Pumpin the Emag?

[Strider]

Has anyone tried rigging a pumpkit to an emag before?

One would have to solve the problem of mounting the pump arm, but what do you guys think?

I thought of this a few weeks back you could play every stile of paintball with one marker

You could make it electropump!

I'm not sure if that is really doable right now with the emag since there are electronics in the rail if I remember correctly.

Here's an idea:

To make an Emag pump, build a pump arm that just operates a switch. The switch would then be part of a circuit that only allows the main board to fire once between switch activations.

Would only work if you removed the trigger rod though.

With the original mag pump design, I always wondered if it wouldn't be better to have a plate or mechanism that interfered with the sear preventing it from returning rather than sticking the wave spring behind the bolt.

Nope, no circuitry in the rail. At least not in standard emags.

I too thought of an electrical based pump. Would be really neat... But yeh, you'd have to play in E-Mode.

If we could program the emag to have a "pump mode", where the marker went into a safety state each time it was fired. The pumparm could then remove the safety state each time it pumps. Wheres Miscue...

I think you've got the right idea. In fact, it's an alternate aproach to even a mechanical only pump version of the mag. Interfere with the trigger and not the bolt.

For the E-Pump, a small solenoid that locks the trigger like the safety until the pump is activated. Or more power conscious a safety that locks unless the solenoid is activated by the pump.

For a mechanical version that would work with both E-mag and regular Mag, a spring loaded safety that needs to be pushed out by the pump and is reset by the sear assembly returning.

you can remove the battery pack and mount them anywhere you want, i have seen e-mags with the batteries stuffed in the tank cover, or you can sew a neoprene pocket on the tank cover.

wait a mintue, then make it a cockermag, then ecocker mag.

the ultra mag

-mech semi
-hybrid
-electropnuematic
-pump
-cocker
-e cocker

that sounds sweet.

sorry cant make the mag fire in a closed bolt position uless you add something else to seal the dump chmaber while bolt is forward.

even mag pumps are open bolt blow forward

Who said anything about making the mag closed bolt?
