    Like the stright down one fixed position no block. Like the existing Emag one too. More comfortable than it looks. Like the cover for them idea as well.


    AGD, where we are so good we can do it with only ONE tube!

      The ones that *are* removable. With that block on the top, it looks like they might be interchangable with the standard grip...

      Am I correct in thinking this?

      Will you be able to unscrew the round one and slide it off and then slide on the standard one?

        I agree with Shartley...

        I like the battery pack the way it is, and think it looks even sexier on the modular emags - I don't like the new ones at all. A series of 'limited" custom bodies that could replace the stock body and have say rubber inserts, jewels. or even clear plastic inserts would be better.

        The options shown remind me of cocker front married to a mag rear.

        Sorry,

          If you put grips on that foregrip it would feel so much better! I couldn't imagine here in Connecticut putting my hands around that and getting frozen to the metal. You should make a picture with some nice grips on it, Tom.

              I like the forgrip style, but I think it needs to be fitted better to the shape of the body rail and grip frame

                AGD I have your answer make it an option, round or traditional battery pack. Options sell. I think it would work well. just find a way to make them interchangeable. that would be sweet and every one would be happy.

                  serisously I was very disapointed that the minimag body wasn't going to be around anymore, but after that mag in the "cut and carved" thread and this new angled batt pack I'm REALLY starting to wonder if I should be saving my pennies for the day that AGD does have these features on a E-mag

                    Personally, I never found ANYTHING wrong with the CURRENT battery pack! And I'd sure rather have twice the shots than switch for some tube where I gotta pick up a ton of AAA's before each weekend. I'm with the others who think that all we need are some nice grips! But nice designs, AGD!

                      I really do not see a problem with the battery pack now. Leave it how it is.

                        I love the original battery pack on the E-mag. This new one ruins the flow of the design. It doesn't look good. Keep the original and make a slip-on grip like Shartley said.

                          To tell you the truth the only way I would be able to pick one is to hold the complete set up. I for sure don't like the removable battery packs with the block. Having a fixed battery is fine with me; the only time I take the battery off is to charge it. Put a charging jack on the bottom and it would be perfect, wouldn't have to worry about the battery not coming off because the drop is in the way. I think the angled looks pretty good, I would like to see a picture with a little less angle, in-between the vertical and angled. later Hills

Then you could use Shatley's idea of slip on grip covers in different colors and designs. That way no one would really be calling for milled battery packs.
                              I have to agree with Load SM5 here. An oval battery pack would look best. For the removeable option I have to agree with Manike and say that the block on top needs to be milled to flow ino the battery pack. Would it be possible to make an oval Battery pack using the current battery pack internals?

                              Angled vs. Straight: I would have to vote straight myself. I don't like the look of the angled battery pack. Mind you I was thinking of a double Zgrip Emag for the Fantasy contest from last year, but that's another story.

                              Tom once again you have honoured us by asking our opinion on something that you are t rying to produce for us. I can only hope that the advice we give you will help you to make the best possible marker you can.

                                I don't really like the vertical foregrip that is perm attached. I looks like it may be too close to the trigger frame. However, just because I don't like it doesn't mean it's not a good idea. Some other people out there might prefer it.

                                BTW, they do make NiMH AAA bateries.
