Sfl E-mag....booooo!

[RSUAVE911]

Is it me or something but just by reading different post on the SFL E-MAG does not really make me want to buy one. Everything I have read just doesn't make it sound like it is that great and there are still many problems to work out.


I do not think it is worthy of buying, especially for that price. I think there are just way too many great markers out there without all these problems. The SFL E-MAG is like what 1350-1450? The IR3 not saying it is better, but when I shot one was awesome. They are around 1400. Like I said, I am not sure that they are better but they do have much more work into them, many more features (maybe some you do not even need but they have them if you want), and in my mind looks a lot better except for that ugly *EDIT* Do not circumvent the cuss filters. Army grip. There are just so many features WDP has put into the IR3, and I just wonder why AGD is not as advanced. I do not think AGD and Shocktech made this gun as good as it could of been.

I guess just more bang for your buck. What I have heard on these boards really does not make me want to drop my gun and go and buy one.

As of late, there has been a lot of posts with negative things to say about the SFL. How many satisfied SFL owners are out there?

Well I can tell you right now the electronics in the gripframes of angels wouldent be concidered advanced by 80's standards. There are more powerful functions in a standard scientific calculator.

The electronics make the gun "cool" but not advanced.

The reason that AGD does not put "26 modes of fire" in their guns is simply because it is not needed.

IF you want to talk about being advanced ask Tom how badly the E-mag spanked the angel in terms of consistency, recharge times, and rate of fire.

The fact still remains that it is the ONLY gun that can feed and fire 20 balls per second on command with no shootdown.

Even if you had super fast feeding on the angel you would never be able to do 20bps. Of course you would be able to cycle that fast but never feed that fast.

The open bolt times arent short enough.

The fact remains that E-mag is nearly twice as fast.

I am extremelly happy with my SFL. It's preformed great. Last time I was out I shot 3/4 of a case with no chops or breaks. And they all flew like darts. I love this gun. It seems like everytime I go out to the field some angel owner is sitting out, going home early or cussing over their gun. I like the simple design of the SFL. Less gadgets means less to go wrong. If I wanted all the angel features I'd go buy a gigapet and save myself $1350.

Hmmm... The emag seems to be more advanced than the angel... The angel doesn't have manual mode does it?

[Cliffio]

i dunno whether to stick up for the angel or agree with everyone...

I'm not saying that the angel is a bad gun. I like them and would like to own one some day. But I really love the feel of my SFL. It works reliably and since this is my 5th mag I know how to fix it blindfolded. You can't argue that they are'nt a simpler design.

I thuroughly enjoyed.. cussing.. Watch the language.. and even throwing my angel..

[FooTemps]

I might as well be bias so I just like the idea of having a manual mode to fall back onto when the electronics get wet or when the board gets damaged.

My angel board fried for no freaking reason.. So mechanical is good

To me it sounds like SFL's are best used with a warp or halo.

[stooks]

And as far as the reliability of SFL's it seems to be pretty good since I've never seen Load's down..
