The emag advantage - and how it helped at Blanding

[flyboy]

Those of you that have emags have had it happen. You get ready to go out, set the fire select on "E" and "click".. nothing. Dead Battery. Not a problem, switch to mech and go play.

Well that happened to me at Blanding for the early morning battle at the chrono station. I chronod on mech and left the battery charging in the car while I went out, sans battery and played. On mech I was still able to get a pretty good rof. I got some quizical looks from people because of the look of the gun without the battery.

I know that if I had a pure electro I'd carry lots of exta 9 volts for this situation, but it was cool to not even worry about having to changing it in a hurry.

I have had emags since they came out, and never once had a battery die on me. Did you just forget to charge it or is it bad?

He is probally like me and forgot to put the yellow pin back in it. I cant tell you how bad at remembering that I am.

HEHEHE :-) That would suck.

[RRfireblade]

Cool for you. :)

Unfortunately that switch is one of the reasons I don't ( or haven't been able to ) use an Emag at some Tournys. All my E/Mags have the trigger rod out now so I just stay on top of my battery maintainance. ;)

Yeah that yellow pin ... I keep seeing people with those attached to elastic "phone" cords ...

Big E it must be real easy to make a statement like The batteries in guns dont go dead.
They might get bored to death sitting waiting for some action but i think it would be ruled a suicide.
Bhahaaaaha
We missed at the Blanding game.
I am tring to put together a van trip for the viper one for memorial day weekend.

I've done it as well. It's nice knowing your marker is it's own backup.

I used it all day on Saturday with no problems but I had not given it a full charge so it was my bad. I should have charged it again at the hotel to make sure, It spent most of the day Saturday with the pin out. I know it was my goof.

Im a creature of habit...

Playing at the Michigan Monster Game last year, using a Friends barrowed E-mag. Played all day Sat, and abut 1/2 day Sun, and it starts flaking out on me, I discern battery is dead.


Being used to the standard - crap battery is dead, I am now fodder for my team, I did the usual and sucked up about 70 hits charging across a log bridge so the rest of my team could get across ( OK, maybe I stood there at the end absorbing a few more hits before I properly walked off the field... )


as I'm walking off paint covered and hurting from the cranked up guns... I look down and notice the switch.... that tiny switch that had my brain been even moderately engaged I would have hit and continued playing....

Lesson learned :)

I just have the cerimonial battery charging a couple days before I go out...

1 emag bat
2 9v (for egg)
8 AAA (for warp)......

Takes about a day to get all that done

Oh I take my share of extras, believe me , typically enought to outfit a full 5 man X Ball team . . . and I have had to thanks to plenty of less than estute team mates. :)

Luckily the Mag is so easy to repair that it rarely takes dratic measure to sort it out.
