Somewhere out there in internet land there has to be a repository of information for the Emag... but I haven't found it. I've found questions and answers on minor issues on various forums, but even the AGD manual for the Emag is just 4 pages. Is there somewhere that information is compiled on this marker, and the various aftermarket upgrades? Like, a "Everything you would ever need to know about the Emag - Questions you didn't even know to ask" thread or something?

Good question! I am going to take a stab at writing something up. Probably won't be as complete and concise as most (lol) would like. If you have XMOD installed, the xmod manual is awesome, very informative! -

A few things to add if you want them.
Won't fire: Check that the trigger magnet is not reversed
Garbage on the display when you turn on the electronics: Trigger magnet too close to the HES
board won't power up. check the grounding screw hole for corrosion or excessive anodizing.
Full auto effect when firing in electronic mode with shot buffering (higher versions of software only): make sure the solenoid wires are connected with the proper polarity. ie reverse them and see if the problem goes away.
Emag generally won't achieve 31 bps. It has a hard time reaching anywhere near what the retro/X valve will cycle at due to the mass of the solenoid plunger.
Voltage spikes due to the solenoid coil are dependent on the rate of change. Therefore, a higher input pressure could theoretically cause a higher induced spike due to the fast sear return. You can protect against these spikes by placing a reverse biased schottky diode across the solenoid leads. That gives the current a path back to the solenoid without achieving high voltages across the electronics on the board.
For batteries: Always keep them topped up. A battery will develop oxidization on the electrodes if they are stored for periods of time at a reduced charge. This oxidization will reduce the batteries ability to deliver high levels of current.Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.Comment
