    Emag electronic firing issue

    Hey I just recently bought an E-mag with a Classic valve setup and can not get the gun to fire in electronic mode. Do I need the Emag on/off assembly to get it to fire in electronic mode? The gun works in hybrid/manual mode.

    I do not think the marker will work with the classic valve.

    You need an RT valve at the very least.

    Buy an x-valve for 200 with a stock RT on off and you can sand the pin a little if needed.

        it will work with a classic valve. You will need an emag on/off to have it work. It will not get a high rof.

          ^^^

          good advice

          IMHO, an emag ain't an emag without a fast-recharge valve, be-it an Emag valve, ReTro or X-Valve.

          Even with a classic valve set-up with a new on/off, it's still like putting a 4 cylinder engine into a Corvette!

            I agree I am going to atleast use a Retro Valve. Kind of funny though is the mag came with the X-mod software!

              You have a 2005 Lowers with a 1995 Uppers. LOL

              As mentioned, It should work with the correct on/off assembly, but in limited fashion. But that is the cool thing about mags. Parts are interchangable, so when you get the money and want to upgrade to a faster valve assembly, it drops right in.

              Long live the mag!!!

                Yeah, I think I am just going to slap the E-mag valve back into it when I get paid again.

                  The AIR valve will work quite well in the emag as long as the emag on-off is used. It has ample recharge rate. In an electronic frame it doesn't suffer the same effects of shootdown due to short stroking as it does with a manual frame. The added beauty of the AIR valve is the increased velocity stability that it possesses over the retro valve. The retro/emag valve is good but the AIR valve is rock solid when it comes to velocity stability.
                  Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.

                    Well I took apart the valve and noticed something was loose and push it back into the side of the valve( I've forgotten part names over the years I haven't been playing paintball) and it seemed like the gun was firing quite well in electronic mode. I will report back to this thread once I go play this weekend.
