Ok. Honestly do you believe that mags can compete? I have found myself asking this question while I browse these forums. Ive owned several mags, and I dont think any of them could compete in the tournament level. This really concerns me because back at my start at tourney ball in 2003 I shot a stock minimag. Sure it was nothing special but it got the job done. I used to think that mags were the greatest things out there, but now im questioning myself. I would like to hear you non-biased opinions. Put all of your allegiences aside and answer. Do you believe that Mech mags can compete?

Compete where? Rate of fire of the new supermarkers (unless we are talking something special like an X / Devil)? Efficiency of a Viking? For a mechanical marker I think they are the best out there, at least readily available. In the world of electros I think there are better markers. I could use a mechanical mag and have minimal influence on the type of game I play, considering how much I shoot. My back players could not."Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. Its not" - Dr Suess -
I mean in any tournament. Are you saying it depends on your job on the field. would you agree with me in saying that your mag would be better for anything than say a shocker. I guess what im asking is where are mags place in paintballComment

I wouldnt second guess my self in using my dragun-mag or my emag in a tournament. I am looking at it like lohman is as being a front man. I have the speed if I need it and when I dont I have a very reliable and light marker. Mags have a certain place for certain people, just like every other marker. Its not a matter of if a marker can perform in a tournament, its a matter of how you perform with the marker.Comment

My Devilmag when I had it was as suited to play as a Shocker / Matrix or any other high end super marker out there.Originally posted by The Action Figure
When I play speedball, and yes I compete in tournaments, I go out with a 45/45 tank on my Matrix. I carry two pods and a hopper full. I seldom go through it. I tend to fire three shots at a time at exposed targets only with little to no laning or shooting of bunkers for cover purposes. A mag would be fine in my hands, for what I do on the field. My backplayers who fire 15BPS, rely on ramping when allowed, and pod often would not find the mag suitable to them. For my purposes it is likely as good as my Matrix, though I like my Matrix for a proactive anti-chop system over LX."Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better.

no marker is better at everything then any other marker. A backman doesnt care about weight as much as a front man and doesnt need manuver as much, but needs to shoot as fast as possible. A middle guy needs to be just as fast, but doesnt need as much extra weight, but does need to manuver very well. A front man needs the lightest total equipment and manuverability, but shooting fast isnt as important.Originally posted by The Action Figure
Then again I like to play front with my SC mag against angels and e-cockers.

Yes, it can compete. No, its not the bleeding edge of tech.
/has Dmag as wellGod....I guess I was probably returning videotapes.Comment

I definantly know what yall are talking about, but I play front and i would have rather had my old angel than a mech mag.Comment

Sure, I'd rather have my Matrix than a mech mag, and thats why I do. But I could do it with minimal difference with a mech mag regardless.Originally posted by The Action Figure"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. Its not" - Dr SuessComment

Im on a tournament team and do serveral tournaments in which I use my E-Mag, does fine(By the way i play front) I think they can compete!Comment

Technology wise no, an agd mag cannot. Only custom mags have the needed modes to compete in certain events. They can hold up fine in other tournies though. Can you use mags and win....yes......but then again you can use 1999 spyder compact and win if you have the right guys on the team. There is no right answer for this and it is brought up in every gun forum.my feedback
countdown on devilmag day........ill let you nowComment

the real question is can YOU compete

I believe that a mech mag can compete if it set up properly, LVL 10, xvalve, and either a very well tuned ULT or a pneuframe. but thats just meComment

Not on the national level.Originally posted by etjoyride
The only mags that can compete on a high tournament level is a well-tuned and upgraded X-mag, or a very upgraded E-mag, or a devilmag.
Speed is king, and you must be able to set ramping modes.Comment

as long as you can control the rate of fire as determined by the rules of play you would have no issues running a mag at any tounament..Comment
