    How fast can you get your e-mag?

    So I am invited to go play at an indoor reball field for someone's birthday, and apparently the rules there are for $20 we get unlimited air fills and unlimited reballs. They also don't care about rate of fire.

    This has gotten me extremely excited, so I decided to try to see how fast I can get my mag going. I haven't adjusted the dwell or the fix yet, but as of right now I can get about 20 bps without problems (chuffing) on stock settings. What I would like to know is how fast have you guys gotten your mags, and with what settings? I'm using x-mod 1.8 by the way.

      If you are running it as an electro the fastest the solenoid will go is like 26 bps. If you are rting it the fastest I've seen is 31 bps

        In E I can get it to 23bps. I havent tried running over 900 psi into it though..

            I got my Xmag to fire consistently at 26bps with a 950psi output tank... Xmod1.8, full auto, no chops or LVL10 rejections. It was purely to settle a bet about automags and ROF, not in field conditions and not in semi. It also had a fairly immaculately tuned LVL10 (if I do say so myself) but it's still a testament to the amazing capabilities of Automags, given the right hopper/tank/paint.

                I do hope you are shooting at experenced players
                What is the fields chrono limit , be prepared to chrono a lot lower than normal ( so it may want to be set up different ) I actually have a valve ( marker ) set up for night play , my normal setup won't run at 250 FPS

                  our old reball fields were 220 chrono.

                    Drop the gold bolt spring in there. It allows a faster cycle time and will allow you to chrono lower for indoor play. Faster cycle time will allow for more cycles per second.
                    Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.

                        I think big E got mine up to 28 with a shaved on/off pin , xmod, and a high output tank, lol

                          QFT.

                          I attained that as a top maximum speed of e mode.

                          I pulled 28 with a dwell of 18; xmod1.8; and 1000psi on a dynaflow; .712 pin quad oring.

                          The higher pressure helps reset the plunger/sear faster and allows you to get higher rates of fire.

                            on the emag your going to be solenoid limited not pneumatically limited. and the noid can probably trigger faster then you can load it anyway. most loaders dont do too well with feeding reballs esp dirty ones.

                              Thanks for the replies so far guys.

                              this is my setup:

                              - nitroduck i-reg that outputs 1000psi
                              - ground on/off pin, courtesy of Big-E
                              - currently have a red spring on my bolt, I will try a gold spring tomorrow however
                              - loader is a prophesy, so my that 'shouldn't' bottleneck me.

                              I tried messing with my gun earlier today, and using the chart from neidtech.com about dwell, fix, and rof, I was able to get it going at a solid 22 bps before it would chuff. I'm going to try using a steel braided hose rather than the macro line that's currently feeding the valve to see if the chuffing is a result of air constriction (also my battery was half dead, so that could be a factor). This was also with a red spring, I will try a gold spring soon. I chopped about 3 balls though when I finally tried to run paint through the gun, and that was a major disappointment. I will also try the above settings to see if I have luck with those

                              EDIT
                              one more piece of information is that the field chrono is 260 fps
