    Why do I own a 'Mag. Good question, and a somewhat long answer here.

    In my opinion, the best gun I've ever shot is my Free Flow Autococker. Just a simple pleasure. I also love my Angel SE.
    Knowing there are many people that may "bash" that choice, I say So Be It, 'tis what I like.

    I've owned a p/f mag (about 4 years ago), polished RT, polished p/f minimag. Loved them all; but have sold them all for various reasons. The minimag was the most recent to go to help fund the purchase of my c/f E-Mag.

    Although I'm still working around a few chopping problems & solutions, I still enjoy shooting the thing. Although I do not *perceive* it as the most accurate gun - in my hands - it's still a pleasure to own a very high quality piece of art from AGD. I love mags for their simplicity in design & maintenance (except E-Mag for obvious reasons, cleaning is a bucket of water, or hose, away). So many resons to own a 'mag of any model, so little room to type a reply. They are among the few guns I recommend to people looking to move "up the ladder". Tippmanns are the gun I tell people to get for their first. Autocockers & Automags (depending if they want to run CO2 or HPA) are nearly always the next in line.

    AGD makes some of the best, most reliable stuff on Earth; and that is reason enough to pay more for some of that best!

        Why I own a mag..... well lets see.. "Because Quality Always shoots straight."

        When i fist saw mags,they were all upgraded. since i was a newbie, i did now know that you had to upgrade them from the start. Also, i wanted a gun that you can litterly dunk in water, and they'll still shoot(hahaha) And i needed a gun that really throw the paint out there, cockers just SUCk at doing that, unless you know how to pull the trigger, and mags have some of the shortest pulls out there.
        I settled on my RT pro, and i love every shot. its been through it all... rain, mud, sand, cold, heat, dust, trips.., bunkers, and ofcourse taking the gun hits

        now if you can understand what i just said..., but hey, thats the beauty of mags, you dont have to say anything, the opponets will just look at your face..

          well I didnt know a thing about mags... all i did know was i was gonna get a reeel good deal if i bought this minimag from my friend for $340 and hi gave alot of stuff too! and i thought that since it was going for around $500 for just the gun awhile ago (2years i think) but longer i had it the more i loved it. he sold it to me to buy his box with a long barrel (shoker)

          things i like about it-
          its got a body like no one else's
          it has that "Unique" sound that makes people mad
          so many upgrades and cosmetics
          I can tinker with it and it wont blow up (mostly)
          it hasnt broke down on me even once and so easy to clean and fix
          and casue tom made it and he is nice lol

                        Are you making fun of my Moderator pic? :) That was the first pic I found, I didn't realize I had the shadow thing going on.

                          hehe i bought mine cause i was in propaintball (the store that makes free-flow cockers, run by members of lockout) and i was talkin to eathen (the designer of the free-flow and ex-captian of lockout) and he told me he shot a mag for years and loved it...and that there is a guy on lockout who still shoots a mag even tho the team was sponcered my the makers of the freeflow, that right there spoke volumes, they even had one of his mags for sale (a beat up old mini) so i bought the mini, restored it...still love it btw (i dont know his last name but the guy who shoots a mag on lockout is a red head named steve, cant miss him he has like 2 feet of hair ) in one of the iron city viden by THS lockout is playing joy division and you see steve and luke of lockout working the swedes, luke shooting his freeflow right next to steve with his stock lookin mag bty freeflows ima are one of the very best cockers out there, im not trashing them at all, very very nice guns...but i like my mag
                          Tom was the last of a now extinct breed, a breed of players who build a community, a breed of owners who gave to the sport never taking more than what they deserved. I hope to see you at the feild again some day....

                            i bought mine because i liked the way my bro's shot, it is rather easy to maintain, and is a really light weight gun with a low profile.

                              my brother had bought a rainmaker, froze 3 of them up so he got a cocker for an even trade. He put pneu's on it and it was nice, but had problems with it getting a nasty trigger pull after playing making it a must to clean the whole gun inside and out no matter what after every game. A couple friends had bought mags. My brother said I wouldn't like em, but I tried out the one kids. I loved the pull. They had got them for a very reasonable price so I put in my order. I have now been ripping them apart, tinkering, and making custom stuff for over a year and a half. To me mags have the best quality. The guns may not have the features that would suit my tastes, but I know the package I'm getting is high quality and high performing.

                                In one of my first games of paintball, I was hiding behind some fallen trees when I noticed this guy from the other team running accross the top of a ridge. He seemed too far off to hit me, and when I tried to reach him my paint fell short, so I figured I was safe. He looked up at me aimed his marker at me, took just one shot, and hit me square in the goggles. (he was not an any big incline either). I literally watched the paintball fly into my mask. After the game I spoke with him, telling him about his great shot. He showed me his marker and swore by it. It was a classic mag. Since then, I always wanted one.
