Gun vs. Gun - Keep it unbiased

[MadPSIence]

LNIB System X NME - tuned by Greg from Avalanche. Never used. $700 Shipped

Custom Mag - E-Mag lowers, Karta Body, X-Valve Level 10 Bolt. No barrel, asa, lines, feedneck or anything - approx $925 shipped

Which would you take?

[Maggot6]

Damn, tough choice.. I see why your asking everyone else to decide for you :p... The only opinion I can give you is biased, so well, nevermind that.

[Eatem Alive]

neither, unless you are dead set on one of them. avalanched don't even like the nme's...they can't officially say that though. i'm a mag lover but there are much better guns for that price and cheaper

[MadPSIence]

not really..

[GT]

If you look you can find full ule mag's for around 600 bucks. For 900~1k I would have Tuna whip up a tunamax

[MadPSIence]

yes i don't want those... I just sold a ule mag. the above mag is the only mag I am currently prospecting.

[overkill8000]

ok well to say un biaos makes no sense your on a mag site.....
but i am a cocker fan myself and i would take a mag. reliable,durable,fast, and sexy

[p8ntball365]

NME, no doubt.

[68magOwner]

honestly, i wouldnt want to shoot either of those, take a real timmy over an NME, and, just not a huge mag fan anymore as a primary marker at least. pick up a viking, dm4, or alias (all under your $925 budget for the mag) and be happy

[MadPSIence]

I'll clear it up now, i am horrified by other timmies. they perform but are ugly as sin in my eyes. same goes for the Dye markers. They look like childrens space gun toys.

The NME is rather abstract I know but for some reason I really like it.

[minimag03]

Both of those aren't good deals. You can find much better deals.

I meant ULE Emag. A gun that peforms and one that looks good are two different things. I would take a timmy over the wannabe timmy anyday. And the Karta, only if you are a serious mag head, which you are not.

[stop whining buy a mag]

Way overpriced. Skip them both. If you don't like the DM4 or Timmy look, go take a peek at Shockers. You can find 2005 Shockers (with Nerve Board) for $700 shipped.

[MadPSIence]

then we introduce smart parts reliability and customer service.

[kylyo123456]

for that price deffinately get a devilmag

[MadPSIence]

i wouldn't see a devilmag for months. hence i do not consider it an option. devilsden needs to get their **** together.

[Mr. Mouse]

id try the NME, already have a e-mag

[BlackWeenie]

NME, no doubt.
QFT

[Skoad]

neither honestly.

First off the NME hasn't been proven what-so-ever. I don't even think Avalanche likes them. The only reason why they are using them is because the Vice President of SystemX is ON the team. :)

Emag is sort of outdated. There are a lot *higher performing* markers out there for the same price range.


* - my personal opinion

[rkjunior303]

04 viking.

[Flow_Tech]

if you have 925 to spend,get an alias or newer timmy,they rock *** with a tadao board.

[JoshK]

It's impossible to find unbiased opinions. Which is exactly what people are going to post. Hence why opinions arn't facts.

[RingOfScale]

Freestyle :) i know some peeps with ND Freestyles and they love em ...

05s are only 650 brand new ...

[Chronobreak]

as a general idea when buying guns its a wise idea to stay away when names are dropped

"so and so worked it/tuned it"

generally a push in sale that makes you supicious, but guess thats just me :cool:

[CJ55]

For $900 just buy an Xmag

[Enemy]

this is a really tough one? but i would probably give the nme a shot. its has eyes, was chip, biggest trigger guard on the market. decent trigger and operates just like a timmy. then again i still think the dms are better!

[stop whining buy a mag]

then we introduce smart parts reliability and customer service.

My family owns 5 Shockers and a Nerve. The only issue I have run into is the microswitch to turn the marker on and off. A few of the pieces you just need to be a little gentle with. I have dealt with SP's customer service a few times and they have been great. Have you owned any SP markers?

[TDonovan]

NME. Haven't tried one, but I'm assuming they are just like a timmy, in which case I'd get it over most guns.

[punkncat]

Exactly

If we were going to state facts anout the two...the fact is they both shoot paintballs...weight is factual, true ROF is factual...but what really makes the difference in most high priced markers has nothing to do with facts at all, but opinion, and more often perceived image/hype.

I have to admit, the Emag is "outdated" by many of todays standards. It is heavy even when ULE'ed.It requires an odd and expensive battery. But its rugged reliability is legendary, and is STILL quick enough to compete with anything. (...and Hybrid mode is so fun).

I am pretty sure that the NME is capable of doing a fine job of slinging paintballs. Probably weighs less, and will probably impress all your buds for a few seconds hanging out before a game.

What it really comes down to first and foremost is which marker do you like best? We aren't shooting it for you. But I will be the first to volunteer! :D

[Southparkrocks]

I own a shocker, they do cut alot of cornors, faded annos, weak threads, things like that. But they are reliable and easy to fix.

The anno on all my Shockers and Nerve seems to be perfect. I must be missing something if everyone has so many gripes. Every gun has a downfall or two, but there's not much on the Shocker that can go bad.

I still strongly believe both guns you are looking at are a overpriced. I'm pretty sure I'm up to date on my Mag prices and $975 for that E-mag is almost what you'd pay for it new. A year and a half ago I would have paid maybe that much but not now. I have no clue what the pricing is on the NME so I'll just leave it at that. Get a DM4. You can get them used on Ebay for $750'ish. If you do end up buying that E-mag you'll regret it. You will NEVER get your money back. You'll be lucky to get 60% back within a year.

[Pyroboy597]

instead, buy an ion for 285, get a nice barrel, a new reg, feedneck and trigger, then find someone to install a predator board and you will have a 600$ gun that will shoot up to 28bps with no shootdown (depending on regulator). I would not get the mag, its too much money for what you get (unless you like heavy, clunky electros with no cool modes). If you are deadset on the mag or the NME, get the NME

if you really wanna stand out, check out www.alienpb.com and get one of them.

[Codekevin0403]

by an alien interceptor

they look better than there predecessor, the fugliest gun known to man, the *collective gasp* revelation, plus they are great performers. I played 3 hours with one on a speedball field yesterday, and i have to say that it didn't let me down. And plus, the price is right in your range, and not many people own interceptors.
