    I come from the time that there were three semi's on the field. Mags, VM-68's and Tipmann Pro-Am's. (there were a few cockers, but not many). I remember when everyone, including the new players used Mags. It was not a bad thing in any way. To be honest, I would rather the Mag make a come back.

      I, too, remember when those three WERE what today's Tmmy/Angel/Matrix, etc. are. In fact, I onwed one of each at one point. But, I never really felt badly about owning a marker that a lot of others owned. And while now owning one makes me a bit of an odditiy, I wouldn't mind if they made a comeback, as I lived with it once.

        I'd like for Mags to become more popular again. In the LA area, shop owners look at you with a combination of disgust and disbelief when you ask for Automag parts. About the only shop I've found that has any Automags for sale is ANS in Simi Valley and even they don't have much in the way of parts (no lvl 10 foamies).

        If they get hugely popular again, just sit back and wait for all those rich kids who'd conned their parents into buying one to screw them up and sell them.
        God gave you a soul.
        Your parents, a body.
        Your country, a rifle.

        Keep all of them clean.

              mags

              i to would like them to become more popular, but as said before it could become more expencive to get stuff. i agree with rouge, but before i started working there, my local store had some mag parts aroud(velocity adjusters, extra bolts,ect.) and since no 1 was getting them i they would be like "heck u want it just take it" or " whats it say $10, just give me $3". stuff like that was cool, getting the stuff one 1 wanted(lcause every1 around here is on the cocker craze).

              any way, its been interestin to hear your guys thoughts on this so keep them comming.

                who cares? i mean is it that big of a deal that someone shoots a certain gun? excalibers arnt too common, but i saw a bunch of them this weekend. But guess what that means? Nothing. People shoot what they want to, and that shouldnt affect you. As if it matters if the team youre playing is shooting paint at you with a alias or a dm4. Same thing.

                  The only factor i fear with mags becoming wildly popular is, the Quality Control of third party parts/upgrades/add-on. Consider, anno that is too thick can make an rt inopreable. Heck even a quarter turn on the assembly screw will prevent a mag from firing. And what of a 3rd party item causing excessive wear or damaging a mag?

                  I can forsee youngins gettin the ultra fantabulous, new, custom 3rd party rails that wont work on a Nag. Then getting frustrated and ditching the gun altogether.

                  i dont know, just a though.

                  ...ever in the continual search of time dilation.
