X mag mentioned...in a WGP ad!!!

[paint magnet]

"For any Autococker (tm) threaded marker. The Kaner Barrel system is always the best choice for your Autococker (tm), Matrix, Intimidator and New X-mag."

I think it's awesome that WGP decided to list the Xmag among the list of cocker threaded markers, but I do find it ironic that they called it the "New X mag", since it has been around longer than Matrices and the Ebladed cockers. This ad was on page 54 of the Feb/March 2004 issue of Splat magazine.

Anyone else see this? What do you think?

It's just the love coming out

I think it's a smart move by WGP cause now people will see these barrels as multi gun barrels instead of cocker barrels.

True, but it will always be called cocker threaded.

See... Mags and Cockers are like brothers... except with different parents.

Tom and Bud are friends, I think. I've seen pics of them shooting/holding each other's markers - it's cool that they can both respect and like each other in this world filled with competition and hate.

They certainly are the 2 most down to earth(but freakin' smart) people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I wish the lake was loaded wit'um'!

in todays low world of lawsuits and backstabbing paintball companies its only fitting that two of the only stand up guys left are good friends even though they should be business foes. throw in the tippmanns and palmers and youve got almost a complete list of the originals who are still around and still doing honorable business.

Wasn't aware they'd been out on the open market that long. The earliest Matrix review on PBreview.com was from 2001, and I doubt that it took 3 years before someone wrote a review on one, given the popularity.
