if i had the cash, i'ld buy one in a heartbeat. but i'ld have to have enough cash to do it right, like 6 backup mags, and a backup pistol and a wicked awesome vest feeding a remote into the gun. but i checked out the costs for that (for the gun i want) and it is like $1300...

but yeah, i love the idea of mag fed and i would use it all the time, to limit myself and keep from the constant ownage i always rain down upon my kid brother's 13 y.o. friends (they are pansies... they sit and cower...)

really it is more affordable. if you look at the canadian manufacturer milsig, that beats the hell out of rap4. they are affordable, 68 cal and work great. if it werent for the fact that everyone does the american "accuracy by volume" i would completely do this! i am looking at getting a TPX soon, though tippy decided to add $80 can to the origional pricing...
if sp made a mag feed or pistol, i would definately get one!

yeah, milsig is cheaper, but i want an Advanced Tactical Systems AT417. i saw a few videos, read a few things here and there, and i'm in love with ATS. i dont wanna sound like an ad, but i just like them more. higher magazine capacity (~25rds), full auto standard (and it is mechanical! 12bps!)... a few other things i'm forgetting. i havent checked em out in a while because they are -really- expensive. $925 for the one i want, and it is their most expensive model.

my modular ions can take a millsig mag on the side or a hopper or a ten shot tube..

But in the end i just used the hopper.. no point in having a mag when every one else is using hoppers.. the millsig mag fitted sten gun style.

in fact just like my fav gun on C.O.D. world at war the fg42,, sweet

If Mag fed guns were affordable and accurate like the Tiberius first strike rounds (accuracy, not affordability) then they would be worth it. No offense to Tiberius because they make a stellar product, I have the original T8 pistols and they have never failed me. However the price of their guns, I could buy real guns, their T4 rifle costs more retail than I paid for my AR-15 for work. So get the affordability of the markers to something real, ie SP-1, ION, even the Tippmann markers price ranges and you'll find someone like me who might but them. Quantity of sales to make up for the loss of high profit off of one gun.
