Neglected Emag

[drewkroeker]

I held a mini yesterday in Badlands because I have heard good things about them and was thinking maybe I'd try something new. Just holding it in my hands convinced me to spend my money elsewhere.

It was TOO small. I like to wrap my hand around a foregrip. When I did that on the mini's battery housing and fanned the trigger, I was hitting my hand with my shooting fingers.

Another issue I have is the non-movable asa (although Cannibalistic Paintball has made a drop-forward for the mini). I need the tank moved forward and down for a tighter setup. Much easier to do with an emag.

Minis are not able to be warpfed with nothing obstructing your sight picture.

If Kee made a mini that kept its internals but looked and felt like an emag to hold, then I'd buy one.

Those are my complaints exactly. It's a great gun for the price, but I don't like the FEEL of it. I do like the feel of the G3 though. It's actually lighter than the Mini, but the frame is spread out a bit more to give it a familiar grip.

Just a note, the G3's power button is terribly hard to push, I had to jam it down to get it to turn on.

Hey om3n just read through this thread, but it you ever plan on being in west michigan you are free to shoot mine to see if you like them.

Thanks that would be great Do you ever make it to Hell's Survivors? I plan on going there more often next year, this year is almost over unfortunately, and I am probably just going to be playing at a smaller local field around where I live when I'm not hosting games on my property.

It would be excellent to try out an e-mag before I buy lowers for it, but if AGD has kept the same amount of quality in the e-mag that's it's had in all of the other AGD products I've used/owned, then I'm sure I'll love an emag regardless

Never been to Hell's Survivors. I pretty much stick to Woodland Paintball. It's pretty close and I like everybody there so I never really feel the need to go elsewhere.

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.

Does the x-mod come with psp 3 shot?

[Jaron]

According to the manual, the PSP mode is thee semi shots with a three round burst on the fourth. If the trigger is idle for 250 ms, 1/4 sec, it reverts to semi. The burst is fired at the board's RoF cap though, so it would have to be set to the current PSP RoF ( 13 bps? ) for it to be legal. Other than that it sounds like PSP3 to me.

the emag is great. i love mine. a friend has a mini, it's ok. it's just not for me. i've been playing for a while so i'm used to the older style guns, the ones with some weight to them. he's only started playing a year ago. thankfully he's not like all the "agg" kiddies, he respects the older guns.

if you want a hefty emag to try out you should see mine. e-mag, halo, 12volt warpfeed, air america armageddon. when my friend got his mini he knew i had a few guns and he knew about most of them. he was bragging a bit about how light the mini was over my timmy, ion, and cocker. i then brought over my emag and had him hold it. i told him to gain some strength and deal with it or i will crush his mini under the weight of my gun. sadly, he wouldn't let me set the emag on it to see if i could crush it.

btw i still use 1.36(maybe 1.37, i forget) on my e-mag. i have no desire to upgrade to xmod, i think the gun shoots fine without it. i've also shot a 3.0 too.

the weight of the mini vs. my emag isn't the big issue with me, it's the trigger feel. The Tunablade is just a wonderful trigger, the mini trigger has to much slop for my liking, I'm going to try an after market trigger on the mini maybe that would help. Also with my 68ci tank I hold the marker to far forward for my liking i would like a drop for it, but since that isn't really and option maybe I'll get a 45ci tank. the idea of a mini with my Fiber barrel, Vlocity and 45ci tank appeals to me, it would be a really tight setup.

The size of the mini is great. The trigger frame is large enough so our fingers don't hit the guard and the battery pack makes it very compact. I don't need a drop on it since I use a Ninja 50 4500. The only complaint is the on/off doesn't bleed...

Agreed, I don't like the stock trigger feel on most of the new guns. I've had too many accidental firings with these overly sensitive microswitch triggers that only need to move a millimeter or less. I like a stiffer trigger with a longer pull. Perhaps some aftermarket triggers can help with that, but I don't have the money to experiment.

I'm going to get the new trigger that KEE offers when it comes in i'll let you know how it is.
