    ok - no need for seconds then. :)

    Just out of curiosity - would you have preferred sabers or pistols? (Swords let you get personal...lol)

    (Used to keep a cavalry saber in the house for home defense: "Mr. Davidson, you say you had no easy egress from the home during the invasion and that you acted in self-defense, is that correct?"
    "Sure."
    "But Mr Davidson, how do you account for the fact that the thief was hacked more than one hundred times...?"
    "I was REALLY scared...")

      Robert,

      Is the Emag not the solution for those that want electronic frames?

      As the owner of the hAir Mag I love this gun to death, it has been a flawless marker, and has kiled many many a fool and a few unweary refs

      I would suggest that you plan on some electronics upgrade path, this will give the product some room to grow.

        Problem was the battery pack was too bulky and required the battery to be charged.
        a 9v is the way to go

          1. They don't make them anymore.
          2. The ones that remain are expensive and bulky.
          3. A 9v e-pneu frame would be oodles better.

            The guys basically got it.

            Mixing the Pnu and E parts you get a gun that can br run on a small battery (9v) and not have the issues with the 18v Emag battery.

            I never found it bulky, mainly because you alway stick something on teh forgrip area anyways, I think that was just a matter of people over thinking stuff, no playing enough with something ( and by playing I mean on the field not in front of the computer or tv after a few bong rips )

              I think because people don't really care about the patents, they just want the product. They may discuss the patents and argue about them, but only because that's all they have. At this point I doubt anybody cares who brings them to market, whether it's a DIY kit, DW or PTP, they will sell (At least in niche numbers)

              Exactly! At this point I couldn't care less who owns what; I just want a professionally built Pneumatic frame. Or at least the parts all ready for me to assemble without cutting anything.

                No one cares who brings the product to the market except for the guy who gets or loses money from it.

                I'd love a professionally built frame. My DIY Intelliframe was eaten up by a dremel accident.

                  Robert,

                  9V batteries may be small but have limitations when it comes to amperage draw demanded by the solenoid plunger. With today's current battery technology, Li-ion or Li-Polymer would be the best choice, but the getting the size of these battery down would still be the challenge.

                  A pneumatic frame simplifies it.

                    Exactly, an E-pneu frame would let you use 9vs successfully.

                        I answered a similar question like this one earlier. The prototype frames are being milled I'll show you all when it is ready.

                          I would kill for a e-pneu frame.

                            If that were available, who would buy it? I see more Mags than E-Mags out there.

                            When the E-Mag was available, I didn't see all the Mag owners migrate to it. I'm just curious if the pneumatic Mags would be the same.

                              i think people would buy a ep frame if it were lighter, took regular batteries, werent so bulky and were cheaper.
