Reasons I’ve heard.
- Mags are too slow
- Mags are ugly
- Mags are tubes
- Mags are too old
- Mags chop
- Mags are heavy
At one point, all of these reasons were legit reasons, though the tube one isn’t much of a reason to hate. I dare someone to say Mags are slow in the mech world. Last I checked they don’t get much faster then that. New bodies like the ULE and Karta make Mags some of the sexiest markers out there. Yes their design is old, but guess what, it’s a great design!!! Level 10’s and X valves basically ended all problems with chops and weight. That leaves one thing, Mags are tubes.
Last I checked in the paintball world, a smaller profile is better. So why would you want something the size of a shoebox when you could have something the size of a toilet paper roll? Makes sense right? Also look at the new impulses, is it just me, or do they have a striking similarity to ULE Mags? Wow, funny how they caught on, and yet people still hate on mags.
The Mag name will always be hated by the ignorant ballers of this world. All we can do is smile, and put your tongue in the breach and ask, "can you do that?"
