There is a little blurb in the new Maxim about the Maxim Emag and was wondering what is so special about it that makes it cost $2600.

Look at the carrying case it comes with
Team Managed Aggression, Missouri Paintball
Pround owner of a 2003 Shocker, and AO.org user ... an almost unheard of combo.

lopxtc,
I'm sure that carrying case would cost you a lot more than $2600 !!

Yeah, I have the new Maxim too! too bad I don't have a scanner here..
It says, under "Top Gear," page 156 in the Feb. 2002 Maxim;
'Airgun Designs/Shocktech Maxim E-mag ($2,400)
This top-of-the-line Maxim endorsed paintball gun can fire 16 rounds a second. Know what that means? You can paint your foes red from head to toe before they can even consider saying "ouch-that-reeeaaaally-f__ing-hurts!" The polished-aluminum bazooka has a Dye Titanium Boomstick barrel and a computer in the handle with an LED readout that'll tell you your rate of fire, how many balls you've shot, and the time left in your game. (Badboyztoyz.com)'
It shows a Blue SFL E-mag picture, with Titanium boomer, and a blue AGD 4500 flatline. Publicity galore
So I guess that comes out to about $2,000 for those things.. then it has a white MAXIM sticker on the battery pack.. ouch, I guess that's what costs the extra $400

Yup... a bit over the top. Don't they know that the Paintball Industry is trying (and has ALWAYS tried) to get away from the KILL KILL KILL crap? How about the "GUN" stuff too? Or how about "Bloody"? Or how about "rounds"? It does not seem to be the right image IMHO... all the work good folks put into getting rid of misconceptions and Maxim hits every one of them with their "write up". I guess THEY did not give those IN the write up a courtesy preview to check for accuracy? And it does not say much for their company paintball "expert".
Let's see (for the heck of it) if it would lose anything by using the correct terms...
HMMMM Just what I thought, it works fine, and would not have made them look like total idiots (as well as paintball being a combat sport for killers)... well not TOTAL idiots.
