Mag

[AGD202]

i won an A-5 at my local field... i turned around and sold it back in 2 days... they suck compaired to a mag

AGD has been around for a VERY long time. And they've very high quality. Just look at the crazy tolerances used in mags. Basically, the Mag will have a lighter trigger pull if ULT'd, or a responsive trigger without becoming a gas hog without ULT. Also, it will look better, weigh less, and be more reliable internally. Oh, and its field strippable unlike the A5 which requires the removal of about 5 pins to take it apart.

A5's aren't bad marker, but it doesn't compare to a mag. I could bet you'd get a similar answer to mine anywhere you ask, even on the tippmann owners site.

let me ask you this, if mags were undoubtably better for the price, why wouldn't everyone buy them over tippman a-5's? and i see alot of A-5's at my field. however, i would have to say that i'd prefer the mag personally because of reliablility, ease of maintenance, and kickass-ness.

This is going to be such a Bias poll.

Any way i would rather have a mag becasue they are much lighter and more compact.Also they are very reliable.
Although the tippman is reliable it is heavier then my SS mag and not field stipable like my mag.One benefit to the A-5 is you dont have to worry about chops..but then again there is the LVL10 for mags,even though it can be a bit of a pain somtimes it's nothing , major.
Another benefit to the mag is it is soooo upgradable you get so many options.Theres not to many upgrades for a A-5.
A mag you can make look good and still have a fast reliable gun.The A-5,wel to me you cant make them look good but thats opinion.Ive also heard that tippmans quality has decreased slightly.I dotn know how true this is.

Ive shot both and i prefer the mag mainly becasue i know how to fix i and it is small/compact light and fast.Also the (pricy) but nice upgrades you can get.

every1 buys a-5's cuz a lot of the people play rec. and they probably have not heard of a mag because you dont see too many at fields anymore


and tippmann is kind of known for rec play... but im not saying that their pro series 98's are not good for a tourny cuz my friends team uses them and just came in 1st place

[atm743]

really for woodsball a classic mag ( like minimag or automag) with level 10 and a tac-one body whould be good

you dont really need the x vavle unless you want the lightness and fast shooting but really do you really need to shoot fast in woods??

thats why i bought my rt pro 200 bucks and has an intelliframe rt pro valve with level 10.

i was going to get a classic but i though 200 for rt mag is a good deal

the a5-s are nice as well but they are a bit bulky and if you are in the woods i dont think they will be good.

one + for the a-5 in the woods would that it can have a flatline for long shoots

but really ill go mag for the small size for hiding by trees and its jest a mag what more can i say

[Jakedubbleya]

Are you serious?

I dont even own a mag, but comparing one to a glorified tippman 98 with spin-feed? guffah!

BTW everybody buys A-5's over mags because mags have only recently become affordable, everybody still thinks of them as 500+ guns. On the other hand tippman has posted 50 ads in every 100 page paintball magazine sells their guns in virtually every store and has sold low-performance high durability guns for eons.

Besides they are ugly and loud

(lets see them stand up to the ion tho hahahaha)

Mag, I owe a tippmann (98c) and its a great gun, but it can't compare to a mag.

[Chronobreak]

tac one hands down

tippmanns are great guns in their own respects but i would have to reccomend a m98 with rt before an a-5 those feed sytems suck and get hit ALOT!

36 to 2 , i win!

[AnimalMother]

Tell your stupid friend that AGD's been around since the 80s, and only one of three companies that are still around from that era. I doubt Tippmann's one of them.

[Soopa Villain17]

thats wut i did tell him , when i got my first mag he told me he never heard of an "automag" and they were nothing like his a5 , i told him they were alot better and told him about them , he still thinks his a5 is better cuz its full auto, he is pretty dumb , i think i should no about paintball , ive been playing for 6 years, he thinks he knows alot but he claims that tournies dont allow hpa, they only accpet co2 only he claims witch i no is bs , and says that his tippmann is alot more versatile because he can run co2 or hpa witch is true but when your using a gun with c02 they dont perform as well as cthwey would with hpa , when i talk to him again ill send him this link and prove that he is dumb and nos nothing about paintball ,thanks for the help guys

I've got both. I use the Mag (E-Mag) most of the time but I've got the A-5 for the times when CO2 is the only thing I can get. Of course that doesn't happen very often.
