Anyone using the new breed of mechs?

[Gundam V]

I shot the shocker one at the USXBL championship a couple of months back... I was actually super impressed. The trigger was snappy... the gun was light and pointed well...

The guy at the booth (at least 10 years younger than me) put his finger in the breach and pulled the trigger like I should be impressed...

I gave him the people's eyebrow... and was like "bro... you know we've been doing that with mags since the early 2000s right?" LOLOLOL.

I did ask about a double trigger... and he said there were no plans because the point of mech was to slow things down and they didn't want an arms race.

But I was super impressed.

Probably going to sell some guns to pick one up.

I have a hard time shooting brittle paint through my mags in the winter here... having 1 would allow me to shoot mech in the winter.

If you have a lvl 10 on your mag, wouldn't getting a different bolt spring fix your brittle paint issue? [emoji848]

Yeah... got LX in 2 xvalve setups... both tuned with the red springs... and sometimes they are still blenders...

It is so bad I usually use a carbon fiber barrel so i can play through breaks... or just switch to my space gun...

And it typically isn't breaks in the breach... they break in the barrel...

If it breaks in the barrel, isn't that more a sizing issue? Do you still have breaks with a barrel with a larger bore?

Still happens even with old massively bored barrels (think .689 ish)...

Most of the paint at my local fields is super small... .679 or maybe .682 (usually .679)... and I still get it with .684 and larger (it being barrel breaks).

I have absolutely zero desire to shoot anything other than my mags. I did try my buddies M3S spacegun and felt a little dirty because I liked it, but its still not a mag.

I bought an Emek to use as a loaner, and I really love it for that. I mean, I'm still gonna shoot a mag, and if a friend asks me what to buy, I'm gonna encourage him to buy a mag, but I still think Emeks make better loaners. I have a Level 10 classic that I used to use, and it is certainly fool-proof and reliable, but it's also heavy and inefficient. And the twist-lock barrel confuses the heck out of new players. I've had friends half-twist the barrel out of curiosity plenty of times and then not be able to shoot the next game because the balls aren't feeding.

Contrast that with an Emek, which is lighter, easier to use, and more ergonomic. Every time I give a new player the choice between my Emek and Level 10 classic to play with, they choose the Emek. So I'm keeping it. I might even sell the classic and get another.

Paintball is fun.

Mags are fun.

Having shot the Gmek and Emek in back to back games several times, I personally prefer the Emek.

However having said that the Gmek is a fantastic marker too.

Gmeks/emeks can't be customized the way mags can be.
