Automags VS New aged marker's

[st6212]

I really hate to get in on these kinda threads... everyone gets drowned out but....


Look boys... YES there are differences. YES, mags are great, but so are many other markers out there. It is all preference and need.

I have owned more guns than I care to admit to. I love my mags the best. They dont feel like toys - and growing up shooting real guns that is something that is important to me. ALso the fact that AGD has always treated their customers like family as well. But truthfully, if Lornecash didnt give us this new software, I probably would be shooting either my Predatored Angel or an 06 Cyborg right now.

Any AGD gun, and most others as well, will find a place on the paintball fields - depending on how you play.

I have no issues at all keeping up with any of the modern guns with either my Xmag, etac, or the eframed RT I made. However, they are FAR from stock. All of them have alot of TLC and performance mods in them, things that come standard on new guns.

So come on guys, cut the crap. Get your asses outside and play instead of waisting time in front of the keyboard.

I want to play today and try out my other DMag but meh my knee is really actin up and I don't feel like see'in the orthopedic surgeon to get more blood drained from it.

pneumags slaughter the competition. Because they can be light, fun to create, easy to maintain and require no freaking batteries. I prefer my hypermag, but mags all around are jsut better, because if you want to switch bodies, frames, rails, looks, its really not that hard. Take off your old body, switch feednecks and slap the new one on. Easy to customize and change up. I'm getting a spare rtp sear just for playing around in semi single trigger with my ult sometimes. It will be hella fun

I don't see how mags "slaughter" the competition for these reasons, I thought this post was about performance on the field not the ability to tinker. Maybe the no batteries part.

I love my Emag and My Classic and I'm thinking about getting another one to tinker with, but if Automags were the newest, lightest, fastest, most accurate (or any combination) marker out there these "my mag is still relevant" posts wouldn't keep popping up.

But if your also saying that player A with a top of the line electro up against player B with an electro mag along the lines of a devilmag or similar, ie predator board, eyes etc. is still not on par, then I'd have to disagree. There really is no difference between the two.

Not speaking for the ultimate mag frame or whatever that one is going to be called I have to disagree. I have owned a devilmag and many other high end markers. There is a slight difference, the mag had barrel rise for instance, along with tuning issues (but let those be as user error). Was the difference enough to really matter? No, because no two players are that equal in skill level and that consistant. That being said, yes there is a difference. See above, there are other areas other than marker that are far more important.

The answer is easy.

Play some tournaments in the higher level leagues. Then decide based on the outcomes. Playing beginner leagues is hardly a way to measure your own skill and need for a new gun.

Ready for this. All else being equal (and even not on some practice days) the marker for choice for me is my mechanical steel bodied mag. I love that marker.

However, when you factor in my vanity, and the occassional desire to have a ramping marker, my Minion ends up in my hands more often when the "game is on the line". Just as my Proto did last year, my Shockers before that, and my Ion for a very short time that I depended on it as my marker on field.

Through all the markers, the marker I would shoot if I was not concerned with what other people thought and did not feel that I had to be at the top level I could be at for my team on "game day" would be my mag... when it comes down to it though its not the marker in my hand most of the time.

after all of that changing of markers, you still have your mag, and in the end of the day i do believe its all about having fun, for most of us at least, and if you have something as reliable the mag, its easier to have fun because, you wont have problems, the mag will shoot how you want it, and it gets so many comments at the field

Actually my mag progression went - Level 7 classic, level 7 miniomag, ground up built "RT pro", E-mag, Devilmag, and back to a RT valved stainless bodied no-rise. I love that marker... I think its so close to what I started with that it just feels right. Though its not the mag I started with, its still my mag, the exact mag I wanted.
