      Good to know that somone of Tom's status seeks "relief" from a sport he helped create. A sport now ruled by a single patent.

        Stock battery pack all the way,
        One thing i have noticed, once people actually own an emag they stop complaining about how "big" it is. I wonder how much of it is people just saying change it becuse they heard it was uncomfortable.

          Love the direction. I think either the drop down - or the 15 degree angle would rule. Maybe have either option?


          BUT - you need to ehance the look of the forgrip. Dont make it just a rectangluar prism or cylinder - put some design into it - make it appealing to the eye and touch!

            Sorry Tom, the permanent one looks okay, the removable one.. well, unless it costs pennies to make, and only a few dollars to buy.. I wouldn't go for it, the removable one especially doesn't look aesthetically pleasing..
            as much as i hate to say it, aesthetics are a large part of paintball markers.

              My opinion is if your gunna change for for grip,ave it straightand put some carvings in it to make it look better.If you could find a way to make it removable with out the big square block cuz that makes it look quit dumb to me.ALSO I say if these things are to hard to fix then just stick with the original.I always liked the original.

                  I agree w/ Gecko, I like the look anf feel of the original, and it is a non-issue while playing. Who would want to diminish battery capacity anyway. My E-Mag feels fine.

                    HMMM... I thought the mag battery wouldn't change THAT much. If you made the design closer to the original I would like it more. The round grip battery is cool but I'd still like a different design over it... Mind if i give it a shot at redesigning it?

                      Do not have an Emag yet, but the original battery pack has a style and flair that flows smoothly and complements the Emag and especially the Extreme. Please do not change it or at least if requested by others, have the round one as a option. Better yet as has been mentioned already some subtle slide on grips would be outstanding. Besides the extra life of the original battery is what I want on my Extreme!! Still an honest effort to keep Mag owners happy.

                        To tell you the truth i like the batterie that comes with the e-mag now. the angled grip to me looks really dumb. on the other hand i agree about having an oval grip i think that would look really nice also.

                          Oh crap... My idea was crap... I tried putting the grip parallel to the barrel for a more egro design for attacking and tucking. It looked horrible but it would be more comfy when tucking and firing. Do you guys still have my fantasy emag entry? It didn't look so good but it was my best picture of that idea.

                            I personally like the angled battery pack. I don't think that it needs to be made with AAA batteries though. Just make an angled normal style battery pack. That would be comfortable.

                                i think stay with the original design and mill/gut it out. looks better for the e-mag imo
