I was just wonderin what the best type of mag fed paintball marker would be besides Tiberius markers. Or if a pistol would be overall better than that too. I might be looking to join a scenario team that plays mags and pistols. So just nothing too expensive guys (like over 300).

[The_Economist]

I have used the Rap4 magazines in a Gen 5 T68 (which was extremely similar to a Milsig) that I used to own, and I have used the Tiberius mags in my T8.1. The Tiberius has been far more reliable than the Rap4 was. The Tiberius feeds every time you pull the trigger. The Rap4 gun did not.

I know you said "besides Tiberius" in your post, but I don't think you can talk about mag fed guns without mentioning Tiberius guns.

[XxLOPERSxX]

Ok thanks. And the only reason I'm straying away from TIberius markers is the real appeal of them is the FS rounds, and my field is field paint only. Besides, FS rounds seem a bit too expensive for me.

[SWAT3050]

That is not really true. All of the Tiberius guns shoot regular paint just as well trust me ( I have 5) I use reg paint in mine all the time and they shoot straight as an arrow. I have a t68 gen7 and a phenom with the tacamo conversion kit and I would use my tiberius over both of them every time. Mags work 100 times better and they just feel great in the hand and are amazingly accurate.

Rap4 does a pretty good job with their conversion kits they recently released the 2012 version which had a mechanism in it that when the clip was empty the marker would fire just like a real gun it was pretty nice.

I forgot to mention Milsig but they are kind of expensive.

x7 phenom w/ tacamo conversion

[konner09]

Personally I am going to Say Tiberius does, but I owuld not rock a Mag Fed rifle pistols i would but not rifle

Milsigs : Over Priced, expensive Magazines, Stock Power tube is cruddy but replacable with Tippmann stuff

Rap4: poor Quality Control from what i have seeen

Tacoma mag conversion: No opinoin

best mag fed? I would say the ATS

[Jaccen]

The new Spyders could be a good bang for buck.

[BRUTE]

They make a mag feed mod for the tippmann A5. Its on ANSgear.

[Symptomz]

I would take a look at the m17 from milsig.

[Red Infinity]

The new spyder looks promising but the milsig/tiberus would be a safe bet.

[Special Ed]

I would not recommend the Rap4 junk. Mags are too inconsistent, too weak and won't feed or too strong and double feed. Their new DMags look promising but who know's when they'll be released.

I'd say go with the Tiberius platforms for better reliability.

[robot0ninja]

dont listen to these people. if you buy a gen5 or later rap4, you will not have problems. just make sure you buy milsig mags, they are much better than the rap4 mags. as for price, a good milsig or rap4 set up will cost a lot. youll want 10 mags at least for a good set up, and 6 is around $130. milsig has the best mag fed markers, and their new stuff thats going to be released this year will be amazing.

tiberius is a good company but the mags are super easy to accidentally set off and you lose all the paint inside of them. trust me, it is not fun to see a mag get emptied on the ground. its not the fact youre losing paint (as in money) but youre losing a filled mag which is time on the field. you dont wanna be filling mags on the field that often. they are also a pain to service and you dont get all the allen wrenches you need to fully service the gun. they are the best shooting mag fed guns, i just wish they redesigned the mags so its not so easy to lose the paint in them.

the tippmann pistols are great. not as rugged or precise (for the person that didnt take high school physics, accurate) as the tiberius pistol but the new 7 round mags are much cheaper and in my opinion, easier to handle.

your best bet would buy a project salvo, an a5, or phenom and get a mag fed kit for it. if you get a project salvo, it already comes with shroud and a stock (has 98 internals). the phenom would cost you $430 minimum and wouldnt come with a stock or shroud (unless you paid more) but would be the best shooting mag fed gun on the market. i would just buy a project salvo and go to rockstartactical.com and get the tacamo mag fed conversion kit for it

[Cap'n Biff]

I'd hold off on the Tacamo mag-fed kits for a little while, at least until the current stock out there has a chance to dissipate. I'm on number 2 for my Phenom, and it's still touchy. The receivers they made overseas are of inconsistent and generally poor quality. The new metalwork should be better, but it might be a while before they're on shelves. Also, even with the new metalwork, there are tolerance issues. For example, the switch on the e-trigger doesn't switch into auto mode reliably. I've had to grind down part of the receiver, and it's still not 100%.

Now, RAP4's been good for customer service, I've got to give them credit, and being a techie-tinkerer, I don't mind the "hand-crafting" too much. But for the average user, you might just want to hold off on the mag kit for a bit.

I know a few guys with Gen 5 and Gen6 RAP4 T64-based markers. It's like with the Tacamo kits; some are just tickety-boo out of the box, some are headache factories working 3 shifts.

I know quite a few guys with Milsigs, and most of them have had to gut the markers and put in A5 internals. Again, I think the Asian manufacturing problems RAP4 had are there too. Nice stuff for sure, and I'm always happy to see a Canadian company making stuff I can buy without having to deal with Customs, but still issues.

Tiberius seems to have the best mag solution, though not without it's own challenges. Heavy, expensive, requires more maintenance because of the o-rings, mostly only 8-round (except for the T4 mags, but still).

The new TiPX mags are nice, certainly better than the original ones, but had to sacrifice capacity for reliability (no more jams, but only 7 shots).

[redthirst]

Tippman Gun + Tacamo Conversion Kit + Box Mag

That would be, I think, your best bet for a non-FSR full size mil-sim set up... it is going to run you a little-to-a lot over $300, though (depending on gun), unless you can get it used.

If you simply want to run pistol, though, the TiPX is pretty great and significantly cheaper (until you factor in soft goods for carting around mags).

All I use is mag fed. I have a milsig, a5 mag fed, phenom mag fed, t8.1 and ram pistols they all have their ups and downs. The Tacamo kits r an nice cheap way to change over ur existing gun or to have cosmetic options for cheap . Milsigs r a good way to go if u don't have a gun to change with a Tacamo kit the basic Milsigs starts at Under $300.
The Tiberious will take some getting used to only because u only get 8 shots befor u have to reload but they r stupid accurate and lots u can do with it...
all r great ways to go manag fed is so much fun especially when u have hopper fed guns shooting at u and u have to change mags lol

Hope that helps

[Petrified]

Box mags have serious feed issues

And the new milsig m17 is also coming out with true mechanical full auto

The rap 4 t68 I have heard have a lot of problems from what I've been told everyone I know that has owned one has sold it

I disagree everyone I know with a milsig buys rap4 mags they r more expensive but seem to work better

[robot0ninja]

The gen 4 box mag actually works pretty well if you paid any attention to the reviews on it. The only problems are that it is loud and the last ten balls dont feed. Rap4 isnt as bad as everyone says it is dude, especially gen7. They really got the ball rolling with gen 7. And milsig mags are much better. If youve ever used both, you would know. If you read reviews, you would know also.
