Why do so many people hate mags...

[AnArchist_1944]

when ever i go to a local feild in my area and i say hey i just built a mag and i tell them what i put togeter they scoff and say mags suck mags are dead and such and i dont know why. like cockers have been around just as long but people are in love with them well some anyways but i just put $800+ into my mag and these comments frighten me.

what do you guys think?

[Enemy]

alot of people are ignorant.. they dont believe that a factory peice can be as good as it gets and thats what the mag is..just shake it off and gun for em the next game then ask em how come your crappy gun just helped you beat em!!!!!

[Prezents]

Dont be scared

I find it funny, most people making these comments have heard someone say that "mags suck" and it has stuck in his head. Most people making the comment have Never shot a mag. You cannot make a comment like this with out trying it out for your self.

people alot in paintball think averything in paintball is about looks

honestly what looks better an 03 wgp cocker or a stock automag?

that is what people go on let people know there are something called upgrades to make it look better if that is all they care about.

DONT JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER!!!!!

When I finish my mag and tell my buds I have a mag.

First thing I'm going to hear is that mag's suck, even though our local tourney field uses them for rentals

I wanna see what they think of mags when I finish mine...

This might help...

Q-Why do I always get made fun of at my field for using a Automag?

A-because you aren't giving them enough welts with it.

Well i've owned both a classic mag and an emag. I don't hate them but I'm not really a big fan either, same with cockers. I just don't really like them all that much.

Here's how I felt about mags throughout using them.

Classic - I didn't think weight was an issue until I held it. Shortstroking/chops were not fun. Did shoot faster than my model 98.

Then I got my Emag - ULE definately a nice touch. Level 10 helped the chops. Again faster than previous setups.

(few months go by)

Level 10 is getting on my nerves, cannot get a good setup with it, always seems to have a baby leak somewhere, leaks even with the smallest carrier I had with all springs and shim configurations even after all orings replaced. Trigger went fubar, started not shooting until I pulled it at least 5 times. Always tried adjusting magnets and trigger pull, didn't seem to help. Promise of new awesome software just around the corner, will send in mag to get tuneup and new software when it comes out...they garantee it will rip!

(few weeks go by)

Well they canceled the new software I was waiting to come out, still leaks, doesn't even pinch paint all that often. Not satisfied, sold on AO forums.

Next purchase was my DM4. Not a single problem yet, not even the smallest leak. Has worked like a dream. Exactly what I want in a gun, shoots fast, no chops, nice weight/balance, no problems. Have only had it a couple months but my old emag in no way touches this thing.

Bottom line, I wasn't satisfied with my mags. History, whether experienced through myself or someone I know will probably always linger when I go to buy another gun. Like my roomate had a BKO for a short time. That thing was a mess, which is why I don't like them. Mags have a history that is going to be hard to wipe clean.

I think people hate mags because they look like beast out there and dont have all of this funky stuff flying in the wind like backblocks that move around and suposedly look cool wich its not very cool at all, But i guaenite that if you made the automag to look better more people would come to the automag name but untill then automag will be a much smaller buisness then all the rest, But in other news MY AUTOMAG IS COMEING IN THE MAIL YEAAAH

Posts like these keep coming up over and over again with more frequency, and all I can keep thinking is, if people are telling you your marker sucks, you should probably take your business to a different field where the jerks don't hang out.

I just played at an annual charity woodsball event this past weekend (The Bash), and I noticed two things that really surprised me. (1) 2 out of every 3 barrels was either an All American or Freak, and (2) 1 in 10 were using an Automag or had an Automag as a backup.

Don't fret the opinions of the 17-year olds with their Matrixes or Angels or DM4s - show them the working end of your Mag instead.

[Butterfingers]

A person who dislikes has his own personal opinion... A person that hates has an agenda.

Dont worry about it most likely these people ar the types that brag about which one of thier barrels are bigger.

It used to be that it was the Mag vs. the Cocker in the tourny scene. And the arguments were like Coke vs. Pepsi. Personally I have had both and enjoy both. Currently I have an '03 cocker. Next on the purchase list is a Tac-One. I think the Mag started to get a rep. of being a paint blender when the original RT came out. Now they have fixed that,, but people are not willing to forget the past. The Automag is still one of the best markers on the market IMHO.

mags = different therfore mags = gay?

[The Action Figure]

yeah my field was like that, until I shot out one of thier sponsored semi-pros who shot a dm4.

[JimboRR]

All of the local tourney balls down here in Texas say mags suck because they chop, well i havent chopped once, and i can walk that thing faaast

The main prob is mags used to be pretty heavy and chop alot, but now with the ule they are much lighter, I've seen many good teams that all shoot mags.

i find if u go to the chrono and sweetspot it and pull of anice string u wont have any probs the rest of the day
