    How can I make my e-mag shoot more balls per second?

    I just upgraded to a 3.2 emag from my rt pro. How can can I get my emag to shoot more balls per second? Does anyone know of some good trigger mods for the gun or things of that nature?

    make your fingers faster by practicing walking on EVERYTHING.. i drive my friends crazy tapping on everything.. but i've gone up 3 bps in the past month and a half. and you could also shave the lump off

      Use a low SHBF setting.

      But that won't help you if your fingers are slow.

        Look in the Deep Blue section and get Lornecashs Xmod software. Also get a Tunablade trigger.

          The tunablade is a nice improvement, smooth roller bearing trigger. Adjust the trigger travel shorter also lighten it up. I use a paper punch to make little shims to set the (1) rail magnet futher away from the trigger magnet so the trigger is lighter to pull. I use a paper punch on an aluminum can for the shims 4 or 5 is all, if I remember right. If you use say paper, it is more shims. Trial and error. Just watch out you don't cut yourself if you use the can. Other than that set the shot buffer down and practice. The only other thing you might consider if you still need more bps is upgrading software/new board. That should cover it all.

            Buy a Pred board when/if they become available. Then you can use PSP Ramping.

              Hey thanks for the help guys, I have a tunablade on order. As far as putting the aluminum shims in, do i put them on the magnets that are above the trigger? I have two magnets there right now. I am going to try the magnet mod for sure though.

                Yes you put them under the magnets above the trigger. I would just use a few shims and one magnet. You could also try removing everything and put a bb in place of the magnet with no shims (yes it will stay in place).

                    The magnet in the rail under the body. You only need 1 magnet. My brother's had like 4 magnets in it! The trigger sucked! I fixed that right away. You place the shims under that single magnet in the rail. By making the magnetic field weaker between the magnet mounted in the rail and the magnet at the top of the trigger it will make the trigger much lighter, but if you make it too light and too short (shorting the travel) it will become tempermental. Meaning it could fire by being bumped. OOPs! So be careful with that. Trial and error. 3.2 has a test mode, trigger on/off. This will aid you in making it reliable. When I had 3.2 mine was extremely light and short. When I installed a predator board for faster rates of fire. The bolt slaming back and fourth much faster caused it to fire, fire without me continueing to pull the trigger (runaway). I had to back it off some and reduce the amount of shims. Although now with the tunablade it is more precision as far as slop compaired to stock, maybe I can lighten it up again. The E/Xmags are wonderful for adjustments to the trigger. All magnets and a set screw on the mode selector cam for travel. Just a nice simple set up. Since your doing a tunablade it doesn't really matter. I find sometimes in older mags the trigger gets paintball gunk up in there and it tends to be sticky along with electrolysis between the trigger pin and the aluminum trigger. Pull the trigger clean it up and it works smoother. That's all I know on that subject. Hope this helps you.

                      I have a balled up piece of paper in place of one of the magnets in my E-mag and I have tuned to so it will fire if I blow on it!!!
                      With the stock trigger I dont know how fast I am shooting but I can easly out shoot my 2005 Apache.
                      Cant wait to see what happends when I get a Tunablade.

                        Dare I say...retarded...

                        the only reason you can probably shoot that fast is because of bounce...you're gonna hurt someone, probably yourself if you forget to put on a barrel blocker and the wind picks up...

                          First off, dont be so quick to judge when you dont have all the facts........

                          I was just giving and example that I have adjusted the trigger to fire off of just a blow, but I DO NOT keep it like that to play. And to avoid bounce and the trigger walking away, the SHBF is set b/w 10-20mS.

                          Dont throw insults out like that, it's just not cool.
