AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
i found a broken bko and learned how it works made a new gasket and tuned it up. a long time it took because i had to take apart and put togther alot and eye up without testing with air. there is just soemthign about it i like. but back on topic my mag is what i use for my paint slingin. soemthing about it just makes me get out less and be more agressive. and with the warp no one sees where in comin from. the only problem i found was tuning the lvl X. another possible problem some ppl might have with mine is the weight. its not really heavy by itself but with a warp and halo its a bit heavy but that diesnt bother me because when i shoot my barrel doesnt go up. /end of rant i geus what im tryin to say is simplicity is beauty and the best example of this (non paintball related) is nature.
I have my Xvalved Micro which is so fun to play with.
My CCM Series 6 when I want to pump (which is getting used a lot lately).
And my 03 Viking, to electro's what a Mag is to mechs, what a workhorse.
I too have had G7's, Egos, Cyborgs, etc but settled on the Mag, AKA, and pump.
I am all about mags and cockers, my newest aquisition my Emag, its nice, though I have been playing alot lately with my classic, I just wish I could get stainless rail, foregrip, and frame for it...polish all of that up, and have a ultra heavy tank for a gun. though I may just settle for clear annoed parts, and make it solid clear/chrome...Dave Youngblood style!
the fact that mags are one of the fastest guns still today (cycle rate defiantly makes them still keep up, just look at RT's with high input!) and the first mag made problably still shoots like it did the day it was produced makes me smile that I have found my other perfect gun. that and cockers, I have grown up with them, and it would be a shame to get rid of them, but they have to make room for the mags coming in!
It's funny how every year, you see new and updated version of guns being toted by players. Suddenly, this and that are outdated, and everyone needs to rush out and buy the new thing. In stark contrast, mags haven't changed much at all, because they work fantastically and people love them for it. There's no reason to bring out "new and improved" versions every year, because mags are already so good that no matter what version you may have, you'll love it.
It all seems to come down to build quality. For a while, I had an LCD Matrix and a Piranha Evo. While the Matrix was fast and all, there was just something about the Evo that kept me coming back to it. It was just so well made. Then I got my hands on a mag...
There have been a lot of changes in the marker market since I posted this. Not only so much in the market, but the fact that I could afford to buy some nice markers in between this time frame. Eye logic has gotten much better, so the LPR thing that people were trying to do has kind of fallen by the wayside. Boards have improved and with the cap, its not all about speed any more.
I still use my mag for almost all open play, just because I like and feel comfortable with it overall. When there are air fill stations just off field its great. I never use enough paint in one game to run myself out, as a matter of fact I normally play hopper ball anyway. Just in any situation that air is an issue, such as large scenarios and tourney play I have a tendency to use something a bit more efficient.
I really had gotten away from cockers in the past years. When the bottom fell out on their market and all the better parts started getting hard to find I let a few really nice ones go. I just bought another when they ran that special on the 04 prostocks for $100. Generally though, I don't "upgrade" a marker anymore. Besides a barrel which everything needs out of the box, I have left the rest alone.....except for the mags, and thats only looks anyway.
So yeah, as far as a mechanical marker goes I would have to say I still fell pretty much the same way.
