Hey everyone!
Well got back from the Panzers in the Snow big game which for the most part was a blast! went from 10-3:30 and had a bunch of fun. I think I was the only mag user there:) ...well, besides my buddy, to whom I lent one of my mags:p
Ok, about the mags...I brought two mags w/ me...my black n' blue w/ intelliframe, Emag valve, no-rise, halo, etc...and my other mag- Z-grip, warp, revvy, etc.
To start the day off, both markers had issues. I'm not sure why. Even on the chrono my black/blue one chopped a bit (it does have L10 w/ med-long spring)...which was really surprising because everything was tested a day or two before to perfection, and nothing was wrong. I have no idea what was physically keeping the balls from dropping in the hopper (its not nubbin issues) however after the marker got warmed up it functioned flawless the rest of the whole day. :confused:
The other mag had a ton of problems. It kept chopping. Yes, it only has L7, but I don't that think that required the marker to chop all the time. I had done everything yesterday I thought I could w/ the marker before I took it out today...ironed out all the nubbin issues (a BIG issue when using a warp) and all the fine little adjustments...and tested it with the most horrible paint I had, and it functioned flawlessly. However I think it like that paint better than the field paint:p
It chopped and chopped and chopped and I was getting so frustrated...not because there was something obviously the matter, it was because I couldn't figure out a thing! I would watch the balls feed through it...and either balls would just explode, or *somehow* get jammed and chop. I played w/ the powerfeed plug adjustments, and had it set up exactly how Rob shows in the tech forum...perfect. And yet it would chop when shooting more that 3 balls per second. Then something I tried was a continous feeding from the warp, and even with the thing spinning constantly, it was slacking off and would allow a break between the balls every few seconds. I just dont get it...spinning fast, fresh battery, not over shooting the revvy on it...I am just lost here.
I don't know if its the warp or what. I don't think it was my adjustments of it...because I worked on my other mag and it was totally rocking. Its just like *anything* I would do with this marker made it chop. I was thinking as I was going through this 'I now know why people say mags chop' because I was spending more time working on the thing than any sane person would:p
I found myself asking 'is it worth it?' which is scary because I have been a hardcore mag shooter for almost 3 years. I don't think its that mags chop...its they just chop soooo easily...even w/ level 10. And now...I'm wondering what I should do. Sell the warp? Every time I've played w/ it, it has chopped...usually only once, but still, every time, with different paint, different barrels, different adjustments, and with fresh batteries.
Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I like figuring all this stuff out, so I don't think I'm gonna give up on her quite yet. Its just so frustrating...especially when there are just groups of enemies running around in front of you, then pow! all you see is the tell tale puff of paint out of your barrel. I even held down the continuous feed button on the side of the warp when shooting and (with a classic valve) shot no faster than 6 balls per second...did pretty much nothing...chop chop chop.
Thanks for ya'lls input!:D
