    My Rant for the week....

    Some random thoughts and rambelings. My brain is fried this week.....

    *Ever notice... that no matter how early you get to the field... you never can seem to get ready in time?

    *The bigger your toolbox is, the more 'friends' you meet at the field?

    *and no matter how big that toolbox is... it always seems to be missing that one part you need that if you dont get your day is over? I now carry a complete replacement shell and doors for my Halo

    *People are always excited and anxious to come out to play. Then you say the one word that kills that quicker than wedding cake kills a womans sex drive :PRE-REGISTER

    *Shooting a mag with a Warpfeed gets you LOTS of attention. Im still not sure if any of it is good though....

    *Always respect that old guy shooting a right-feed cocker with the slide frame.

    *FEAR that same old guy when he discovers e-blades.

    *Speaking of cockers, has anyone else noticed that their re-sale value has gone straight down the toilet? I think of just about every other marker too.... Can you say "Market-Saturation"?

    *I never paid attention to this until I started reading all of the 'debate' threads.. but I definately noticed lots of players shooting mechs at the field that were having great days.

    *"kills" are not as satisfying as they were when I played with a pump.....

    *I saw a group of kids hanging around the chrono station with their ramping Shockers... seeing who could shoot the fastest. They had some kind of "Advantage board" or soemthing. It was definately impressive to see those guys go through paint like that. I always love technology. I wonder where those guys work to be able to pay for that? Maybe I should get a paper route or something too.....

    *There are TONS more upgrades for mags now than there ever was during there "Hey-Day" I remember when you where hot-stuff when you had a 45 frame. I'll take a Chimera frame and Dallara body over a Benchmark and stainless powerfeed anyday. And does anybody really miss lvl7 anyway?

    *When I think about it... its really amazing how many of us still shoot emags.. considering they came out about the same time as LCD Angels. I think Tom put those little yellow on/off pins in the emag to give it the same 'high-end' feel as the Angel LCD with those stupid yellow tabs. Only difference is that the following year, the Angels all came with an On/off switch.

    *I would love nothing more than to lock the AGD, TAG and AKA engineers in a room with a pencil and paper and not let them out for like 3 weeks.

        These are the only things I can agree with you on. Then again I don't play at an organized field or play against people with guns over $250.

          I can relate there. I always try to get there at 9:45 or 10 at the latest. By 10, people are already playing games.

                    I get to the field at 8:30 usually. I dont play until 10:30 and I'm rushing around for the last 30 minutes.

                    The things I alwasy end up needing from my toolbox are the tools I took out of it last night.

                    "Kills" have never been more satisfying when I use a gun that people have believed to be heavy, chops alot, ugly, slow, etc.

                    Not only with a pencil and paper, but a large chunk of Alum. and a HAAS 5-axis CNC. Oh, and dont forget to add Simon (Manike) to that list.

                      Those kids with rampin electros probably don't buy their own paint. Also, I enjoyed the "enjoyed the pump kills more" part. I enjoy pump play also. When I get a Mag, it'll probably have a lvl 7 in it, and will be thankful for a Benchmark frame. But, I'm just a fan of the old school...

                        Remember it? Hell, I was on the recieving end of one last year at AONJ4. AGDJON has an RT with one on it. By FAR THE FASTEST MECH IVE EVER SEEN.

                        I remember when they first came out. A guy had one on his minimag. He was cool, because he had a mini and not just a regular mag like the rest of us. Ha, come to think of it,.. everyone had mags back then.. oh well any how... I shot the thing and it was faster than that Tippman full-auto thing with the pre-historic wind up feed they had. Neither one of them could hit the side of a barn at 20 ft though thanks to the co2 freeze up.

                            You can put it on an RT? Heh, I might have to try that. Right now I'm using a reverse MiniMag valve (pre-star) with it and it's still insanely fast.

                              Please don't be disrespectful to the L7 bolt. It is still my bolt of choice...and yes I've owned a L10.

                              give me a foamie L7 bolt, a fast loader, and quality paint......I won't break paint.

                              Yeah, lots of cool stuff for the AGD family now.
