X-mag or micrococker?

[SpringFlingYing]

"Perform on the electro level" is an exceptionally vague phrase that really doesn't mean anything except for probably one thing: 'has an electronic trigger', somewhat synonymous with 'it can shoot really fast'.

It seems obvious to me that the "electro level", or at least those respectable e-markers, is generally marked by a high ROF. I'm not aware of the legal limit at my local fields or in certain tourneys, but, as you tell me that both will be able to exceed them, my goals shift towards my own pleasure at home that comes from squeezing it to its maximum potential, which was, in fact, a large aspect from the beginning.

EDIT: I would like to add that this "staging area performance" that you mentioned is silly. heh, silly.

You come to Automags.org and ask whats better, a mag or cocker?! Are you just dumb?
If you go to AIR powered and ask that question, everyone will vote micrococker.

Heh. You laugh, but it's not exactly that far fetched. I see it every weekend when I step onto the field, and I see it in the forums with every "LOOK @ PICS OF MAH NEW GAT"! (There's another guy on another forum who continually refers to his gun as "my sweet timmy", which, now that I think of it, vaguely reminds me of "my precious.") It seems as real a "performance" criteria as anything else. When teams 'recruit' players, first question is... "What kind of gun do you have?"



Other things to think about, other than "pull the trigger, ball shoots out" type stuff are size (and distribution of that size) and maintenance. And MAYBE air efficiency.

The cocker's a double-stack.
The x-mag's a single.

The cocker's got the annoying pneumatic front block.
The x-mag's got the annoying battery pack on the front.

The cocker is more efficient with air.

The x-mag can still operate with fried electronics.

A full maintenance sweep is much easier to perform on a mag than a cocker.

Larger selection of crappy upgrades available for a cocker.


None of these have anything to do with 'shooting really fast', but they're still very important in my book.



I'm curious as to what kind of argument the AIR folks can produce. Maybe I'll hop over there...

Wow, go with the cocker. That is awesome.
