Why do so many people hate mags...

[jesseyo13]

dryden hit it on the head. THe only advertising I see AGD to is here on AO. THey need to put the pic of the new tac one and the new hair trigger over on pbn were everyone thinks mags suck.

Shoots fast as in faster then you can really pull? Does it have shot buffer and bounce setting and all that fun stuff? Can you adjust the trig to feather touch?

You can adjust the trigger, just like every other gun. It has "trigger sensitivity" which is basically a bounce setting.

And It will shoot faster than I can pull, but I can also shoot this faster than I could on my emag hands down. Which reminds me another reason I didn't like my emag was the trigger. The thing was so wobbly and sloppy, everytime you pulled the trigger it moved in a different direction.

[FlawleZ]

Sorry, I'm calling shenanigans on that... unless you're using RT bounce or you have a DW prototype that none of us know about, there's no way you're pulling 14-15 on a mech. It's hard enough for people to do that on an electro without bounce.

What's so hard to believe about what I said? Have you seen Zak's video of him shooting 16 BPS NOT rapid firing? Yeah, I have an RT. That's why you can shoot it that fast.

The same reason that people diss any marker. They are dumbasses....matter of fact there are a couple of AOers that are guilty.

Who cares what they say about mags?

If they're stupid enough to make ignorant comments like that, do you really even care about their opinions?

[SlipknotX556]

Most of the time around here, when people see mags, they have seen in the past, them chopping. So they have only that one memory of a mag, because they dont take the time to look into what mags can do today.

[PsychoBaller]

Lots of people Love mags, and lots of people hate mags...

But I think the people that hate mags are just insecure with themselves... so they have to bully those that they know are cooler than them

-da "yah I'm cool, wut of it?" baller

Also, has anyone shot an emag side by side w/ a newer timmy, trix, or hi-end impulse? It doesn't compare to them. The E was way ahead of its time years ago when AGD released it but expecting that it remain so forever is a fallacy. It needs to undergo a major revamp. Look how many versions of timmies there are; the reason it stays at the pinnacle is because it kept evolving. Evolve, tom!

show me one vid of somone firing their marker without full auto at any where near 20 bps...but on another subject... there are so many different mags out there.. the only thing tom does different is when he finds something better he puts it on his base gun.. ie .. xvalves are now standard on rts.. lvl 10 is standard with x-valve.. ule mainbodies standard on rt..all of the trigg frames can be put on a ule custom.. does bob long offer a classic timmie with the option of was a different grip frame or a better reg.. no he makes a new gun for it. the hatred behind mags is simple it isnt tinkerable thus apart from cleaning there is not much left to do.. that can be boring for the young no life hack that says mags suck!!!

[rabidchihauhau]

omg - so much bull-speculating.

I've had a powerfeed mag for what, 10-11 years?

Its got a medusa frame, a level 10, one of the first ever gas-thru foregrips ever made for paintball, and one 'custom' mod (enlarging and aligning the gas passage between the reg and the valve of the A.I.R.).

It shoots extremely consistent strings - like 298, 298, 298, 298, 298, 298, 298, 298, 298, 298, 298, 298, 298, 298, 298, 298, 298, 298, 298, 298, 298, 298, 298, 298... you get the idea.

Its been used all over the world and everywhere it goes, it gets the same reaction: 'what the f*** is that thing!?'

(pewter grips, extreme drop forward, brass barrel)

My answer is - go shoot it. They do. Then I always hear: OMG, its so freakin accurate, can I use it please?'

You can take all the electro bs you want, all the milling you want, but when you can't hit a toe across the field UNLESS you dump about 200 balls on it, I'll keep my mag.

It NEVER chopped. It did have shootdown in cold weather with co2. Its heavier than most these days, but then, I used to use a VM68 in tournaments, so this is LIGHT!

[shorty13]

well i can't say that i have had the best history with mags. but i do admit the dumbest thing i have ever dpne was sell my ule mech mag. i had a few guns after that and just wanted another mag. so i bought a hyper frame mag and that was the worst decision i have ever made. no offence but the hyper frame sucks. i dont think that electro mags are really the best things in the world but like the x-mag is sweet. but i agree with many of you that mags hold up in the weather they shoot no matter what and just kick a**. (as long as they are mechanical )

[Flow_Tech]

all teh kiddies at my field are scared of me and my mag..heh,its pretty funny when you can outshoot WAS+ACE vikings and timmys with a mech gun,and yet,with no chops..me=LOVE mags.. to tom for making a GREAT product

[RenagadeOfFunk]

HERE IS YOUR ANSWERS!!!

1) Not many different choices...
-68 mag
-Minimag
-Rt
-Rt Pro/X-valve
...and bodies are just basically looks
2) Heavy unless you pay 200+ to lighten it (ULT/ULE stuff)
3) People would rather pay at once to get a light /fast gun
4) Bad reputation from stupid people (bad accuracy/can't shoot like intimidators/Angels/ect.)
5) Air Hogs
6) If you don't get eyes you get a lvl 10 (which you have to tinker with every case or two...and sometimes it still leaks/ask nato)
7) People don't like tubes?...

...People (well most of them) want fast/sexy/consistant/low pressure/light/adjustable (electronics)/easy to use/easy to maintain (my intimidator is the hardest to so far, but its not "hard"...it just takes longer...but i don't need those 10 minutes anyway...ITS SUMMER!)/and no break (eyes/levlel10)...

...I love AGD so don't get me wrong...(thats why I had an RT Pro and a custom e-mag)

[badmajik]

One of my friends uses a Spyder Imagine (Wal-Mart Gun), he tells me my mag sucks. I don't even bother telling him how great it is I just show him how great it is on game day.

[Automaget]

I hate people like that who tell you that your gun sucks because its just plain mean to tell people and ignorent there buttholes for telling you that your mag sucks then screw them becuase they dont know what there talking about, I have 2 poeple fighting over the dumbest thing right now on whos impulse is better and its just plain stupid because neither one is going to budge on it so i just try and stay out of whos marker is better and just being mature about it and if I like my marker than i like it dont tell me that it sucks because you dont like it, I would just brush it off and say whatever.

[drewrw]

I have a good solution next time someone says that just break their nose, then, shoot them in the nuts with the "sucky mag" lol
