Neglected Emag

[Chrishew09]

I bought a Mini in the spring wanted to try something different and have been playing with it all summer and I like it. Well my Emag has been sitting at home being neglected, and I actually thought about selling it. I gassed it up today, oh man I forgot how much I love my Emag. It just fits me like a glove, I dont know what I was thinking! I can't describe it, I guess it's like an old pair of shoes or jeans.
The tunablade is so much better then the trigger on the Mini, I can get the Emag going so much faster then the Mini.
I'll be using my Emag the rest of the summer.

you should drive here to ct let me hold your gun while u jump off the bridge ill take good care of it for u till u get back

Haha Chris, ya know whats really sad is that your emag is still the most used one at the field. Im still debating selling mine, and that still gets more use then my dad's or Tony's.

I think Tony's has seen about one hopper since he got it, and he's never used it in electro mode. Your dad prob. has seen about 4 balls...........

What are some reasons people don't use them anymore? I guess I mean what makes them inferior to current electro's? I have been considering turning my mag into an emag by buying some lowers for it... would it be worth it do you guys think, or should I spend the money on a better newer more current gun? I am seriously biased to represent AGD too btw...

agd with xmmod is the same as all other guns just a lil heavier battery lasts months instead of a days worth of games and opps i forgot about mech mode

Chris can confirm this, but the reason I dont use mine is because all I really play is pump, or stock class when I feel like a challenge. Normally it doesnt matter what others are shooting. I think the e-mag is a fantastic semi, but I just dont find semi play very exciting or challenging.

Like I said in my first post, i bought the Mini for something different, but the Emag is just a much nicer marker. Yeah, it's heavier then the Mini (what isn't), but oh my goodness that thing can rips with the Xmod and Tunablade, McMahon can contest to that. I have my Emag set to 15bps and consistently hit the limiter, I've never timed it or anything but i'm confident that if i set it uncapped i could hit 17bps+ in straight semi. Let's put it this way when i first got my Vlocity i was out shooting it and bouncing off the LVL10, i upgraded to the Ganstar chip and it's been good since, but that gives you an idea.

And the guys we are talking about have other issues why they dont use there mags, one hardly plays anymore and McMahon's dad plays mostly pump as well.

What is the max ROF that the xmod allows? What modes of fire are there?

Lots of my teammates are trying to convert me to a Mini. Sorry, I don't like the feel of them. Then they say my E-Mag is heavier than their whole setup. Then I let them try out the stiff Tunablade in hyper/hybrid mode and they almost always giggle afterward.

E-Mags are heavier than just about any electro-pneumatic marker on the market today and the balance is very different with that huge battery up front. They're not as gas-efficient either and won't shoot as fast. They can hit 20 bps easy, but when I push mine past 25 bps, even with a Prophecy, it has a few problems because the solenoid is fairly heavy and can't reset as fast. But do you really need to shoot that fast anyway?

On the up side, I don't know of any other marker that can act as its own backup. If I have some electrical problem, I can flip a switch and continue playing in mechanical mode. And you get the style points of playing with an E-Mag instead of some overly commercialized, over-popular marker. It's like pulling up in an old-school SS Camero or Mustang fastback. It just demands respect and prop points. Well, from those that actually know what they are. You'll always get stares from younger, newer players as they try to figure out what kind of "Spyder" you've got.

I think X-Mod lets you set it to 31, but you'll never be able to hit that. Fire modes on 1.8 Beta are semi, release ( fires when you release the trigger, I have no idea who would use this mode or why, ) burst ( adjustable between 2 and 9 rounds, ) full-auto, PSP ramp, NXL ramp, Millenium ramp, hyper ( fires on pull and release, ) and a practice mode w/ or w/o triggering the solenoid.

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...

You can flash the board yourself if you have the programming cable. If not you'll need to send it out. I've seen programming for about $80. But lots of lowers for sale will have X-Mod on it already. And so far as I know, you can still get a Tunablade from Tuna.

[Sumthinwicked]

if u find someone on here programming is 50 like lorn wants many peeps will just do it plus the shipping back to you ask around

Ok cool that's good to know. Too bad there aren't any lowers available right now lol

[fishmishin]

Did TeamBob get rid of his yet? Also check with KC he normally has a couple of things laying around that haven't been put on his sale thread for one reason or another. Hit him up in a PM, I am almost sure he has a extra set of lowers.
