Pre-warpfeed underfeeding 'Mag? What is this thing?

[The Inflicted]

Saw this posted to a Facebook group and the picture and the publication date has me stumped. Doesn't look like an ATS. Did someone try putting the clockwork cyclone from a Tippmann F/A on an Automag RT?

I think this is a prototype of something I remember hearing about this in the 90s. It's very possible that this is actually a warp feed in the early stages

I actually ended up with the body and rail from that particular mag i think.
I bought all of simon's mag stuff years back.

Let me go back and face the peril.

Simon Stevens developed one of the first (if not the first) force fed loaders and it looked a bit like this. I think it influenced the warp feed design a few years later.

Edit: Look under "What got you into the paintball industry?" here:

It looks very similar and is even mounted on a mag. Could be one of the prototypes.

I checked with Simon, and he said the picture is actually of him, holding the prototype.

The picture was taken for an earlier profile of him as a designer/inventor, and apparently that news syndicate pulled the photo about a year later without his knowledge and reused it for this article.

It's remarkable that a photo of such a rare and unorthodox prototype ended up being used as a "stock" paintball photo.

Holy crap, look at that kid lol. Reminds me of this old dude I see at big events sometimes.

I feel like we have learned a lesson from those days

Automags are awesome
