What Paintball Gear

What are you talkin about Walker??
As the editor of both mags I know their contents better than most. Nearly every single gun reviewed in What Paintball Gear has never even appeared in PGI!!! And of the few that had, most hadn't been reviewed in PGI. The ones that had, had been reviewed in a different way anyway. These reviews didn't have the same level of prolixity, were more concise than PGI's, and also featured ratings. How much more different do you want it?
Either you haven't actually read it properly, or you subscribe to a different version of PGI with extra reviews in it that I didn't know about.
And interestingly, you seem to have forgotten about all the reviews of loaders, air systems, paint, mask systems, regs, websites, all the lowdown on all those custom markers, the bolt-on reviews, profiles of players, tom kaye interview... And the ratings, they were never in PGI, and all those little arrows that point to different parts of guns to say what they do...
...if you didn't find it informative enough, Walker, then you obviously know more about paintball than the rest of us.

Sorry to bud in like this, but what is prolixity? I don't mean to be sarcastic, cos I really don't know.....me dum furriner after all..
P.S. Mr. Big, if you have any control over the people that actually ship the mags, please clobber one on the head for me, cos I still haven't received either WPG or jan's PGI......sob....
Help help! I'm being chased by a rabid prolixity!

Got my copy of WPG today I have to say that I was impressed.
I am still waiting for my Jan copy of PGI though. Phoned up the distrubtors yesterday and they didnt have a clue about what was going on. There seems to be a massive back log of orders and they are still processing peoples subscriptions. I was told that if you do buy this months issue and then get one sent through the post, all you have to do is phone them up and let them know and they will add an extra issue to your subscription.

ive dug myself a right woppin hole now havent i!
Right, before im shot at dawn by TJ, or torn limb from limb by Robbo, It was well structured i'll give you that, and you have obviously done your research...........but............ im a bit of a techno head, i like to be able to compare stuff, and yes i know all the cockers and angels etc have got a tech spec as such, but it doesnt go into any great detail about the performance of these guns(which is what i like to see) over the original. It has a review of the elements angel or whatever it is called, who is gonna actually be lucky enough to own this gun? i know we can all dream.
perhaps im just being picky, sorry chaps but i havent picked it up and read it loads of times like i do PGI or playboy.
im not dissing it in a major way, chill out buddies, im only saying what i think

NOW you're saying what you think, which is cool. Hey, constructive criticism - bring it by the bucketload. But b4 what you said was 'it's crap'. Now don't kick a dog and expect it not to bite you man.
We are chilled out when people say 'I didn't like X cos of yaddayaddayadda', but when people say something's **** without qualifying it it gets people's backs up. Remember, this is what Antman and Robo do for a living, and you're basically saying 'What you do from 9 - 5, or in their cases 9 - 9 most of the time, is crap'.
Would you just take that lying down?
If you say 'yes' you're either a liar or a pussy...
