    I played with my warped E-Mag this weekend at the local scenario game, and got a lot of looks and comments. I have the warp set close and behind the grip, with an eggy angled over the air-through stock for a center-balanced setup (with remote hose), so at least I didn't get any "OMG that must be so off-balance" that I used to get with the more traditional warp setup. I did get a "hey how do you like that Mini" comment, I stole a quote I saw on here once and answered something to the effect of "this ain't no mini, a maxi maybe".

      My RT Pro is nearly permanently warp-fed. Most people think it is vaccuum powered, for some reason, and the most common question next to "what is that?" is "How do you switch hands?".

      Usually they think it is stupid, lame, heavy (despite that I tell them the gun itself is heavy... the warp only adds a pound), inconvinient, more to get hit, or just uncomfortable.
      I tell them that I like it, and that's all that matters.

      Then they play against me all thinking that I am at a disadvantage. They shoot at me, I take cover while aiming, shoot out of my cover, and they can't figure out how they got out

      I've actually had times where someone sees me running, shoots at me, I take cover behind a brick but peek over the top (valve even with my nose), and they literally turn to look at someone else or shoot at another person and ignore me for that fatal half second when they thought I was just head-checking...


      I love using it because the results are so unexpected. Half of the people I shoot around a corner or through a window or over a bunker don't know what happened the first time. Then they get timid and when they see me they hammer me.


      It's a lot of fun, but I only use it on my Automag. I still prefer Vert on my T2 and I use the Cyclone feed on my 98. All my other guns are SC...

        not the greatest of pics, but you can see what I've done. I've since cut the feed neck, did some painting and changed to oxide black screws, but dont have new pics yet.

            The bracket was the easy part, its just the long slotted Q-loader bracket from the fancy mounting kit cut down lengthwise (to clear my hand) with a few holes drilled through it. The part that was a pain for me was drilling and tapping the rail.

              That is a very nice Q-set up... I've heard that you can also use one of lukes metal elbows do do something similar.... I've been thinking about doing that with my micro.... when I get my Q-pods back

                  i am mag-less at the moment, but i'm thinking of starting a emag or pneumag piece togeather project. and the one thing that is a must(besides the gun itself ) is a warp. this old man would'nt go on a field without one. they work.
