Why the E-Mag isn't a "MainStream" gun

And no, you don't just turn up your velocity.

You use inertia. Take a few different paintballs, and weigh them. the heaviest one will shoot the farthest... but not by much really, probably less than 3 feet more... But I haven't done any math, so i don't know how much farther a slightly heavier ball would shoot.

The heaviest paint is the RPS Premium Gold. So if you want more range go with that.

ive got a cocker.....its huge!
ive got a nitro.......its a football!

i like using my cocker...it weighs 15lbs easily....but for me, it takes my mind off of aiming/*****in/bein a pussy

and the funniest thing...i play front...w/ a 16in

my point is...most people are just ignorant...they know that cockers arent that much better

having shot just about every gun on the market....there not that much different

sorry for all the dots, its how i type

Now the mag has a couple things going for it and in reality its an amazing gun. I mean you can buy the same design all the way from a 300$ classic too a 1300 Xtreme all from the same company. and it has the fastest regulator in the market not only that but it wont break down its a durable gun. but that isnt good enough to sell the gun now it has to have a real advantage in I would say at least 3 areas to break back into the market. and be equal to all other high end guns everywhere else. the mag is small but being small is really not all that great unless its mass is low too. I think that AGD should be offering a reduced wieght valve and bolt. for its top of the line gun, the xtreme. the gun is fast the only thing i can say with that is tk dont be bashfull show people the gun can kick far past 20 blow every one out of the water, other companies arent affraid to flaunt numbers with shootdown show us how fast the mag can go. show the thing doinf 30 bps if it can and get it up to the 26 without shootdown. And f we dont have a solution to the cleaning the bolt the thing better not ever break a ball in or near the breach. If AGD can pull this off the mag will come back up to mainstream. and all kinds of people will be buying them for no other reason then they saw soem pro shooting it or cause it looked pretty. but of course AGD cant stop there they have to keep going integrated hoppers and what not. It wont surprise me if right now wdp is already working with a cirtain someone many of us know on a integrated hopper.

1) there are videos out there showing the xMag at 20bps full auto, check out odyssey's website. Oh, and this is 20bps with no chops whatsoever, try that on any other gun.

2)the xmag has one of the lightest bolts out there. the level 10 weighs 1.3 oz, if i remember correctly.

3) agd does offer integrated hoppers, called the intelliframe. What about the warp feep, also an agd invention.

4) the xmag is also almost all aluminum, its nice and light.

5) you can get fades/powdercoats that make it bling just as much as any marker out there.

TK and AGD have really outdone themselves, this is a world class marker.

Exactly ! ! ! ! when i first, FIRST saw a mag, i wondered how they are so figgin godly when they are just a cylinder on a trigger frame. i had NO idea they were so good, untill i bought one my self, and i dont think i will ever gat anything but a mag. mine has never broken/had probs/ or anything, and if it does i got 3 stars on my valve. i feel sorry for the people with cockers and stuff.

I agree with WickeDKlown it's nice haveing and unpopular gun. People always want to look at it and it becomes the center of attention.

The best part however is when someone with a cocker,impulse or any other marker like that snickers at your mag before the game, and when it's all over you get to laugh your *** off at them because your mag was either

A) still working when their gun was commiting suicide

or

B)the gun that sent them to the sidelines.

wurd up FRAUSTY, tell it like it is homeboy. AGD All the way!!!! You cannot beat a 'Mag with ACE and Level 10 inside. E-Mags and X-Mags will rip Angels a new @$$hole, two times. WGP Autocrappers don't even come close.

I can't shoot a cocker!!

and i'm proud of it!!
cockers have so much kick back compare to my mag. also that back block scares me. i think it's going to hit my face. sure a cocker can outshoot me but i got a tighter pattern.

I have owned cockers and have never owned or shot one that a mag can't easily keep up with. The EBlades are nice but still, they are nothing real special. I've sent plenty of EBade owners walking w/ my EMag.

[FrAuStY]

Oh no... not this thread again! Well since it sent me an email.. I guess I'll reply.. then remove it from my subscribed list.

I can't count the number of times I've be elim'd by a player who owns a cocker....... because I've never been elim'd by a cocker. Is that coincidence... maybe. But if they were sooooo good... and soooooo accurate... I should be able to at least count how many times I've been shot by one.

I can however count the number of cocker owners, who threw a fit because I sent them walking to the dead box. One of which was at SEAO II . As far as not being able to keep up with cockers, wtf are you thinking? Cockers are slow. Eblade cockers.. are quick... but not as quick as other electros. They still have multiple moving parts, and squences that require "time" the mag... requires all of .03 seconds to complete it's cycle.. most cockers require at least .07 seconds... thats a huge difference in cyclitic rate. Cockers will never be BETTER than another gun. They have their own advantages and disadvantages.. which just makes them an all together different gun. Big freaking deal.

I wiped once... it was my arse.. and I used a cocker

[Evil1]

I think it comes down to preference. mags and cockers came out around the same time and a lot of people started shooting them when they first came out. So I think its more of what people are used to. There are die hard cocker fans that swear by them, same w/ mags, and they are both good guns, and they both have there pros and cons. I swear by my mags, but my best friend who started playing the same time I did swears by his cockers.

[LoveMyMagMoreThanYou]

There are only two reasons that the E/Xmag are not mainstream. Lack of Advertising and lack of sponsorship. Otherwise they have a competitive marker. I'm never relinquishing my 'Mag. I've had it for 4 years. I've only had to replace the occasional o-ring and clean and oil it. My kind of marker. No one I play with can outshoot me. I don't care what kind of marker they have. As far as chopping, Level 10 took care of that. I'm out!

[GA Devil]

it comes down to the consumer needs to see a couple on the podium in a national tournement. Then everyone will run out and get 1. The E and Xmag has what it takes. Now someone has to put them up there.

Im no cocker lover however I think you are mistaken.
Here is an eblade shooting 35bps, makes the 26bps claim of the mag seem a little slow doesnt it?
