I have an RTP, and to be honest I miss the weight of my all SS noob sleighing machines. .....

I havn't changed in 3 years, lol

[cockerpunk]

ah, the years since 2k4 ...

back then i was a cocker snob. yeah, ill admit it. yes its how i got my s/n. started playing paintball with a spyder, then moved to cocker. then spend tons on upgrading it. by about 2k3 i had a really nice STO, loving it. i still would love to rock that gun. at around that time i started to lose my cocker-snob. mainly becuase i started playing pump in 2k3. now im a pump snob

anyway, i currently do not own a mag. but i did have an excellent RT pro once. shot wonderfully. sold that, and now i have as my mech an AKA merlin. as much as i love how amazingly simple and relible and just awesome automags are (im a Mechanical Engineering Student BTW), i enjoy shooting cockers more.

one thing that pump and stock class players always will say - feel is everything. most good guns will perform to bascially the same standards, but what seperates them is the feel. i love phantoms because they feel a certain way, a way that my carter or a sniper doesn't. same with mags and cockers. i just really love the feel of a smooth slider trigger cocker more than the "plunk" of a mag.

no doubt mags are superior guns to cockers. faster, smaller, lighter ... but i could never get over how great it truly is to shoot a nice autococker. i have been around here alot lately, looking to pick up an E/X mag or maybe just a ULTed ULE.

variety is the spice of life. gotta keep things interesting.

same here. I have had and sold so many mags i wish i would not have done.

Tell me about it.

The mag and cocker legacy will live on. although, mags appear to be slightly more elusive than the autococker, only because they haven't had to change in such a long time. But why should they? A mech doesnt need to shoot over 15 bps to be comparable to an electronic gun. (granted the rt valves CAN...)

I always look at new markers and am curious to try them, but the mag will always be battle ready. You really can't go wrong with something as simple and rugged, thats built with love for the game.
