And then there are companies that produce
mag-fed products almost exclusively. Milsig’s
long anticipated M17 line of markers is finally
available and they are everything most hoped
they would be. The M17 line are mechanical,
fully automatic, mag-fed, First Strike compatible makers that are truly impressive. Similarly, Honorcore’s TGR Series of mag-fed
markers are loaded with options right out of
the box. And in the past two years even companies like Dye, KEE (Empire, JT), Planet
Eclipse and Valken have jumped into the magfed pool, all producing excellent products.
In 2010 we began seeing CQB (close quarters
combat) fields like CQB Tactical Paintball
Field in Canada, where mag-fed markers and
games are commonplace. Unfortunately they
recently shut down after terrible ice storms
devastated the field. In 2013 Oklahoma
D-Day added a mag-fed only game for the
first time. And in the UK the first commercial
mag-fed only game ever played was sponsored by Rap4 UK and the Warfighters paintball team in 2013. The game was called Operation End War.
Fields like SC Village, Hollywood Sports,
Paintball Park at Camp Pendleton, Jungle
Island Paintball Park and dozens of others are
running mag-fed only games now. Mag-fed
paintball is definitely on the rise. It’s getting
bigger and bigger and probably has not come
close to peaking yet.
