      Superior skill coupled with an inferior marker will overcome inferior skill coupled with a superior marker


      Is amazing how many people can't seem to comprehend that

        QFT


        I have never felt outgunned with my mags, X, minimag, etc... I will however say this, while it may not have ramping ang all the other helper modes(lets be honest here, they make the difference), there really is no difference froma DM4, timmy, etc, when in true semi mode. The only beef I have is efficiency and total number of shots. Other than that, I would gladly take any one of my mags to a tourney any day of the week.

          I think that saying might fitr to the MQ valve they were working on for the Mags...While it uses a Mag body..thats were it ends.

          Question.

          So devil Mags use lvl 10, or do they use lvl 7?

          The ant-chop feature as not the only selling point to the lvl 10. Remembering Toms interview that I saqw on the net, he also said it reduced recoil because it's alot lighter then the lvl 7, also because it was slowed down it was easier on paint because the bolt did not move so blinding fast...also yah got a Foamy on there

          So my question is, would it be BETTER to put a lvl 7 on a Mag that has eyes, or would it be better if you just used the lvl 10 with the smallest spring..or fastest, most efficiant/ hardest on paint set up?

            in that case, the issue of whether a mag can "keep up" or not is immaterial, as it apprently can.

            also, what is basically being said is that in the hands of the right player an automag is more than adequate. so, the "keeping up" part is situational and not true in every instance.

            Florida peeps...step up!!

                      What's the big deal about eyes? I built more complicated electronics my freshman year in college. Eye's are no better than a lvl 10 or JAM Bolt (autococker). In a level 10 or JAM bolt the firing cycle basically mis-fires, resets and fires again. An electronic system does the exact same thing. The only difference is time. But lets be realistic here. The difference in time is in the 1000ths of a second. There isn't a human on earth whose reflexes are so fast that in 1000th of a second they can move their marker out from the bunker, shoot you and dive back into the bunker all while you mis-fire one shot in a string of 50.

                      We are reaching the Law of Diminshing returns here. We can go faster, down to micro-seconds, but why. When you are already going faster than any human can respond to it doesn't matter.

                        I have played with both eyes and level ten - I would much rather have eyes. In fact as I look at markers, until someone proves to me by letting me play with it for a tournament, I am simply not beleiving that anything works as well as eyes. Eyes - no fire. LX - bolt hits "lightly" paint that cannot go anywhere... I'll take eyes, I know that if the bolt doesn't move it won't break paint. I just don't beleive that with LX after using it.

                          If these fools want to look down their noses at Mags, I say let them. Let them make the mistake of underestimation and we will just mop them up on the field :) Innovation? So the Mag is not the absolute atest design de jour! AGD has a superby design marker, why fix what is not broken? Mags are great performers all around, why or how could you ask for more? Not to mention such a simple yet infinitely superb design to boot. I just cannot see any other marker out there replacing mine.

                          Why choose eyes or LX? I say use both, I do! :) Forget your fancing ramping cheater boards, blah, blah, etc... your shouldn't be using that stuff anyway. No wonder people have such a low view of players, they are Natural Born Cheaters. Sorry kidz, there is no "God Mode" on the field.

                          In summation: Mags rock!
