fab day with the new SFL

[Load SM5]

I went out and put paint through it for the first time today, and I have to day I was very, very impressed. It is so much lighter than my old E-mag, lighter than a buddy's C&C angel. That was the first thing everyone at the field commented on. When I took it to the chrony and fired it for the first time the superbolt did all that it advertised. It felt like like there was'nt a bolt in there at all. I was shooting all-stars out of a 14" boomstick and the accuracy was dead on. I played with it all day and when I was'nt busy sucking I was having great luck with the new gun. I could whip it around and pick off targets easily, I did mention it was light right? I had no problems all day other than one broken ball and I think that was more my fault than the gun's. All and all I am extrmelly happy with the SFL.

sweet dude...... !!! I WANT AN SFL (tom hook me up plz!) lol i love those guns

:D

[rhetor22]

I had a great game today with my mag also. I have played with it once before but i was using co2 and it was real cold so it pretty much sucked. Today was different though! I had the nitro tank filled and the mag performed great. I've been noticing how quiet it is lately.

It is a bit heavy (opposite of the sfl i guess) but i don't notice it when i'm in the game.

Your sfl looks great!

[AGD]

Shewww, at least something is going right.

[LaW]

[RSUAVE911]

[Gecko]

The blackish looking strip in pic 2? It's just a reflection.

[RSUAVE911]

So did it shoot the sameas your old emag?

or was it just lighter?

[LaW]

warp warp warp warp ;) hehe not suggesting anything

[Load SM5]

I guess it was because of the bolt; but it felt much smoother than my old E-mag.

[Load SM5]

Law- would you suggest I get a warp? Actually a buddy is going to let me borrow one (if he remembers to bring it to Mardi Gras) and let me see if I like it.

[LaW]

well yeah check it out if you like it, I havn't played with mine yet ;) but i held an emag with one on it and it was so comfortable... I guess I'm just a die hard for how they make the profile of the marker so nice :)

[deded]

Load... you are making me drool all over the keyboard!

and yeah, you should definately get a warp, I hope you like it when you try out your friend's

we have the same gloves!:D

Does anyone know the weight comparison between an SFL and an Xtreme?

[Ov3rmind]

Nnnnooooooooo, plastic feed neckage! I was praying that that would be changed before production (I like the standard hopper mount. Warp Feed just isn't my style), oh well. That thing still rocks though.

[CFD323]

Did you use the stock small bore Boomstick or did you get the large bore Boomy for your SFL ? I had read a post saying to go with the large bore Boomys due to a possible problem with paint breakage as it leaves the breech and enters the barrel.

Did you notice any difference in feeding ability since the SFL is a vert feed ? But then again you had a vert feed on your Emag too didn't you ? I talked to a guy lately who said that the vert feed Emags don't feed well enough to use the gun in hybrid mode and that you can't fire off long strings of shots even in electronic mode due to the shortcomings of the vert feed setup.

I assume your superbolt worked good too ?

The SFL is definitely a sweet lookin' gun. I may sell my Emag and get one although I'm kinda curious to see if Tom comes out with anything else to make the SFL's even better.

[Load SM5]

I was using the smaller bore boomy Shocktech sent me.It shot All Stars like darts. I did'nt have one break in the breach like I was told I might have. The vertical feed worked great on this E-mag and my old E-mag. I blame feeding issues on the hopper anyway. I managed to fire off some pretty impressive strings even with my old revy.

But after I get the ACE and my HALO from predator....

[Minimag4me]

it looks nice but the barrel seems too long for my taste,

did you get any interesting coments about the marker?

[homer3dfx]

sweet gun i can't wait till i get one

It's a tiny bit long but not bad. I got used to a 12" freak which is more like a 14" barrel. I got quite a few "Wow I want one"'s from a number of guys including a few cocker owner's and a new angel user.

[Bonx0007]

Wow, I want one!

[Bad Dave]

Load,

you have absolutely gotta learn how to shoot left handed, then you can do justice to the gun.;)

I'm happy for you.

[Load SM5]

I'll work on that.;)

I was posted up on a guy and that was the most comfortable way to wait for his elbow to stick out again. I do need to practice lefty some more, though.

I would hate to disgrace the beauty of the gun...

[Bad Dave]

Personally i believe there to be only two valid ways to feed your gun.

Warp feed

Vert feed, but work on right/left shooting.

Why do I say this? Either way should reduce your profile.

I am working on my left hand shooting and its just the rate of fire that is lacking but that should come along nicely in a coupla months.

Good luck with your new gun Load even though I am a little bit jealous:rolleyes:

[Bonx0007]

Hey load, who ever you were posting on must have been terrible because look at the shot dispersal across the front of the bunker. It is the same color that splashed you. He or she is all over the board. They could not hit you if they wanted to. I hope you won the fire fight.

