stock impulse vs. stock mag

[John V]

what is the better of the two? a stock impulse w/ vision eye or a stock mag w/ Level 10??
What makes it better than the other?

[Miscue]

Comparing a non-retro mechanical to an electro... I'd say the electro has a definite mechanical advantage.

[banzaimf]

define better.

More durable? Higher ROF? Easier on paint?

[John V]

better- best overall in all categories

[Miscue]

Well... you're getting into subjective stuff now. And, comparing an electro to a mechanical makes for a severe mismatch. An RT Pro is a much better match up... but still mech vs. electro.

You will be able to shoot faster with ANY electro vs. a stock Mag... and speed is usually the bottom line. Mags in general are super reliable/dependable. I have my opinions on the Impulse... based entirely on heresay rather than firsthand, so I won't mention... good or bad.

Try the guns out yourself, and pick what you like. I also wouldn't limit yourself to Impulses... there are other decent low cost electros as well.

your not allowed to compare those two. they are opposite ends of the spectrum

well, after owning a stock impulse and a stock mag at the same time (no vision or LX), i have one thing to say. i sold the imp and kept the mag. i just liked the mag better.

the mag never let me down, and was/is consistent.

the imp, wellllllll, that was another story. it was inconsistent, didnt always work, and i just didnt like it.(and yes, the max-flo was broke in).

in fact i still have the minimag, highly modded, but it is still in use.

there is a reason why i am asking this question in a post. I have an impulse right now and i like it and everything, its just sometimes messes up on me. Another thing is that its one of the most heavy guns ive ever held & is also big.

Im considering buying a RT Pro & need some suggestions on if its better to keep the imp or to go with a mag...

I've owned my Impulse since June of last year. It has NEVER FAILED ME! It is and will be my primary marker for a long time. My back-up is a sweet Mini-Mag with level 10. (ULE body in the mail!!! Yeah!) But my mag will always be backup to my Impy because no matter what,,,it's not as reliable! I have it pretty nicely tuned, but it still has hiccups! Last week it performed flawlessly for my friend!! But the week before that,,,,I almost threw the feakin thing! Nothing I or any of the mag guys could do would make it stop chopping! With the level 10!! Weird! I put it in the case, brought it out 7 days later, and I was once again proud to own it!!!! Figure it out! I didn't do anything to it, and it worked flawlessly! ?????? All this aside, they are very different machines, and both are an acquired taste. Best thing I can say is try both and go for the 'feels good' thing!

p.s. The Impy with the Halo B is hard to beat for speed! :)
