Move from Mag to Sp Shocker... Why SP?!?!

[Resurection]

So I have been looking at all the currently available guns and I am real bummed. One of the best features of my mags are their profile (single tube, not too long, etc).

And looking at other guns they all look big, ungainly, or just plain dumb. Except the new shockers. If I were to get a new gun I think it might be a shocker (used of course because damn if I buy from them bastiches) and that just irks me...

Am I the only one that likes no other gun profile except mags/shockers?

Have you checked out the Freestyle? They are just a tad taller than shockers. The Freestyle is also a flow forward bolt system similar to the mags. In my experience the Freestyle, especially the newer FSP and FS7, will out perform a Shocker.

[peewee]

FS7's are great guns. I have a gen 2 . I just measured the length of the body in comparison to my mag. Mag = 8-7/16, freestyle 7-5/16 long. Heres a link to a gen 2 & mag side by side.

Yeah I can see where your coming from. I have thought about it also. You know the "what if I didn't use a mag" idea. Looking at the Shocker it is alot like a mag. A ton ton feels like a non ULE emag to me, but the idea of going SP isn't too aluring to me. I've never really liked anything else other than mags, but I had the oppertunity to handle the G7 Angel with the 45* grip. Me likes it alot. I could grow very acustomed to shooting that marker. Will I ever buy one? Eh, most likely not. But if I was to jump ship The G7 is where I'd go hands down over anything currently on the market. Not only that but there is an Angel forum right here. I wouldn't have to change anything.

that and if you got a Freestyle, i could easily tech it anyday

vikings

mags

shockers

thats what i like.

[minimag03]

There is a quick pic of some of my markers. The Freestyle feels a lot like a mag in my opinion.

[Chaos_Theory!]

I love small profile guns which is why i like mags, shockers, and ions. Im surprised only one person other than me has said ion.

Not a chance on the Freestyle. PUKE GAG GASP. Not for me. The G7 has a kind of DW Cord V2 look about it that I also like. If I were to buy something like an Angel for one. I'd study to the point of being a master tech long before I ever bought it, but good to know.

love the look and feel of mags
shocker..... not really my favorite, but dynasty ones look awesome
love the look/feel of angels too
never shot a freestyle
and AKA's, not best looking, but shoot awesomely

I guess it depends on what your into. IMO Dynasty Shockers are one of the ugliest made. Same goes for the Dynasty ion shell (only because they made the center part of the shell black plastic).

I personally really liked my Shockers, when I got them working right.

One big difference between SP and AGD - SP quality control sucks, they produce a great performance product but I seldom get them working right out of the box.

[WARPED1]

Go SP, because in the real real world(read: not AO Fantasy-land where everything SP sucks, and the mag is still the best gun ever.). SP has great guns. Sure not the best legal department, but product wise very great.
