Hey, i'm thinking atm what gun i want to buy next (atm i'm using a pretty stock tippmann) and have came up with two choices. Either:
- An Eclipse or Freak Factory Impulse, or
- A modular retro mag with z grip and warp

I decided on the latter as the former would cost more both physically and later though paint :]

Looking at all the different bits I'd need (retro valve, mod body, etc) i was wondering whether it would be possible to attach a regular emag battery as a foregrip and either take the battery out, or, preferably use it to power the warp feed.

Would this be possible?
any pictures of similar undertakings?

Haha! Take the battery out! What a dumb idea! Who coulda possibly thought of that!??!

Seriously though, I reckon that a nice, normal round foregrip (like the nice matt pro-team ones) would be much better than an empty battery housing. Probably cheaper too.

As for using it as a battery; uh you could. If you could be arsed to make an 18v -> 9(ish)v converter. I dont think it's worth the hassle personally. I'd just buy a proper rechargable warp-battery from AGDUK. It'll be smaller, cost less and it'll be less hassle.

BTW, if you buy just the modular body, it doesn't come with the battery pack. And Jackie from AGD-Europe said it's pretty versatile, you can attach every frontfrip to it that can be attached to a regular Automag.

I was wondering how you figure your rate of fire (ROF)? In my book the latter is going to be capable of a higher ROF. Even if the marker ROF was the same it would still use a higher volume of paint due to the fact that it will never stop working!

I saw a Z-grip Mag today at Top Gun. He had a Black Emag battery holder on it as a foregrip. It was awesome looking.
