To the few people here I won't name..

Paintball Talk is the main forum for Automags.org. Here is where we talk about the sport of paintball in general and make announcements relating to the forum and website


I think that sums it up that it is a paintball comunity, and everyone can voice their opinion however they wish. if they couldnt, more people would be banned wouldnt they?

this thread was never about a right to opinion. it was about respect for the people who are primarily at home on this site.

perhaps if 80% of my posts were in reply to yours.

a large number of my posts are indeed of debate, argument, criticism and rather liberal ideas. The thing is.. I back my posts without "flaming and namecalling"

the only people that find my posts to be flaming or insulting are the people without the intellectual capacity to participate in a debate without labeling and treating it as BS or a flame.

Hmmm... short of one tit from Jane Fonda. Cheater (w/o reading my point of view on it), and how many other names?

ya, right.....w/o flaming or name calling.

Maybe you should click on your own name and do a "find all posts by this user" search on yourself, and read some of your comments. Then you would actually have some proof to back up my point.

Maybe not 80 percent of your posts are to encourage arguing, of which you are invovled in yourself, but a large percentage of it is.

Pretty soon I could see people bashing pump markers because they can't shoot as fast as a ramping timmy.

...if that was going to happen, it would have happened long ago.

If you think your timmy is better than a mag, then yes congrats you have the number one cheating gun in the industry, that must make it better.

...thats the kind of comments that got this thread started. there is a general sentiment in the paintball community that some electros are better than mags - as they often are for speedball - and mag owners/mag fans are annoyed with that, because mags are still great guns, and then they (and yeah, i know you shoot/shot a freestyle) say things like that about any electro (besides mags) and draw mention to cheating, which annoys anyone with said electro (and many of the people on this board who remain even though they no longer shoot a mag have one of the guns that have been looked down upon for any reason by mag owners) and that starts the conflict.

And to anyone saying this is a general paintball forum. It's not. General paintball discussion is here but this place is sacred to mag owners.. and as long as the name is automags.org.. people need to have respect for the product and company this community is built around.

the name doesnt matter, it isnt ultimate. this is not a static site. it is shaped by the community that inhabits it, and although it was created as a mag site that is not what it has become. it is closer to a general paintball community, a large portion of which are mag owners. but then again, that is a somewhat pointless matter not worth further discussion.

I think the mags coming out today are nothing what I thought they would have been a year ago on this forum and this forum has brought them a long way. Its only a matter of time before the people trash talking AGD start to see the nice gats automags.org put out and regret it.

Mags are more personal to the owners, many of us spend time building are mags piece by piece greatly anticipating the arival of the peculiar mail man with our parts... So what if we are way over enthusiastic and praise our guns way past there worth... If we <3 our mags, and will make them sound better than we know they are, thats because we love our gun.. and that add bps... :) So everyone leave our cute little mags alone.

I don't shoot the freestyle anymore, and i still think the freestyle is what the e-mag should have evolved to (less the issues I had with ICD that I think AGD would have not let happen).

My gear bag is right now contains a custom milled timmy (did the work myself, and I never shoot), a 04 viking, a racegun halfblock cocker, old school right feed cocker (trying to decide how to do this one up), a tippman 68 and an a-5, as as soon as I get some more money I'm going to search out a x-mag with a predator board.

Honestly out of all the guns that I have right now, I still miss having a mag, nothing that I have shot has been as small or as easy to snap out of a bunker as the mag was. The only thing that comes close is the racegun halfblock.

and I made that comment about the timmys to make a point, people can talk down about other guns and say theirs is better, but at the same time people have certain hang ups with the guns they are touting as the "top gun". When people say timmy, people automatically go to "ramping/cheating/overshooting/paintwaster" gun in their minds, crap even timmy owners say its the ultimate cheater gun because of the boards and how fast they ramp.

My friend and I both had the new NME LE (yes its a timmy clone) that had the new ramping was board. We played one day with them and both looked at each other and said "wow....do you feel like we are cheating right now? yea...." and we sold the guns off a week later. I never felt like that when I played with my mag, i knew that my classic mag was only shooting the speed it was shooting because of what I as a player was doing.


I still think that as a mechanical gun, the mag tops the field.

This is not the general discussion forum. To get in here you have to click on Automag owners. There is a section for general discussion if you want to trash mags go in there and do it. No one has said that you cant be here - just be respectful.

Hello, Kai! How are you?

Hello, Kai! How are you?

I'm doing okay.

I'm just coming off of a two-month ban, so I have to be good now. If you could just pretend that I'm being a jerk, and making posts that would get me banned, that would make for much smoother sailing.

I take offense to that, you commie bastard!

[dahoeb]

well first of all,
i would like to thank magman007. he responded to my remarks on the last page, and now i see a little sense behind the stuff he says. i'm glad i at least see where hes coming from now so in the future i won't take offense to what he says.

oh, and second of all, i really do think that this thread has sorta burned out. its time to die, thread, its just time to die.

[slade]

...yeah, i could post something to reply, but i think i second the dying motion...

oh wait, we have to mention hitler now to commence the death of the thread...

umm... hitler would have said what kai did about schoolgirls?
