Best Route to Own an AutoMag

[nate2k191]

i had a spyder in '99 then found out how sweet mags were, built a few mags over a few years and just got a cci phantom. mags and phantoms are some of the best guns out there IMO, and i can do everything from pump with the phantom to spray with my x-mod'd e-mag, whatever type of paintball you want to play, there is a mag that's just right.

rogue and tuna are great sellers, there are lots of other options too; i think you have enough info to make a good decision that you will never regret. have fun.

Thanks for the replies everyone!

And no, I do not want an RT or any gun that shoots ridiculous (ramping). I'm always making fun of the guys on my team (including my brother) who buy these DM5's and are always yaking about the different settings. I just want a simple 'Mag that will never use electricity in any way, and that won't be breaking down every other game like their electro's do - but can still take them out.

Not even sure if that made any sense. Just woke up.

i know what you mean...but they only break down because of user error and people trying to "fix" things that arent broken!!! if they set it once, never messed with it, and cleaned/lubed it like they should, they wouldnt have problems, hardly ever. ironically(sp) my classic valved mag has messed up on me the most out of all the guns i own/have owned.

[sarcasm]If you had just set your Classic Valved mag once, never messed with it, and cleaned/lubed it like you should, you wouldnt have problems, hardly ever.

If you never touched it, then it sounds like you never cleaned/lubed it like you should. tsk tsk

Playing with a ramping marker is like playing T-Ball. Its for 6 year olds.

Sorry man, can't agree with that one. Its all about what for and where you are using it.

Would I go and use ramping on a rec ball field with noobs? No

Would I use it in a scenario? Yes, for certain situations.

Its a neccesity for certain tounrneys and/or advanced play.

Where it appropriate...

We disagree.

Ramping is only a necessity for those without shooting skill that need a computer chip to do what they are incapable of doing themselves. This is still a shooting sport, so the skill of shooting is(and should be) a core requirement.

The only appropriate place for ramping in a skill-based sport is in the hands of those without skill who are just starting out. Much like T-Ball. Its for 6 year olds.

Like every other skill based sport, as you become more advanced, you should be using more of your individual skill and less reliant on the equipment as a crutch. As T-ballers improve, they move up in the leagues and are required to play without a Tee.

The shame is that leagues/manufacturers have convinced players, from the top down, that everyone including the Pros NEED ramping for tourneys and/or advanced play. At the Pro level, this should be completely the opposite.

It should be quite the opposite. I agree with you on that point. BUT it isn't and therefore within the game as its currently played at that level, you have it or you have your *** handed to you.

Nah, just play NPPL. They dont allow ramp.
