    Thinking of getting an Emag... few questions

    Hey, Thinking of getting an emag this week... but I have a few issues to discuss before I make my final decision.

    First off.. This will be my set up incase your wondering.
    Black Left Feed Emag
    Warpfeed and 12vlt
    14in Dye UltraLite
    68cu 3000Psi Pure Energy tank

    Ok... im wondering... will I any shoot down with this set up... say if I was shooting eh.. 10-12bps

    And my other issue is... chopping.. most of my friends are telling me that they always chop all the time.. and arent good at all. and say i should get a impulse or bushmaster.... well i just need some people to clear up some of this...

    I Also want your opinions on the emags as well
    Like.. When you got it.. how did you like it... and do you still like it as well as you did when you first got it?

    Thanks, I am new to Mags and such and to these forums so who ever can help that would be cool.

    If anything the limiting factor is the tank. I have no expereience on the PE tanks. As long as you can keep it fed the valve will be able to keep up with BPS rates up into the strasosphere. 20 bps with NO shootdown. It IS the fastest single barreled gun in the world.

    As for chopping you only need a few more additonal things:

    -$4 plastic nubbins.
    - A barrel that works, some barrel manufacturers make thier barrels out of tolerance.
    - For barrel breaks... Perhaps a foamie bolt if you are using super brittle paint.
    Did you hear about the new european weapons contracts? France is going to make the wooden sticks Spain making the little white flags

      Shootdown - not until about 26bps.

      Chopping normally a loader issue, not so much the gun. If you outshoot your hopper, consider a warp feed or HALO.


      First thing I got was a CP Pro Kit.

      My gun:

          if you can afford all this consider the e-mag extreme with antichop eye.

          The only marker faster than an e-mag is an RT Pro, my finger isn't that fast though.

            I've chopped one paintball since I got my Emag about 6 months ago. It was in manual mode because I forgot to bring the screw that holds the battery on. Every other break I've had has been due to old paint or poor barrel to paint match. Never Warp related. With the warp feed on I can also crawl behind bunkers and shoot sideways from the bottom like the pump guys do, except I've got a little more firepower going down field. Don't let anyone tell you their angel can outshoot an Emag!

              i just got mine about a month ago...had a few chops, but that was in manual mode (with a broken revvy)...

              electro mode...no chops, a few barrel breaks, though

              played with the halo this weekend, IT IS AWESOME...had a few barrel breaks, with stars and marbs, using a freak...weather was crappy...

              put the foamie bolt on, and it GREATLY reduced the breaks...i think i broke about 4-5 yesterday out of a case...

              DEFINATELY get an emag...you will LOVE the 3 shot hybrid...think about a halo, though, if you can afford it

                In your dreams.



                The setup you desribed is the EXACT one that I have except I added a HALO this weekend. You'll eat people up with it. No chops. Just don't forget to turn everything on!:)

                  technically the RT valve can charge and shoot faster than the almost identical valve in the emag, because there is no electronic delay. Of course in actual use the e-mag is faster.

                    I don't have an emag but I do have a classic that shoots at 15bps with out choping I got p/f and 12vlt revvy and I've seen plenty of bushmasters chop not to say they arn't good the biggest draw back I see is the pure energy tank I'd go with an adjustable output tank if you can afford it
