Neglected Emag

[Chrishew09]

Your reasons are exactly the reasons I would love to have emag lowers... man I think I'm gonna start saving my pennies. So how would I flash the board, if the board I bought didn't come with the 1.8 beta firmware? And are tunablade triggers still available somewhere?

And sorry Chrishew09 for jacking your thread...

No worries.......
If you do decide to go with Emag lowers, Xmod is a must it's a whole other animal with the Xmod, and I stress the work "animal". The Tunablade isn't a must but its up to your taste, the Xmod can make up for a trigger that isn't that walkalbe by adjust the "FIX" or debounce.

To bad your not local, I'd let you try my Emag.

I'm not local but if you send me yours i promise i'll send i back, just ignore shipping it to a p.o. box..

Seriously though, an emag is the one gun i really want to try, just to see if i would want to shell that much out for it, and all of the people around me that had them don't play anymore or aren't around me anymore. Ah well, i'll just have to ry to make tunaball one of these days i suppose....

I'm with you on the whole shelling out business. I have a pneu'd intelliframe complete with LPR and stock intelliframe as well as a stock tac 1 rail i'd be selling to help off-set the cost, along with a couple other things I could probably sell... But being able to try one out would sure be nice.

Post up on AO, there has to be someone in your area with an Emag......maybe.....
Keep your eye on ebay, sometimes people sell things that dont know what they have.




If your reason for the Emag is to try something different then go for it, if you want to shoot faster.... well whats the point in that if you got a pnumag. Then again I've never shot an pnumag.

Well honestly I don't like how the pneumag trigger feels :/ I never could walk it right, and I tried and tried and tried... it was probably just me though. One of the biggest selling points to me about the e-mag is the options it comes with, especially being able to switch between electronic and mechanical. That's freaking awesome. And I'm sure I can walk it much more easily

E-Mags are heavier than just about any electro-pneumatic marker on the market today

Honestly I never really had an issue with the weight, and have never really understood why people make such a huge deal about it. I can understand that it could be an issue at long scenario games where your carrying the gun for extended periods of time, but if by and large your playing shorter games something like weight really doesnt seem like a big deal. I always felt that if the weight of your gun was slowing you down that much it might be time to start doing some push-ups, of course thats just my two cents.

Chris is totally about this, before he flashed my board I think I was using 3.2 (I'm not familiar with the different versions), and it made such a world of difference. It puts it on par with anything your going to come up against.

Oh i know there are around me, i live just south of the border of wisconsin, about 40 minutes from where the AGD factory used to be, wish i could have gone there before they moved. It's just a matter of them not showing up at my field recently, and i think greenaliens might have an emag, but i think he's in boston getting his masters or something. Hopefully before too long someone will show.

Are you still playing at Breakaway (Paintball Sam's)? My buddy and I are talking about going there to check out the field now that its Breakaway the weekend of Sept 5th or 6th not sure which day. Your welcome to try out my Emag if your out there.

Quite true, and I'm not complaining about the weight either. I had a big event this last weekend that saw me running around an Idaho mountainside and I think after that amount of time any gun gets a little heavy. But compared to something like a Mini or G3 that are both under 2 lbs, an E-Mag is a beast. But even the light guns get a little heavy after you add 6 lbs of tank, hopper, and paint on it.

AGD 3.2 only has semi auto and I'm so glad my board had the X-Mod flash when I bought it. I don't walk or fan a trigger, I've never learned how and I really don't care to. I just use the hyper mode. It lets me fire as fast or slow as I want without bothering with ramp modes.

I'm still reffing/playing there, but unfortunately i'm going back to school on the second so this next weekend is the last weekend. If you go he 5th though talk to mark, he's the field owner and should be there, and he's going to ry to do a big game this fall some time, and if he does i should be there reffing one of the days, maybe playing one if i have time (i.e. no homework) and mark doesn't need me.

I've had the discussion with Chris before, but Ive always wondered if the slight weight reductions you see in markers year is actually noticeable, or if people just fool themselves into feeling the difference especially when the tank, hopper, and paint, are factored into the equation.

i've felt an ego, it was incredibly light compared to mags, but a the same time i dunno if i would want to play with it, or pay that much for a stacked tube gun.

Let's take the Mini and G3, two of the lightest guns right now, both sitting just under 2 lbs minus battery or any aftermarket ASA you may use. Now my ULE E-Mag is about 3.5 lbs by my best guess. So if you add on the same tank, loader, and paint ( I figure 3 lbs tank, 2 lbs loader, 1 lb paint,) to both guns, that's only a 16.7% weight difference which some people may not notice.

dont forget to add the battery to the other 2 for wieght since the mag has its bat already

you hit the nail on the head

the Mini/G3 has another thing going for it, there tiny, so getting in a tight bunker is a little easier and taking snap shoots are faster. but that is subject to argument as well.
