Can mags compete?

[Lohman446]

Not on the national level.

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.

I think that may be true in the top division, but 90% of us don't play there. Face it, in the rest of the divisions there are far greater areas we could address than our marker, all of the skill based.

the real question is can YOU compete

prolly not but seriously

[Baby Huey]

I dont think they can compete in most novice and up tournys. But like the post above, I would take one of my teammates with my mag over some of the kids I see with the$1,400 guns. Every gun has its place. I have 2 shockers for tournys and an RPG paradigm for scenerios when it rains and when it gets dark.. Like a mechanic or carpenter, you need the right tool for the job. Merry Christmas and God Bless.

mags definetly can compete....... i mean why not? they're light(for the most part) fast, accurate and reliable....... just yesterday when i went paintballin i was truly amazed to fin that 2 other people had mags there..... a solid chrome minimag and a X valved mag.... the ref didnt care if he cheated so he used his X-valved sear modded mag and hit 27bps on a single trigger frame..... if theres any other gun that can do that please tell me...... then there was how comfy my newly acquired Z-grip was, thats special for mags too....... like a couple people mentioned its all about what the player wants from his marker

the ref didnt care if he cheated so he used his X-valved sear modded mag and hit 27bps on a single trigger frame

Key words.

well heck, if your allowed to cheat, then most high end electros out today could shoot 20+ with a single finger trigger. I dont see that as a vadil argument for mags in tournaments.


Anyway, i really feel that it depends on your level of play. I have used mech mags in local 3 man events, and won. But, i wouldnt feel comfortable busting one out at a PSP event (not to say you couldnt, but, i just dont think it would serve you as well as a high end electro in that situation).

And exactly what hopper was he using when he hit this...27bps?

I don't think a mech mag can compete on the tournament level, but an Xmag or Dmag can.

[sol tank]

i think any mag except the classic valved ones can compete. My mech mag shoots as fast as i fan my fingers on the trigger which makes me happy, and how i kno i will never have to worry about my mag dieing on the field, even after 10 years. Plus, the mag is very versatile. Just put new lowers on it and you got an electro! The mag can be made to fit anyone standards*except for not being LP*

my hypermag will compete just fine drew. In any case, mags will do just fine. Why ask? its more the player than the gun. Ive seen paintmagnet take out dm5 shootin ppl with a nelspot pump chrono'n 240.

"my hypermag will compete just fine drew. In any case, mags will do just fine. Why ask? its more the player than the gun. Ive seen paintmagnet take out dm5 shootin ppl with a nelspot pump chrono'n 240."

I have seen people with a barrel go and take out players by tagging them...no marker in hand. It certainly doesn't mean it would work every game.

"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."

So is there some difference other than milling between an X and E mag that I am not aware of?


"the ref didnt care if he cheated so he used his X-valved sear modded mag and hit 27bps on a single trigger frame..... "

Calling BS on that one


" Honestly do you believe that mags can compete?"

I believe that when in Rome do as the Romans do.
I wouldn't take out a mag at a real national tourney and try to compete. Could I make eliminations? Sure. Could I compete? Sure. Would I be at a major disadvantage against the rest of the field? Absolutely.

I regularly pull out a warped mech mag for practices and such, but for the sake of my team I wouldn't put them in that situation during competition.

I love my mag for the rec level. No gun can beat it for its durability, lightness, quick ability for snap shooting adn mech anti-chop system. Even when im playing against shockers and older angels i can still compete. its when im the only guy with a mech gun on the field and everyones playing with shockers/angels and using them to the full extent. still i do my best and i only buy new guns when ive outgrown what im using. ill most likely always keep my mag cause i love it for my style but eventually ill pick up a matrix or something alike. the most important thing is that your gun will not make you better, your the one handling it.