[Load SM5]

We did... Although not all the paint is from the same guy. There's another guy right in front of me. And a 3rd guy that had been shooting at me before I tagged him trying to move up. We were all using the same paint. And I was getting a lot of spray were the boards had pulled apart some.

Those jerks got paint all over my new shiny gun. ;)

[paintballer187]

WOW, i like it a lot, nice pics too by the way

[Vegeta]

Man whoever was unloadign that green paint was all over- the same paint on your hopper/amsk was the same paint on the bunker you were in... all over it. Looks like they were tryin hard.

Edit: thats pretty bad, Black, when you mess up an edit!

[MajorDamage]

SWEET! Thats a really nice Emag! :D!

ENDO!

[Load SM5]

They were. One of them was actually fellow AO'er Smokee 2_7. He almost drilled me good, at one point. The guy you see behind my in pic 1 actually tore the game open when he ran pretty much the length of the field and got Smokee out of the 50 and ended up behind the last person on his team. I just puffed up and tried to be distracting.

[Load SM5]

one more...

[Load SM5]

...

[IceCool32]

:( Grrr, why do I keep coming back to this thread? The more I look at the green mask and the SWEET SFL, the more I want one.....Guess I'll settle with Black telfon Hopper left Emag.

[Load SM5]

last one...

[Load SM5]

Aww heck a few of Smokee from a different game...

[Load SM5]

last one I swear...

[IceCool32]

BOOOOOOO! You're tempting me! Damn you. Nice Emag. I've decided to buy one. Seling my Impulse to a friend whos looking for a fast,reliable marker.

Edit: By the way Load, do you think once I get my Emag you could make me some red or blue grips? Transparent like that is.

[Load SM5]

Definately on the red..still working on the blue

[IceCool32]

Hrmmm, how much would the Red cost me? Estimated price is fine.

[Bonx0007]

Load sm5 I am gonna need a set of green ones. My Extreme is going to be green. If the Extremes don't come in green than I will buy a green SFL. So Load you have a little time. I am planning on buying my gun at the LA Open. Tom, I hope you bring a green one!:D

[Load SM5]

$20 IceCool

[zvanut]

sweet gun, u need a clear revvy for now to match the grips ;)

get on AIM sometime, we havent talked for a while :)

[Load SM5]

I'm getting a HALO to feed it, should be here as soon as Predator starts getting them. I'll be around later tinight Zvanut

[Bonx0007]

Sorry load if it sounded like I was ordering you to make them. I meant to ask. Ma y i please. I will pay you. And can you make green ones?

[RSUAVE911]

Load,

As soon as you make the blue wants I want some. Rubber grips would be great too.

[zvanut]

hey RSUAVE911,

they r acrylic not rubber :)

[RSUAVE911]

yeah I know but I want him to make some rubber ones too.

[Smokee_2_7]

hehehe. THat was fun.

ya know what we forgot to take a pic of? the grips you made for my z-grip mag (for any that didnt notice, thats what im shooting in the pics) they're looking good, cant wait till you get the silver flames on them. . . heheh.


So your saying that im one of those 'jerks' that got paint over your shiney gun? hmmm. :D

Also, i will cooberate load's story - - he was nice enough to let me play a game with his gun, and man, that thing rocks. I had played with his old emag, and the sfl is WAAYYYYYY lighter. I almost couldnt believe it. It was lighter than both the angels out there. I want one.

[Load SM5]

Did you get those pics Carl? I'll post the Z-Grip pics when I get the flames on them tomorrow.

Bonx- No worries, I did'nt feel ordered.

[Smokee_2_7]

yup. Got the pics. . . thanks alot. Oh, while im thinking about it, was it with your camera that douge took a picture of me supermanning into a bunker (i.e. mud hole) off the break on the speedball field? lol. he really messed me up on that one. . . talk about being right in my way. . Anyway, if so, would you send that one to me also? thanks.

[Load SM5]

It was but it did'nt turn out at all. You could'nt make out a thing. Doug's great with low action shots but when there's a lot of movement involved he seems to freak out a bit.

[Hysperion]

Well at least someone's SFL works. What I think is bs is the fact that you got a colored barrel. I asked "Does it come with the AGD barrel", Kevin replied "No you gotta order that seperately. So would you like to order the matching dye barrel." So I said "sure but do you have a large diameter one, I heard there was problems with the small bores." He calls me back, "yep we got one left. Usually we don't have these in stock." So I'm thinking its matching right? WRONG. O well the gun is so cool that even though I got a .690 boomy in standard color, no vertical elbow, no ACE, busted electronics after 100 shots, I still love the gun :D
