    weight/accuracy issue

    hi i am thinking about getting a mag (for the first time) and i was thinking about buying a RPG Paradigm mag and i was wondering how much lighter(if at all) it is compared to a tac-one.

    Also how accurate would you say a mag is compared to like an autococker or another high end marker


    thanks!

    The paradigm will be a lil bit lighter than the tac i believe, becasue the tac body is a lil heavier. Accuracy is paint to bore match and has nothing to do with the gun itself. A mag with the right paint to bore match will be just as accurate as any other gun with a good paint to bore match.

      all true

      EXCEPT the accuracy part

      if gun A is more consistent shot to shot then gun B then gun A is technicaly more accurate/consistent

      accuracy=paint to barrel match + consistency

      mags are VERY consistent

          "tac body is heavier"

          yes its a tad heavier than the ule body.

          it has more material hence more weight

              The foregrip attaches to the bracket with a screw or two and is removable.

              Yes, i forgot consistancy, my bad

                  You can, that bracket is just there to.....well be there lol. You can remove the bracket and attach a foregrip to the rail. Im not sure what types of rails you can attach foregrips to but im pretty sure you can with an RT style rail and clasics. I know i couls on all the RT, classics, and rogue rails ive owned.

                    do you own a mag? if so how often(if ever) has it failed on you?

                      why does everyone ALWAYS think that the gun determines the accuracy?????? of course this is only for a little whilw ith most people, i hope........ oh and range, any gun with same paint, same barrel, and same velocity will go same range. the there consistency
                      rt ule custom, boomstick, ult,apoc2k and x board revi, i want:j&j ceramic.

                        I own and have owned many mags and they have NEVER failed me. As long as you oil em theyll never fail you in any way. Mags are by far the most durable guns i can think of. I mean, you can throw one in a pond and go get it and keep playing. They are amazing.

                            Good call man, you wont be dissapointed. The paradigm is great looking, performing and is a great deal for a custom mag.

                              Don't get sucked in by all that paint to bore match nonsense. Use a big bore so you never barrel break paint at the cost of some air efficency.

                              Good paint will affect accuracy more than any one single factor, followed by pressure consistancy. As stated above a consistant marker is an accurate marker.

                              Given those parameters Mags are as accurate if not more accurate than most simply due to the fact that all new ones require HPA, and are double regged. HPA is already consistant and regged from the tank. Then the Mag valve has a reg built right on the back. So given that you have good paint you will be on as well as(most) markers out there.
