Pneu vs emag

[sffudapparel]

Hey all.
I'm sure it's been discussed before, but what do most people prefer? What are the advantages of both. I'm going to be either building/buying one in the next month or so and need some advice. Here's how I see it

Pneu - Difficult to set up, but will be nice to only rely on air. I wouldn't need the shooting modes (or so i think) so semi would work well. very conceiled and would work well since i'm planing on making the gun a bit smaller. Concerned that it might steal some air and make the gun even less efficient.

Emag - Battery life is a long time, so don't have to really worry about running out of battteries. If i do, theres mech mode. Easy to swap around parts in the future. Easy set up. More expensive. Bigger gun profile.


Anybody wanna help me out?

IMO, pneumagging is super easy. I just built one in under 20 min (and this was my first time ever doing this mod)

I am also in the process of building an e-mag with a morlock board, and to be honest, it can be confusing if you are retarded around chipsets and wiring schematics like i am.

Pneumags do use more air. Not a ton, but I found myself losing about 10% of the shots out of my tank. I think it is all about preference though. personally, I just like straight mech. lighter, more efficient. But that's not an option, so I won't vote. LOL Good luck in your decision.

pnuemags can be alot lighter than any emag, and conceaked to look like a straight mech, with a very light trigger

Price can be about the same depending on your set up. A sleeper mod isnt cheap to have done and then you still need to get a frame, CP direct mount, and LPR... To have it done right it will cost pretty much the same. Now if your looking for speed well i'd say they can be the same also. Now if you get Xmod on a set of emag lowers you will have ramp and stuff (Cheating in my book) if your into that style of play. All in all i'd say its more personal preference than anything else. Try and locate some one with and emag and a pneumag and shoot them both to see what you like better about either gun...

stayhuge - I love mech, but i'm going to try and get on a team in a few weeks and i'm pretty sure the mech version of my rt pro is illegal in tourneys? so i though i'd get one of the two and be set

Honestly I couldn't be happier with my Pnuemag. I never thought a classic valve could shoot that fast and be that nice. I'm debating whether or not I want to do the magnet mod, but for now I am utterly satisfied with it.

That being said I'm sure I would love an emag too, but I can look at the pnuemag and think, "That started out as a pretty stock, simple, old gun and I turned it into a ULE bodied, Warp fed monster of my own creation."

The satisfaction of having evolved this thing myself is more than I could possible have with an emag.



....unless someone wants to give me and extra one they have just, you know, laying around....

the magnet mod on pnuemags is so awesome, very snappy trigger pull, nice and crisp

I second this motion!

Pneumag all the way, fast, light, and tight....

....so, who wants to buy my emag lowers?

Pneu all the way. Ive had quite a few E-mags/e-tacs/x-mags. I sold them all and kept my pneumag. 'nuff said.

[seekandestroy78]

technically i own both, but have nither in my posession right now. i've never shot a penu mag, and i've never shot an emag in emode. really this post is no good to anyone.

i love my emags, when i wanna throw alot of paint, hell i dont think my semi has a true "semi" one shot per pull mode, lol, she spews paint and thats why i like her, but on days when im not trying to shoot 2 cases of paint, ill use the pnuemag and still be able to hold em down while i move, with alot less weight

So i take it you will keep this one then... lol Cause if you ever sell it....!!!! Or at least give me dibs....lol

[B-Pow]

E-mags are nice, but after a long full day of play the weight starts to get to ya. I'd say pneu if you want a fast mag.

It's all personal opinion.

Or if you really want to be insane, make a e-pneu!

Definitely the one Mag Im not parting with. Man I got to rip on it for two days straight at my bachelor party and I was terrorizing fools with it. Once I hit the snake it was all over. Plays sooooo tight!


And its worth noting that the magnetig trigger is like butter. Thanks again!
