mags slowly getting a good rep again?

[FreakBaller12]

Well today I noticed somethin.g Mgas seem to be getting a good rep again. There doesn't seem to be as much flame towards them. I think it's thanks to AO getting the word out and AGD for makign such great products.
What do you guys think?

[Ov3rmind]

It has improved some.

[RtDaNiMaL]

i agree with you. but there are those stupid (i emphasise stupid) few who still hate the mags. i have no clue with wut the problem is with them but o well.

[paintpiggie]

i say we shouldnt really worry about mags being more
"mainstream" in the eye of the public.

let our mags do the talking.

and just enjoy and ooh's and ahh's of the crowd.

It's funny because, the complaints were:
Mags chop too much= LX
Mag bodies are ugly= ULE Body(and others)
Mag triggers suck= ULE Trigger kits

[personman]

There is still one complaint left:
Mags are gas hogs.
There really isnt much AGD can do about that one, sadly. Well, I dont mind it. If people really have to get a case off a tank or else they will pass out, thats fine. I dont mind buying all day air.

But yes, mags are getting better reputations, IMO.

[WARPED1]

Yeah, maybe Evolve could make a nice bolt kit. It worked wonders on the new Shockers.

Sure they were, until the announcment to not sell electros anymore.

One step forward, two steps back.

[RtDaNiMaL]

sadly u r right they are gas hogs and there is not much AGD can do about that

(unless we get some one to help out)
cough-Tom Kaye-cough

Didn't Tom say that he might put out a completly new marker as soon as the SP issue is worked out?

Agreed.. AGD was so far ahead of the other companies to me, right up until that announcement. Now I look at my mags, and just shrug. I am hoping that AGD will prove to still be AGD and put out a quality marker, not just another Angel clone (or whatever). I hope for something innovative, something new, and something that does not play towards hype, but towards function - like the E-mag still is.

[Chojin Man]

Me too.

At this point it is waaay to early to speculate on anything though. We will just have to wait and see what happens.

[GoatBoy]

Actually, there are still two drawbacks.

First being gas efficiency, which you guys have already figured out.


Second being cost.

Cost is a problem? Except for the x-mags, used mags are so cheap it should be illegal

I think you're right, mags are slowly moving back up in the paintball world. It probably has to do with super-sexy guns like the x-mag, but more so the introduction of ULE parts and LX. ULE and lx solved mags three main problems.
