NPPL and NO MAGS!

[SanDiegoMag]

This weekend in San Diego (where I live) the NPPL super 7 series was in town.
Not once did I hear the word "Automag" spoken from anyone's mouth but mine.

I know the company isn't doing much right now, but I am DISAPPOINTED at the lack of representation there and in California in general.

Just my random thoughts about the representation of automags and the lack thereof.

Automags ROCK

Well, that's The Way of The Mag.

ok all the posts about "WHY ARNT AUTOMAGS MORE POPULAR ???" are actually getting a bit annoying .... umm .... so yeah .... can we stop complaining about it and just accept the fact that no one else realises how uber we are ?

[SanDiegoMag]

When Qloader and the community college paintball club have booths and Automags dont, it says something. They arent popular either

I know they arent popular, dont flame.

*shrug*

if the hair trigger ever gets released maybe our problem will be solved !!!

(btw, so whatever happened with the hair ? i've been out of the loop for a few months )

Yall got to face it. Mags are just NOT going to be popular in the tournament scene. We know they're fast and reliable, but they just can't keep up with the guns like Intimidators, though they have an unfair advantage, having cheater boards and such.

people complin, yadda yadda, same ol' stuff.

and then they wonder how they "stole" the plans.

I thought that a frenzied alias passed the test a while back. The test where the robot or computer or whatever is actually hooked to the gun and monitors if it is bouncing or not.

Oh ya, Smart Parts guns don't have cheater boards... INSTALLED FROM THE FACTORY.

Leave your crap out of here.

AGD is focusing towards scenario ball. I don't think that the NPPL counts as a scenario event.

no offence to any one, but mags just arent what they were. for te past few years, everyone has ben saying this is what will bring mags into the light. first off was the x-mag. everyone thought, mag, level 10, and ace, light weight etc etc is the perfect combo. and it pretty much was, did it make mags more popular? NO. how about level 10? decreased efficiency, not good, and not what the general public wants. again not good. Ule mods, lightened mags even further, still didnt revolutionize the mag. How about the hair? i still doubt it will revolutionize mags. maybe here on ao, but not in the public eye.

I have felt the hair, and it truely is amazing for a mech to have that pull, but John Q public, isnt going to go dumping their 1000+lectro for a mech mag. they just arent. i have shot cockers with lighter triggers than the hair, and when was the last time you saw a mech cocker really rocking the tourny scene? 2001.

Face it guys, the mag just isnt what it used to be. back in 96 the mag and cocker dominated the tourny scene, but from then on, no one has evenr eally used them, until the jax warriors got on their winning streak. where are the warriors now? who knows! when was the last time you really heard a damn thing about em? never.

I wont take any thing away from the kids, they did really well before agd dropped em, and i give em props, but they didnt hit the big time big enough to really be noticed. all any one seems to care about is what ______ team is shooting, and the marker that has the lightest trigger, the easiest ways to get the bounce( or get rid of, or cheat with) with___ marker.

Look, i used to be the biggest mag fanboy, but now, im all about the matrix. the mag like design is a plus, but the awesome triggers on the dm4 and dm5, the lightened body, the awesome performance, the no chop bolt pressure, and the ace ontop of that, not to mention that it can be tailored to my needs even more than my sfl e-mag, makes me gleem with joy.


Guys, come on, the mags are still great, but agd has realized, until the mag name goes away, that there really is no market in the tourny scene for mags any more. no one wants em, they still have the negative connotation that they once had, despite the developments made to improve em, and everone still says EWWW a mag? my impy runs circles around it, or my timmy pwns it, etc etc. and in my general opinion, they are correct. an impy ruins a mech mag, and in some cases, a well tuned e-mag. sorry guys, but i feel it is the truth

We all use X mags, and we ranked 18th Pro last year in the Millenium Series.

[magman007]

and that is nothing against you, but do you really attribute that to the marker? or to exceptional playing skills? also what trends in europe have really made it here to the US?

[yakitori]

magman, do you see this glass of water as half empty or half full? Geez, everything you typed is pessimistic, towards mags, and kinda toward europe. And btw, lots of trends have made it from europe to the states, it just takes a few years to get here. (Im referring to dress/fashion)

anyway, doesnt matter what gun you use. Id take my emag over any impy anyday, but thats me. Serves me well, never chops. I see guys w/ impys w/ vision, and other guns w/ vision for that matter still chopping. Its kinda a contradiction, you discuss the bad aspects of mags and say that other guns are better in some ways (which is fine), then you hint that it is skill and not attributing sucess to your gun.

Emags are plenty fast. 20bps cap and I can get mine up to about 16 and I have slow fingers. and it is consistent too. What more do you need to eliminate ppl w/.

[magmonkey]

"and that is nothing against you, but do you really attribute that to the marker?"

look at the fanboys, dynasty wins with a shocker so eveyone has to run out and buy one

because dynasty won with them

the same COULD be atributed to mags again


just bacuse AGD has moved to sceniaro play does not mean that the emags are not a great

marker, I would not trade mine for ANY marker, possibly and TWO MARKERS out there

it has always worked for me NEVER let me down, fast as sin, while I am on that subject

the marker is capped at 20 bps and its slow? can you pull 20 bps, I can't ..... oh wait no one

can sooooo if you have a marker that is faster and it is capped at say 28 or uncapped can

you pull 28 on it,................. nope unless........... do you think that.............. naw a


paintball manufacturing company wouldn't build a marker against the rulse of avaer major

tournament league and the ASTM standard. just to give players an un needed unfair

advantage.
