Speedball with a Zmag...

[Schven79]

Ask Leafy, it didn't end well. Rt'ing like crazy, long as hell, chopping! Oh gawd the chopping. It had some strange bolt with no foamie but instead a metal tip which didn't help. Regardless it was a good laugh. If I had used a smaller tank it would have been more comfortable.

I'll see if I can dig up some pictures, I really doubt it.

Wut?

[Schven79]

Wut?

I played airball with a Zframed Mag. It was crazy.

[behemoth]

cool story, bro.

[Schven79]

cool story, bro.

Thanks. It would be better with videos...

It didn't have level 10... I'm guessing you had a long-nose bolt? I've never had any exceptional chopping problems.

I'd like to see pics of your set up.

Typically z-framed mags are more compact then a normal frame.

[Schven79]

I said that I would look for pictures of me playing with it but I doubt I'd find any.

The bolt was really hard (not a lvl ten) on paint but it was also Rt'ing at about 20 with a Pinokio on it.

Leafy is a member on many internet forums and goes to my local field.

Usually yes BUT the guy would previously owned it put on a front grip on it that extends out the frame maybe 3-4 inches. I was also using an 88/3000 crossfire tank. (LOOOOOONNNGGG)

Why did you start your thread like you had litteraly just been talking to us? :confused:

Sorry I didn't mean to work it funny... I just posted it. Jeez so many critics on my thread.

[Fred]

This thread delivers confusion.

There hasn't been a critique yet, so no critics. However...

Your lack of backstory in the original post led most other members to confusion. Not only was there lack of backstory, there was no plot. The details provided were less than adequate to form a complete picture of what you were intending. It seems you were going for sympathy, but with lack of development, we the readers could not associate with you, thus we could not provide sympathy. However, it also seemed that you were wanting advice on how to better setup your marker for speedball, and offer advice on fixing the problems you hastily mentioned. This was also difficult to do because we know very little of your marker's setup, other than it is a 'Mag, and it has a Z-Frame. Also, the visuals were lacking. Pictures are almost always appreciated.


There. You've been "critic'd."

[OPBN]

Actually, I took it as someone coming in, making fun of Mags and trying to demonstrate how terrible they are to use in speedball. I think it's called stirring the pot.

I could be wrong though.

And I thought you went by Magoo now?

[DeTrevni]

Yeah, but apparently switching names is harder online than I thought. I'll get around to it.

[Leafy]

he was shooting this mag,

but it was setup like this,

and it apparently needs a lvl10 to be used consistently (or schven was chopping on purpose to give me more to clean). :shooting:

[behemoth]

Got it. Maybe he needs an Ion, or something really easy to play with.... :p

TIPPMANN.

[smilestyler]

Did you try turning down the flatline's output pressure?

[Schven79]

This particular setup was rather bad in speedball solely because of its length BUT jumping to conclusions like "I don't like Mags" and "You should get an Ion" is very insulting. I shoot a Pneumag...

You want backstory here it is. So today my buddy Leafy showed up at the field with his Zmag. Asked me if I brought my giant Crossy (not the flatline) tank and I did. We slapped that on there, my hopper, and chronied in. Then after rt'ing of a hopper in the chrono station and nearly dying laughing I headed out onto the field. Then the hilarity began watching me struggle with the new setup and the fact that I couldn't switch hands because of a reverse valve with a hardline.

Happy?

Check the feed plug...

Flip the bottle to the front, give it force feed loader, a case of paint, and try again...

[Schven79]

We knew about the plug but he said go for it anyways. :rofl:

Oh and I used a Pinokio.

[Frizzle Fry]

Oh and I used a Pinokio.

You Pinokio should keep up... Definitely a bolt issue.

[behemoth]

If its RTing off a crossfire that hard, then you're doing something wrong.

[Schven79]

Well it was quick bursts... which didn't help. Pinokio kept up for the most part but it did break/chop plenty of paint. It actually sprayed from the powerfeed up onto the side of my loader. :D

[Leafy]

it was r/ting quite fast off that crossfire tank. and I have the new style feed plugs coming in the mail as we speak. and what kind of bolt issue? I had the bolt 2nd from the left in the gun.

I also have the bolt 2nd from the right in my mini mag (PTP bolt I think), would that bolt be better?

[ProblemKinder]

level 10 dude.

[sjrtk]

level 10 dude.

Amen. Best thing i ever did for my mags was the level 10.
