emag micro 2000

thanks MM hes a good kid and he should start with a good gun. i was 18 in 1989 and started with a pmi 3. spent mad money in it then i got shot to **** by some guy with a brand new mini mag.......that was it. next paycheck i had a brand new mini mag one of the first running it off of a 2 1/2 pound tank on a remote. shot two cases of paint that weekend. and thats when paint was 125 bucks a case. man i spent serious cash back in the day. thats when national paintball was just starting out in the little store next to ginos dads pizza parlor in mantua NJ.

I guess it would be because a solenoid moves faster, and more fully, than a human finger. Because of this, a shorter pin is used in an Emag because a solenoid will open and reclose the on/off fully so fast that the longer pin can lead to shoot down. While a manual frame with a shorter pin will cause short-stroking.

Good theory but the fact the emag also works in mech mode pretty much disproves it. It could be due to the different sear design though.

Big flaw in my logic.

I wonder what the reason is.
Reactivity of the shorter pin?
Shorter throw so it doesn't bottom out the solenoid?

The emag does get more reactive. It just isn't as obvious because of the extra mass of the solenoid plunger. The shorter emag pin reduces the amount of friction by limiting the amount of time the pin is in contact with the oring. The electronics do allow a more precise pull and release, so the sear does reset better than on a mechanical marker.
