How many of you own/regularly use an automag

[Arstron]

Is it a nice marker? Sure it is and it may be perfectly suited for your requirements and use. Is it THE best? Not a chance.

I am curious, what is the national requirements for being the best marker then?

If someone says that their marker is the best, since they are talking about their marker specifically, then they are also saying that their marker is the best for their style of play. So its not wish full thinking, its not hype, its a true statement.

I don't think you would find any individual marker out there, or make of marker that is "the best". For one its too based on qualitative things (looks, feel, etc) and the quanitative things (efficiency, recoil, speed, etc.) don't seem to be with one marker. Saying your marker is the best, hands down and leaving it at that is wishful thinking, is hype, and is very unlikely to be true.

An ION. Or apparently any marker that is NOT a mag. It's really a pretty pointless argument anyway, because it's all preference. I also don't know why it concerns people so much when someone says they have the best marker (be it a Mag, ION, DMC, Spyder, etc. etc.) Let them be happy with what they have. It never does anything but make people angry and start flames. Now, if they have a cocker...(j/k: I own a Sniper II ).

What was this thread about again?

Amen, let's get back to the topic.

There going to have to start a basic reading comprehension class for members of AO apparently. Just for the record, this is not stated as opinion, this is stated as being "hands down" fact.

I use a warp left all-black ULE RT custom, it's sweet, but I don't use it as much anymore, only whwn playing woods and stuff. Why don't I use it anymore? Cuz I got an X-MAG!!. (no further questions needed). It's the best marker ever made, hands down.

Thats not stated as opinion, its stated as fact. Frankly whatever marker you own at the time is not necessarily the best. I owned an e-mag, was it best then? No. I owned Shockers. Where they the best then? No... the fit my needs closest but they were nto the best marker. State opinion as fact, on this board, and you will get on it. Don't like it post on PBN where I have seen Spyders that are the "best gun out there".




By the way, the idea behind this thread (ironic it was the first post, and oh look, a thread I started that has been reasonably discussed)

So... how many of you own an automag? Of those that do, do you still play with it regularly? The reason I ask is this, people have been getting annoying with whining when the discussion turns to something other than automags. I would love t discuss the next new thing from AGD... especially if it were selling incredibly, unfortunately reality has invaded that dream. If you don't want the people who don't own automags posting... fine. My thoughts on that, if only Automag users frequented this sight you would loose a lot of accumulated knowledge. Maybe I'm wrong, but the anti-anything but AGD as of late is getting annoying. And before you call this mindless droning, I have a DevilMag ordered... I feel I can state my opinion.

I've read the whole thread previously. My reading comprehension is just fine, thank-you. And yes, the topic was reasonably discussed until post #83 by someone name Lohmann466

Bah... I never let things on some forum get to me so it always remains friendly, well as friendly as I am at least. As for the first post and what I asked for, I never did ask for opinions of the marker, I did reread it. Did I overreact? To him sure I did, but to teh example... no. The best marker in the world is not necessarily the one you own, I wish more people would realize that.

[ultralight]

the first marker i bought (other than the splatmaster when i was 12) was a used automag.

ive been playing with it and slowly upgrading it (x valve, ult, ule, custom milling) since.

it is and always will be my primary marker.

[alooney11]

Gotta love the rapidfiring rt, some people sont like it though, mainly those i am shooting at.

[HOMELANDEFENDER]

Depending on the event and "Mission" of the given senario. Senario games / and woodsball are usually what I participate in . Now that I've completed my TacOne setup, I'm going to use it as my primary workhorse. But if the call for long range support or fire suppression is needed for the Team, then I use my Flatline A5 with RT trigger. Its sort of like a long range Shotgun. And my "failsafe" gun to back up those two is my Pro/Carb. I find that having three markers for traveling to different events is smart. Murphys Laws has strange ways of materializing during events far from home. But I'll even enjoy playing the Pro/Carbine as well. Theres something about its simplicity, mixed with very good accuracy that ensures it will always have a home in my Dye Navigator gear bag.


HLD...

[MarkM]

I still own,

1 Phantom
1 Sterling
1 Colonial (mag copy )
1 Autococker
1 Minimag...not sure of the serial number I will have to dig it out and see
1 Shocker (Brick shape)
1 Angel Speed (Predator now installed)

I did also have a Bushmaster Line SI pump and an Angel LCD but they were both sold
The Minimag I have never shot in anger, although it was used when I got it with a broken feedneck but the body was swapped over for a brand new one. The list above is the progression I followed.

[cougar20th]

ive got 3 mags right now. only one has been used. that is my pumpmag. its used on AO days mostly now and when i just feel like using it. rarely ive got 12 guns total. the other two are a custom zgriped rt that i need to finish assembling and a eclipse classic mag that just needs orings.

[REDRT]

Mostly I use the Emag, but I still enjoy use of the Classic RT. They are the only two I own. My brother has 5 markers. 2x mags a Emag and an RTP custom. His Mags get used 99.9% of the time. Honestly they are not the latest greatest things but they still hang tough out there. Why use anything different?
