that. I was hobbling up to the corner, where the field bent to the right (on Tom's team...) So I make my way to the absolute back row of the shooting, and some guy with an e-gun (I want to say an Impy, or a Timmy, they kinda look alike when your ankle hurts...) is trying to longball. But you see, he's holding the barrel HORIZONTAL to the ground.
So I look over his shoulder, angle the gun about 30 degrees, and shoot a ball over the target. And in a few shots, I'm raining paint on some guy in an airball bunker. The gu turns to look at me, then at the gun. "I didn't know mags could shoot that far!"
You know, perhaps I've learned too much from pump play, but am I the only guy who knows how to make a paintgun shoot 200 feet by angling a barrel? And sometimes I think that it's me, 5 airsmiths, and a few old timers who know that 300 FPS means your range is essentially the same as everyone else.
I don't know, I'm waiting 'till I can get out to play for real, not in a big or scenario game. I'm still waiting for someone to ask where the hopper is on my gun. I've gotten that with my SC Phantom, and with the warp (which is almost foreign up here...) I'm expecting it.
Just havin' fun tonight. Feel free to add fun stuff.

Personally I learned that back before kindergarden when playing catch!
