OK! I played with my Z-Grip Saturday! I only got 3 games in because my bolt got stuck in my barrel when I was chroning in, and it took a while to get that out. Then I had to replace my quickdisconnect o-ring. Plus I reffed a game and stuff. But ANYWAYS...

I played with it and it is VERY comfy! Im just having trouble with accuracy now cuz I have to hold it diffrent, and im trying to get used to an offset tank, and the Z-Grip. But I think its great! I played two games with these really good guys who were having a practise, and one game I played with some newbies. The newbie game was funny though. I ran for the snake off the break, and I only had about 200 rounds. I get to the middle of the feild, and I hold off three people for a while, one kid said I had paint pretty much wizzing past his head, but I still managed to not get him. So after im outta paint, I just keep shooting some. After a lil' bit, I run all the way back to almost the starting station (It was newbies, dont even think i was shot at), then I tell the one guy left on my team to advance and id cover him. I start fanning the trigger real quick and he gets there easily. Then I move again (I was way front left, then back middle, then moved to right front/middle) and then the kid runs outta paint. It was elimination, so I was dead and just called it quits. But I thought it was pretty funny how I got to move so many places without even really getting shot at. But yeah, Z-Grip is great! Planning on playing alot on saturday to really give it the test!

ENDO!

great to hear you had a good time with your Z-Grip... the next question is, how many players, newbies and experienced players alike, asked you if they could 'hold your marker' http://www.automags.org/ubb/biggrin.gif

Well there was like 6 really good guys there, and I think they all held it, and asked about the warp and Z-Grip, and about every newbie there asked what they were, and how I liked them. I got numerous compliments on how cool my gun is. http://www.automags.org/ubb/smile.gif GOOOO AGD!

lol, and the curse of the Z-Grip and Warp continues! it'll be great when we can take a warp to the field and have it as commonplace as the agitated loader... on the other hand, do we really want everyoe to have the warp advantage? http://www.automags.org/ubb/biggrin.gif

I like having everyone look at it! It gets more "OOH!"s and "AHH!"s than any of the electros, or cockers or anything. Also I havnt even seen another warpfeed at any of the feilds around here. It'll be a REAL eye grabber after I get my Flame paintjob!

yeah, I know the feeling, I run with a ReTro Minimag with Warp and Z-Grip, the attention is great... kinda like an auto inflate for you head/ego http://www.automags.org/ubb/biggrin.gif

yeah, we pretty much have the same thing. I have a black powerfeed ReTro with warp, z-grip, and flatline(and other things like dropforward, offset plate, and soon to have my foregrip and extender installed) and it gets a ton of looks because its so freaky looking! I love it!

OMG, mine is a black teflon Minimag, with ReTro, warp, Z grip, and KAPP DZII, and I should be getting my Flatline soon.... freaky... also have a black/silver/green splash anodize sight rail and body rail, looks nice, Id have a foregrip extender on mine, but I now support my paintgun by the tank and/or warp. how does your flatline fit with the warp and Z grip combination?

!HEY! I hold mine by tank too, but am gonna put the foregrip on just incase, and also it'll look cooler when I get my paintjob to have that done with it, cuz mags are so small, I wont have a whole lot to get powdercoated without it.

My Flatline and warp fit fine. I Have an offsetplate that moves them over some, the warp sticks out about an inch or so more than it did, cuz I have that in as close to the tank as I can get it. Its real cool. Im gonna post some picture when I get some developed. I have a 12" All American, 10" 32 Degrees Carbon Fiber, and a 12" J&J Ceramic barrel on mine. And a Red PsychoBallistics dropforward. i think its pretty cool looking.

ENDO!

Odd- I get more people wanting to hold my 'cocker than my Z-Grip mag, and my 'cocker has nothing special but a cut off trigger gaurd to accomidate a double trigger. My Mag has a Z-Grip. Ahh well.

sounds nice, Ive got a Freak barrel and an old 32* carbon fiber... both nice, Ive got a nice foregrip that came with my exclipse kit, but I dont know if I want it on there, I never use it... Ive been considering making my own foregrip extender, so it doesnt move it forward as much... if anything, it would be for cosmetics than actual use. I dont have my tank offset with my Z-Grip, I dont find it bothersome at all, more comfortable if anything, I use it to brace my wrist against and steady my shot moreso.

...weird. My 32 Degrees Carbon Fiber is one of the older ones, without the cool milling. And Id pretty much be using my foregrip for cosmetics. Unless I liked the feel, which I may I donno. But yeah, sounds like a cool gun man.

yeh, thats pretty sweet! whats ur email addy? Mine is gameriggincarnie@hotmail.com I will prolly have some pictures in about two weeks. I wanna take some pics saturday If I get to play. I should have my foregrip extender milled to fit by then, cuz I want a picture of a pretty much finished version of my gun, aside from paintjob. Im gonna have to start working on a new gun now that ive pretty much finished this one. im thinking about eather a Emag, Blazer, Impulse, or Shocker. Im planning on shooting an impulse soon, and my buddy has a Shocker, but I havnt really messed with it. Maybe he'll let me use it for a game, and he can try out my warp/z-grip http://www.automags.org/ubb/smile.gif (He's left handed tho so it'll mess him up hehe). But my gun is pretty much complete!
