Would a mag be worth it for me ?

[X]

If I got a mag, I'd be getting the classic standard feed, and I'd have to run it on CO2. I always play out in the woods, and the ppl I play with use Tipmanns or Spyders/clones. I've played for about a year, and right now I shoot a Spyder c2k. I'm not really wanting one for the high ROF, but for the accuracy. Do you think it would be worth it to get the mag ? Thanks.

Definitely. Standard feed should be ok if you aren't too concerned about a high rof (which you seem not to be). :) If you get an x chamber CO2 should be fine. Mags are more consistant than low end guns.

[mAgSrulE771]

if you can afford to make the co2 not get in yer gun, co2 hates mags, or they hate them, either way. but otherwise, just keep yer spyder.

Std feed vs Powerfeed: Just get the powerfeed. It's simpler that way.

Think about the temp when you play. Is it cold? Using co2 will affect the most during the winter and should be fine during the summer.

[mAgSrulE771]

Ya, hes right, powerfeed is waaaay better, it makes a world of diff. if you cant afford one, then you cant afford the beauty of a mag.

[SIGSays]

reason...... standard feed gives about 4 -5 bps at max.... but i think you can cut the tube for higher feeding rates........ but you think you should sit around and save for another $30-$75 for the p/f

[Moose]

i think he said that rof isnt important to him

[X]

I did say that. And I have reasons not to want a PF, not just the extra cost. I'd rather keep it simple, which is another reason to want a Mag. That means not having all kinds of crap hanging off the gun. Another reason, although valid, is pretty stupid. The ppl I play with will not want me to play b/c my gun is too much more advanced than theirs. They are pretty ignorant of PB outside of low end semi, so I think I can get by with a simple looking Mag, but definitely not with a big battery powered ball feeding machine hanging off of the gun.

Halliday: It's usually semi cold when we play, 40-50 range.

[SIGSays]

well....... get a p/f anyway...... you might have second thoughts and might wanna be able to shoot faster in the future..... if you go to actionvillage.com they have these TKO mags....... standard feed is like 270 and p/f is 300....... get the p/f and buy a pmi 48/3k nitro tank for 70-80 and that'll be around 400 even..... shipping and handling.......

[X]

I could deal with PF, except for the second reason. You know, the stupid one :freak:

[flyingdeadbody1]

dude, first of all, now with the longnose bolts pf and standard feed dont have much diff. in feeding rates...

second of all, it is a better choice to go with pf, but it might not be worth the extra money for you.

but then i think u might like your mag more if u get a powerfeed, because its just more open for the future

and what u said about pf doesnt really make sense...powerfeed is the same thing you have on your spyder compact, it isnt a big batery powered motorized thing or however you describe it hanging off the gun, and it doesnt make it look any more advanced.

well it should be mostly about cost, if you have the money, go for powerfeed, and if not, just get a standard feed.

the TKO mags on pbgear.com are great for teh price it comes with a barrel and powerfeed connections and forgrip and stuff and its like 300 i think...

check it out

:confused: I think I'm confusing PF with something else then. I'm new to Mags. What is PF, and what is the thing with the tube going into the gun from the motorized wheel thing ? Not a revvy, it's seperate from the hopper.

[Silk]

no i think ur confusing it with the warp feed. the power feed is located on the top of your gun. ur spyder has it. its where you put your elbow and hopper onto.

powerfeed is way better. its notthat much more. i think action village has a mag with power feed and everything set up for like 299. then you should get the pmi 48/3000 nitro bottle like sig said. mags dont really like the cold.

Oh, warp feed. Thanks.

So what's standard feed then ?

And I would get nitro, but I don't think there's a place to get it filled around where I live.

[Vaypourus]

Standard feed refers to the feed tube on a mag that goes directly into the body of the gun at an angle. (look at the picture here.... click to enlarge it...http://www.airgun.com/prod14.html)
Powerfeed is when the tube is welded across the top of the body. It is almost exactly what you have on your spider. (look at this picture http://www.airgun.com/prod11.html).

The difference is actually pretty impressive. Powerfeed increases the ROF and decreases ball breaks (not to mention it is easier to clean). That is why I upgraded to the powerfeed body.

[bigmic024]

You really can't use co2 with mags. Especially in the 40-50 degree range. If don't have a place to fill nitrogen i dunno what to tell you. C02 won't be to good for the gun if you care at all about it you wouldn't run co2

[mInImAg69]

If you can run vertical bottle, you could do that, it prevents the co2 from getting into the gun, if you can't, x-chamber and remote is the way to go. Otherwise, get a gun that can deal with co2, but you'll be kickin yourself, because mags require almost NO maintenance.

[X]

I can definitely do vert/xcham/remote/antisiphon, but I run vert on my Spyder and I don't really like it because there's no grip. Is it a lot better ?

[SIGSays]

then you get a hook up a q/d and then use it that way........

[flyingdeadbody1]

get the tko mag with powerfeed trust me its a very good deal unlike anywhere else

[pb69]

Only get the TKO if it has an x-chamber on it, I'm not sure if it does. If you can't run vert bottle, just get an x-chamber. Bu the TKO mag is very nice.
