I personally think its all about how much money you make depends on if your crazy if you buy one. If you make a lot, the go for it. But if your 13, i wouldnt do it.

i wouod suggest getitng a firebladed emag lowers. theyre faster than impulses and its agd so its all good. plus ppl begin to respect you more when you serve everyone with a mag. i'd say just get emag lowers, theyre cheaper and its the same thing really just xmag and emag there are small differences, but same lowers so whatever. i have a lot of money so i have $1k emag thats one of a kind so far as i know and i paid only 500 for it, and im getitng a new gun soon too thats about 1200...i mean its all preferance really. xmag emag the same just get whatever looks cooler but i would go with emag if it was me.

yes yes yes its very worth it. I haven't broken paint for 3 months, and it was at least 4 months before that that I broke a ball. Very very fast, and if you set em up properly with lvl10 and ACE you won't have any problems.

BUT

seeing as they dont make them anymore.........

Hmmm I'd say pick up an Emag & slap a Karta body on it, it should be cheaper while still looking great. Not that X-mags aren't good (they are nice, I had two :) ) but unless you have alot of spare cash around going the emag route just makes more sense. I really did love being able to swap the breeches back and forth from warp to vert though, that's the only thing I really miss with my Karta now.

If you do get an Xmag though the only upgrade would be flashing the software to 3.2. They're usually problem free, you'll have to set the Lvl 10 up but other than that you should be good. Oh, and no you're not crazy ;)

An impulse with WAS or ECS is just as fast or faster than the 3.2 software...speaking of which the stock SP software is still capped at 20 bps so your wrong there. X mag worth it? Meh not really. a lot of milling for not a lot of performance upgrades over the E mag. If u chose to get a mag....go with the E. Chose to get another gun take ur pick there all the same. Shockers are nice as well as the new 05 speeds.

Shockers are nice as well as the new 05 speeds.

yes ive played with both and i have to agree...the 05 speed has more barrelrise tho, but i hold it really lightly. either one of those are sweet but emags are just as good they just dont have eyes

I think it depends on what you are looking for. One of the main reasons I traided up for an X mag is because I wanted the sexy look of it and I know that sounds all material but that is just one of the things I am looking for in a marker(and who can deny it is sexy I mean come on)
