Just read on there Facebook link that they are also doing mag fed only events.

What is mag fed?

Thought I would ask on here instead of the main page.

magazine feed markers, so without a hopper. it makes the game more tactical and it limits the amount of paint you bring making the games more difficult

I'd disagree that mag fed is more tactical or difficult, although those that play it love to insist they are supreme beings it's simply a different style of paintball.

I think you could argue that it's more tactical - in that you get more benefit in adopting real-world firearm tactics, due to the need to swap mags so frequently. It's definitely not more difficult though (unless you're playing magfed against players using hoppers), as everyone is on a level playing field in a magfed-only game.......aside from those shooting first strike rounds, which IMO unbalances the game to a ridiculous degree.

Totally agree with that.....

Not to mention the fact that they are bad for the environment and are typically used by dingleberries with more money than sense.

True enough. I bought some in the summer and fired them in the garden. The shells are still there now in the, months later despite rain and the elements.....that can't be good and also they seem to have bloody sharp edges too.
