Well, for starters, Automags are blow forwards. Gas pushes the bolt forward and a spring returns the bolt to a resting position. Unlike blowbacks where the spring provides the power for the bolts movement and excess gas pushes the bolt back into place. That is the basic difference between mags and other markers.
They have a very interesting feel to them. It’s hard to describe really. Some people love the feel of a mag; others despise it and hate it. It’s all personal preference really. I’ve shot a good many cockers in my time and I hate the feel of them. Mags are just so much more comfortable, IMO.
Level 10 doesn’t hurt either
