Going mag, rt or E?

[Sumthinwicked]

I never mentioned an ego, i was simply stating that for the money you can get a mech mag used a hell of a lot cheaper than you can get an emag used. 6-800+ for a used gun isn't a great deal in my opinion.

As for best electrical AKA is where it's at, just because it doesn't have a mech backup doesn't mean it's not the best.

and a few aka owner opinions doesnt make it the best either LOL

i used ego because they are a popular gun...i got u now on the mech vese emag price lol most emags used are in the 5-600 range unless they have alot of ups... but i have used akas and i wasnt impressed was my point, its all preferance though .... if i shoot u with a rainmaker and u have an aka in your hand i still shot u so both our points are moot LOL :P both aka and agd are good guns nuff said

Well i've heard great things about excals, about how they're really smooth shooting guns since they're closed bolt, i still want to try one, but if it's true that's really what makes or braks a great gun for me, honestly mags aren't the smoothest shooting guns.

OH YEAH??
AKA's aren't the smoothest shooting guns either!!!11!one!

But they always shoot (as long as you have air). My mags kept chugging along when even my Tippmann went down. My buddy loves his AKA and hates my mech mag, one is no better than the other as far as i am concerned just like the mag better. Opinions.

Oh don't get me wrong, i love mags, and if you look at my past posts they are by far my favorite marker, i was just intrigued when i heard about the excal and how the closed bolt operation with how the weight moved made it shoot smoother, and so i want to try one to see if i like it because it sounds like i would. That being said, i can still admit that mags are not the best guns when it comes to feeling smooth while shooting, they're better than a lot of guns in that respect, but still far from the best.

i guess can the aka switch to mech (very important to me ) i think not ....

Please explain why. An Emag can shoot over 10k shots on a charged battery. When would you use a complete battery in a weekend, and need the possibility to switch to mech?

when it is raining... and muddy... and if you like to dive...

I know when it's raining and I'm playing, I take the battery off and turn it on mech....

But honestly i'm sure you have a mech mag you could use as a back up, most people here have an extra mag (or so it would seem). Honestly if you've been playing for a while the whole "it can switch to mech" thing sort of loses it's edge, because yeah i could do that, or i could pull out one of my other markers i normally bring. Don't get me wrong, i do like the feature, and it's a good one, but it's no really imperative.

It can be useful if you are on the field and you forgot to take the battery out... and still wanted to use the emag, but took a nasty fall/dive and buggered up the electronics (or ace if you have it) than you can quickly switch to mech/RT and get it going in seconds

well I just sold(am still selling) my tac-one to buy an x-mag body, so no, I don't have a backup anymore lol

And yeah, I've been playing for a while, and twice last year I played in the rain and took the battery off my mag to play. Still works too.

That is the only situation i can see where it would be advantageous, and i've thought that for a while, but the likelihood of that happening isn't reason enough to say that's why you should get one.

Omen, i'm sure it works great, i'm not questioning that, honestly i want n emag, badly haha, but it's way too pricey for me. However i can understand if it is your only marker, like will be your case, how it would be nice, then again you don't NEED, that xmag body haha.

Anyway, back on topic, it's really up to you what to get, i personally would go for a mech mag especially if you won't be playing that much, if you'll be playing more maybe the emag.

I only have my Emag so the switch in mods it king for me.

But I started with a Mech mag and worked my way up. or get a Mech mag. then do a EP frame you could swap out at the field easy enough (very easy to do this with sleeper EP frame) and you have the same options you just have to walk off field to do it... Not a huge deal to miss part of only ONE round of play.

[ProblemKinder]

get a pump mag.

I have played in lite rain with my old xmags, and they never gave problems (It never was switched to M mode). If it rains hard enough that I have to worry about electronics then it probably means that I need to quit playing. The theory of switching is wonderful as is the warp feed. The problem is that they are just not that practical.

To the OP
Buy a ule body, a ule rail, an xvalve with ult, and a nice frame/foregrip. That is going to be your best AGD setup.
