1. blow forward is the way a mag fires, every other marker probably uses blow forward. Blow back means that its quieter (stock) and has less kick bact.

2. yes, as long as you use AGD parts, these have been designed specifically for mags and so will/should work fine. And any problems AGD would help out anyway.

3. The input pressure from the tank to a mag should be between 800-850psi, though this is brought down by the A.I.R reg built into the mag to about 100psi? (cant remember). So you dont really need an ajustable reg.

4. Good upgrades would be a ReTro valve if your getting an Automag 68, z-grip, intelliframe or hyperframe (or is is hyper grip?). A decent set of barrels to match the paint you're gonna use (freak is the best but the most expensive cos it can fit *any* paint by use of inserts).

5. RT mags can lay down a lot of paint, just as much as an electro at times so should be fine for a back player.

6. Mags are a lot louder than other high end semis but they are relativly quiet.

The only bad thing about mags is that it takes some time to get used to the trigger, other wise you'll chop balls. Might be an idea to play a few times with your new mag before you use it in a tourny when you'll have to rely on it.

The only thing I can say is that Mags need about 800psi input pressure and regulate it down to about 400psi. It's mid-pressure marker.

I like their small size, simplicity, reliability, and lack of serious maintence needed.

With my Hypeframe bringing the trigger to a mouseclick, they are as accurate as any other marker out there.
