What kind of parts did you use to build her? I'm not too versed in mags, I was always on the cocker side of the debate. :P


Deadlywind barrel and foregrip, Tac-One rail, ULE body, don't know the feedneck, Logic grip it looks like, and the normal X-Valve. Along with what appears to be a CP ASA and Macroline.

This, except its an RPG Pariah body (basically a shorter version of the ULE with dual detents). The feedneck is an RPG Sub-Zero.
It also has the Level 10 bolt and ULT installed.

Well, if you want to use it but don't want it to get scratched up, I heard about something on wranglerforum.com called plastidip. http://www.plastidip...ions/Plasti_Dip I personally haven't used it, yet. But it comes in several colors, including clear, and it peels of fairly easy when your tired of it. Home Depot or Lowes is supposed to carry it. I'm considering blacking out my jeeps rims with it.

Plast-dip is the greatest invention ever!!! I have used it several times its like spray paint but if you dont like it you just peel it off its badass... I ahve used it on everything especially my car, i have done my rims before and it last forever and jsut works,
It wont hurt your paintball gun!! ill probally even gonna try to do it to my axe..

I think they're fairly close in cost to a ule body. But if I get a non-ule body, then I want something fancier looking.

I used to feel the same way about my NME. if you dont use it, then its just a paperweight. it doesn't matter how nice it looks or how expensive it is. its useless if you don't use it, and you mind as well not have it. take it out and show it off at the field. yea you might scratch it but that's part of the sport. its like trying to avoid grass stains when playing football.

I totally get the NME love, but yeah you just gotta let it do what its meant to do eventually...

That is a very nice gun! If you are really protective of the gun, it would be really cool to keep it in a nice case, and hand it down to your children after you retire from the sport. It would be a cool way to show them how some of the nice paintball guns are now compared to what they will be in a few years. Hope this helped!

As most of you all know by now, I'm in posession of a very beautiful Automag, but for those of you who've been living under a rock, here she is.

Pretty damn sexy, huh?
That is my problem. I've put so much time and effort into making her look absolutely gorgeous that I now treat her like the Mona Lisa. I keep her sealed away a majority of the time, only taking her out to fondle her and maybe shoot a couple rounds through her, but never actually play with her. The last time she's seen the field was over a year ago now and I can't bring myself to do it again for fear of scratching or damaging her.

To compare, I feel like Cameron's dad and his Ferrari in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

As much as I love this gun, I just really have no reason to continue owning her. She's treated more as an expensive sculpture than a paintball gun and I feel it's not fair that I own her and never use her. I'm in need of a work-horse and not a show-piece, so I'm considering parting with my dear Automag and possibly trading for something a bit more practical.

I guess what I'm asking of you all is to convince me to part with my beloved paperweight for something more useful.

And please, I'm being serious as this is hard to do. As much as I'd love to hand her off to someone who will put her to better use, I can't simply give her to you, so please don't ask that of me, even if you are just joking.
Also, this is not meant to be a BST ad. If and when I'm ready, I'll make one and you can post your offers there.




play with her, im sure shes begging to get down and dirty again. let her indulge a bit.

Use it for rec ball or the woods. I wouldn't use it on the speedball field, not a gun that nice. And if you do use it for recball, change the barrel to you dont scratch that one on wooden/hyper tubing bunkers.
