i know most people here on this site don't play as much speedball as i probably do ...but i play for my university in the National collegiate paintball association...and i was thinking of picking up an emag to play with ...now i was wondering has anybody run and divided with an emag and if so how well can an emag take from diving?

I don't know that if you divided an emag if it would still shoot... but you could try...lol

Emags take diving well...they are tanks. Helpful hint when diving... don't land on the marker. :tard:

If I'm understanding you correctly , your just concerned with the strength of the marker ?

Then I'd say , honestly , an Emag is arguably one of the most physically durable Markers available besides maybe an M98 or A5.

I dive with my mag all the time. It's really durable, and doesn't look like my shockers do from about the same amount of play. Scratches, but no anno wear. I've heard of people stripping the battery pack screw from really rough ones, but I tend to disbelieve this, mine shows no signs of wear or threats of stripping. Yeah, get in that snake with that beast.....

I played frontman on a team for one season of HRL (Houston Rookie League) with a warped emag. I did a LOT of diving, and I never had a problem. My Emag took a beating, and never quit, never broke. It truly is a tank. The warp, on the other hand, now that's a different story...

Who do you play for?

I never had a problem diving with mine...

I've been playing with my emag for years. It just keeps rocking along. They are definately tough. That is what I like about them.

The absolute toughest marker that I know of has to be VM-68 series. That's a tank. That being said, the Mag family are all very tough marker and I wouldn't have any worries about diving into bunkers with them. Just try not to damage the HPA.

Just keep the battery pack up. The front screw can get broken, or the dovetail sheared. Which isn't to say the E-mag isn't durable as hell, that's just something I've seen in the past when guys weren't thinking about keeping the battpack up.
