This time, it's Mag:

vs. 'cocker:


EDIT:

Or would it be better to trade for this Freeflow Dark 'Cocker BODY? It would be fun to build a 'cocker from the ground up and the Dark 'Cocker bodies were only 1/100.

 

Remember, it's just the body kit.

what ups on the mag?

besides the sure shot

 

what's the deal with mags anyways, why are they good?

cause i can look at the cocker and tell it's a sexy gun, the mag looks like something you'd buy at wallmart. (no offense to owners of mags)

That's just an all-stock mag. With some love, you can get something like this with ease.

Edit: The main appeal of Mags are their simplicity. They are probably more fool proof and tougher than a Tippmann! Not to mention the upgrade potential is through the roof. Kinda like the 'cockers I guess, so it's personal preference. Also, while 'cocker resale values are dropping, Mag's are actually ascending...

Mags are awesome guns. Super upgradeable and reliable as all get up.

I'd trade for the Dark Cocker body and build a cocker from the ground up.

YOU SINNER!!!

HOW DARE YOU!!!

ok well anyway aside from that guy being a huge ok well i can't say what i was gonna say but ok

that mag to preform like you would want it would be somewhat exspensive and i'd rather build a mag from the ground up cause you get to selct every single part. If you want a mag prject build a pneumag i think may do that sometime in the near future.

But basically you should do what you have the funds to do. Don't start on a prject but have to stop because your broke.

>><<: So which guy are you carrying negative thoughts for?

Mean Man: They are a trade, but with the Mag, I figured I would have a nice base to start off of, and with the body of the 'cocker, I anticipated on building a nice 'cocker from the ground up.

Okay. Mags are one of the best mechs around (under PPS), but I love free-flow bodies, exspecially that one. But its all preference, what do you want to build.

Well, that depends. The 'cocker guy said he'd trade the body, he never said the kit. When I get the chance, I'm gonna hit him up on AIM and see what all will be with it. To me, a complete body kit would be body, feedneck, ASA, front block and back block. Everything else I can manage later.

I would not trade for the mag, it looks very stock. Maybe trade your cocker for that body, only because its so rare. I would keep the cocker if I were you though...

The Mag is pretty much stock. Even then, stock Mags are worth like $150. My 'cocker is worth about $120, due to dwindeling resale. Mags are actually going up in value.

The 'cocker guy hasn't gotten back to me...

Trade you my Mag for your Painmaker. (Joke if you dont get it)

I know everyone has claimed that Mags are one of the simplest, most durable markers ever. Even more durable than Tippmanns, but mine has been very problematic. I would trade my Mag if some very interesting deals came up, but im happy with it.

Actually, I might have to trade my Painmaker. It's too fast. I can't feed it with the Revvy, and I don't particularly want to spend a bunch of cash on a hopper. Also, on CO2, the reg gets a bit, er, cold...

It runs fine on CO2, and I really don't want to spend money on HPA too much either. I guess it's time to look into a pump.

Oh yeah, Mags are an early semi-auto concept that is still being used, changed very little. They use blow forward technology instead of blowback. Their simplicity is supposed to make them extremely reliable.

Unless the Mag has a classic valve you will need HPA. And with cockers, HPA is a wise chioce.
