i think mags are slowly dwindleing away..

[HyperSnyper]

Well today, there werent that many Mags nor Cockers since there were mostly rentals, but the last time I played (when my Hyperframe wasnt tuned well), there were 5 Mags, some Spyders, Tippmans, and ZERO COckers.

There is alot of reasons about the Cockers appeal that seem to be either preference or false.

Cockers are more expensive $$$ Most people think expensive means better performing.

Cockers have Kewl Pneumatics in the front.

Cockers have a back block that moves back and forth.

Cockers have almost an unlimited upgrade path of parts that have marginal improvements in performace.

Cockers have that false rumor/myth that closed bolt has better accuracy and range... 2 letters... B S ! (been proven false by many people)

There are some people on other forums bringing up the topic that "Jax Warriors sucked because they used sucky guns (referring to Mags), and its the main reason why they didnt place" "Now that they are sponsored by WGP, and will be shooting Cockers, they should end up batter"

NEWS FLASH. Jax Warriors swapped over to their other guns, Angels and Cockers, and they still didnt place.

People on PBNation are so closed minded about non-Cocker/Angel guns. Geeez. We'll see if they are right in the 2002 season.

Today at my field there were two Emags(one was mine), a ReTroMag(Mine also...friend's classic valve was screwin up, so I lent it to him), and about two other classic mags. Now I saw a total of one autococker. There were probably more mags than any other gun there, although there was a bunch of Shockers and Impys also. But the mag will never die! Everyone who shot my Emag just about creamed their pants ! A guy on my team was planning on getting one, and said he is definetly gonna get one now and should have it by next week. I even had an Angel owner who always tells me Mags are gay tell me after shooting the Emag "You know...Thats really nice" !

ENDO!

As I do recall in an old thread, I beleive AGD was at a big NPPL event (hmmm was it the IAO... hard to remember), where there were actually Angels owners ttrading their Angels over to Tom Kaye for some Emags.

I beleive Tom actually posted pics of the Angels that were traded.

AGD is like a paintball missionary, spreading the Good Word and converting those in the dark side toward the light and the truth. LOL =)

hehe, there's gunna be 900 replies to this by the end of the week.

Mags aren't as popular as they used to be, but i think the introduction of the emag and especialy the sexy SFL, not to mention the beautiful woman that comes with the gun.

People will realize that mags are great little guns.

Well my first gun was a used 68 automag about 2 years ago...then four months ago I bought a brand new rt pro with a factory installed intelliframe the first week intelliframe came out...now I own an SFL....In my opinion there is no better looking gun then the SFL, angels don't come close in any form or milling. I'm just hoping those good folks at adrenalin make an extreme, ill drop this shocktech shiznit in a minute. :) The only thing I can say is I'm a little disappointed that AGD dropped its lifetime warranty on its markers, I would've rather them charged more for the marker upfront but I totally see why they did it and don't blame them for it....

[Whisky]

yes there are more cockers out there than mags..so... there are more spyders out there than cockers...so... not every body likes quality. Mags owners do.
nuff said.

[Hysperion]

And btw when I go to paintball dave's in downtown milwaukee I usually see more mags then cockers. In fact the whole reason I got into mags in the first place was because they rent them (charge you extra though) at paintball daves and before I had my own I'd always rent one of their mags instead of the normal piranha. If they had rented cockers, I probably would've fallen into the dark side :)....Not really I actually plan on getting a Black Magic for outdoor and use my SFL for indoor.....I think that AGD's problem is that you can buy a nice shiny autococker for around 300 and the comparable mag looks like a plain piece of *crap*. Maybe once AGD has the extreme body for its other guns.......

[SGTKennedy]

another thing is that how much has a mag changed since 93? not a whole lot... some minor insides different, but the marker LOOKS the same. look at an old cocker. look at a new cocker. it must be better. you can see different parts.

[WiccanWarlord]

heat, you must be mistaken, i only got back on this forum no more than a few weeks ago, and i was off for about 6 months. and it was NOT because i was banned either. just to let you know, its not exacly mischief either, its an observation i made.

[WiccanWarlord]

the problem might just be that a stock mag doesnt really apeal to the people who are into looks above other things,a nd a good percent of thatmarket are like that, dont get my wrong, im not saying ide buy an ughly gun but look at cockers, hwo many diferent variation can you have? hundreds.. the agd techs gt really lucky and hit a design that was so faar ahead of its time that its still ussed today, and it hasnt changed much, i bet if mags came stock in black or chrome bodys, it might catch more peoples eye, and agd would sell more, and they could invent more cool stuff for us to play with

[pumpamatic]

What I never seem to understand is why so many average paintballers care whether or not they have the gun everybody else does. Most of my friends shoot spyders, does that make my mag a bad gun because nobody uses it? I could honestly care less how many people at my local field are shooting a mag. Now when AGD goes totally bankrupt, I may care, but I don't see that happening.
