    Mardi Gras Open!

    Smokee_2_7 (Carl) and I drove down to New Orleans this weekend for the Mardi Gras Open. If you can ever make this thing, do it. It was amazing. We met Tom, Rob, Jon and a number of other AGD guys. They were all great, we actually ended up behind the AGD booth with the guys and helped show off the products for a great deal of the time. My own SFL, with it's new HALO and warp ended up on the display and got quite a few shots put through it (about 6200 in the 2 days it was there). I guess the superbolt is going to hold up fine.

    We watched one of Tom's teams play a few games (Dirty Mags?) and I was pretty impressed. One game in partucular on of the Mags and a guy from the other team were in both in the center rocket separated only by one fin. After playing a waiting game for around a minute the Mag noticed a small gap underneath the fin were it did'nt hit the ground. He layed his gun down on it's side on the ground and shot the other player through the gap all over his feet. The other player jumped up out of the rocket like he had been fired out of a cannon, his shoes covered in paint. In the words of a kid standing next to us, "Yea, that really hurts." Score one for the warp feed. we also had a pretty good talk with Tom in between games, about what the future of mags looks like. It's all pretty exciting.

    On with the pics...

    The first are a few of the booth... Carl's Z-grip mag is in the front with it's chrome flame job and the Flame grips I made him. It was the most picked up gun on the table. Maybe Z-grips will be the rage again. A lot of guys had their eyes open to the possiblities.

            Carl testing out an IR3 Angel. The 2 most common comments were, how much they hated the trigger guard and how close to a Z-grip the new frame was. The WDP guys did'nt look amused. The gun actually feels really nice and the trigger was great, just ugly.

                  Sorry for the quality of the pics. Smoke machines and flashes don't mix. But, hey, free beer.

                          Carl taking to "MadDog" Morgan. I guess about how to put a rubber chicken around an Extreem E-mag.
