What Is A Smartmag!?

[SqueegeeKid]

Nice looking Smartie Beef.
Mines only 26 SmartMags younger than yours. I wonder how many they actually made.

So yours came with a splashkit. Did they all? There isn't alot of info on them, i'm wondering if the guy i bought it off of kept the splash kit and extras and tossed old mag stuff on mine.

well

as far as i know they all came with (smarts parts )splash ano and a AA barrel and front grip..if yours didnt come with em then thats a realy bad thing(cause it looks so good)but dont dispare you have a different marker then most of these guys and its a bit of history!
oh and aparently they were popular for a short time so i think there are a few were gettin around,

Actually i'm glad i got ripped and didn't get the splash. I sanded my entire mag ('cept the trigger frame which will be done soon) and polished it so it's nice and shiny.
I got a new bottle adapter last Sat. cause my old one didn't fit the HPA tank, so the new one is black too. Ich! Gotta fix that!

I don't like the splash, least on my mag.

I had a Magic Box on my old Mag, and it really hurt the performance on my gun - it increased it's air intake, I broke at least 5 balls a case (on a GOOD day) and I had horrible drop off. In my opinion, after 3 years of that gun (half stock and half Magic Box) I would advise against any Smart Parts upgrade towards your gun other than barrel or anything that can be easily reversed.

i agree

the smart box mod sux and i have seen alot of em around over the years,but my smartmag runs realy well and i have never had problems with it..oh and im getting good rates of fire out of it and very few breaks,

The biggest difference i noticed in mine is that i have very few breaks. in fact the ONLY time i break a ball in it is if im using crappy paint.

[SqueegeeKid]

Same here, and even then, it's rare for me to break paint.
I broke a ton of paint last Saturday, but i had cheap batteries in my Warp so it wasn't feeding properly.

So, if i do break paint, it's my own dumbass fault and not my guns.

I'd actually like to hear Tom's thoughts on the smartvalve. Perhaps he could enlighten us with technical info and detailed dyno graphs. :)

Actually, I think was discussed last year sometime...he probably had allready told us about it, just we forgot!?!

Well the Smartmag was cooked up by Smart Parts during the transition from CO2 to compressed air. When you go to compressed air the pressure in all guns has to go up for physics reasons. Anyway this meant that the Mag would run at about 30-50 psi higher than CO2 and it would feel different when you shot it. The Black Box added air chamber so the pressure would be the same as CO2.

The first ones had an extension tube out the side and they tended to leak a lot. We helped out by drilling extra holes in the valve to increase the chamber from the inside. So if you have a smartvalve you run at slightly lower pressure.
