Xmag, Lack of Gas through

[tbr13]

Hello everyone...I have been a Mag owner for over 6 years and Paintballing for 8+. Wish I had more time to post.


Anyway, has any noticed ever since the RT Pro came out the hard line for the N2 has been removed and now you have to use a macro/braided line that arcs around/behind/in front of your hand to gas up your gun? *EDIT* Please do not circumvent the cuss filters...it makes the Mods mad at you. Army It totally messes up the compact/efficient nature of the gun, and you have a 8inch arc of HOSE screwing with the aesthetics?

I wasn't going to mention this because the RT Pro was meant to be slightly more economical than the RT.

But with the introduction of the EMAG and Now the (I can't bloody wait to buy it when it's finally Available) XMAG; we will be paying well over a 1000 dollars for a PAINTBALL GUN that has a (IMHO) REALLY CRAPPY air intake system.

What the heck is with that?....
Tom I love your company and your products ever since I was introduced to Paintball.

But I don't understand this complete lack of finesse on an overall amazing gun.(XMAG)

Why is there not a hardline version/conversion or at least a gas through battery pack like the RT.

I would love a technical explanation or a at least an economical one if possible.

If there has been many posts/rants about this subject, I am sorry, I just recently started posting again.

Let me know..

Maybe it's just me.

I would like to see a gas through also. I'm afraid that it would make removing the battery pack much more difficult and complicated. However, "I" do see your point (and it's not on the top of your head , sorry, couldn't resist ).

[petefol]

you could probably route it somewhere like thru the rail.

I also think it is a good idea, but you would probably have to go through the grip frame.

Wrap it in tape?!?! That is like wrapping a Ferrari's steering wheel with duct tape.

Get shrink tubing.

Yea, thats sort of what I ment.
Shrink tubing or electrical tape would look the best IMO..
No, I diddnt mean masking tape/duct tape/scotch tape.. those are ugly.

well it can be done as I have a gas through battery pack.

Nicely done VF-xx. What do you use to route the gas from battery pach to valve? Do you have a hardline? How about a QD and slide check?

A modification of the Venom hardline would be good.

[Creative Mayhem]

Looks good VF. Definately a must do when I get mine.
