Emag vs. Nasty Impulse

[Jammin James]

I'm either gonna get an emag or a nasty vision impulse but I couldn't really think why anyone would want the emag over the impulse because the impulse: is lighter, has a better barrel (freak), looks cooler, has same trigger basically (magnetic), no chops, and it is over $100 cheaper. Anybody able to convince me to get an e-mag.

[Jammin James]

oh yeah, and it runs on CO2, unlike an emag

[AcemanPB]

emag is faster and more reliable

The Impulses I've seen have broken paint. I'm not talking about chopping although without the eye they did that too.

I haven't come in contact with a Nasty and Impulses are very nice guns, but the one on my team always seems to have problems.

How much is a nasty with Freak and all the goodies?

couldn't help making that reference... LOL

I shot an Impy yesterday and felt, while the recoil wasn't bad, the trigger seemed very sloppy to me. Long live the EMag.

stock impy triggers are pretty sloppy, but when you get into the better ones, that goes away.

The imp may look better but the e-mag is more reliable, has better customer support, is faster, is easier to maintain and will never chop with lvl 10.

Emag

Impy's are maintence hogs. everytime you play, you have to strip them down and dow33 everything. Setting the dwell is a pain, and lastly, I can't stand high, double stacked tube guns, impy, bushy etc. Just my 2cents

Get the gun you want the nasty, if you dont like it, sell it.

Then try the emag... if you dont like that... sell it...

Then try the angel... you will like it. And will only sell it to get another angel

Well since I was literally days away from buying an Impy before I foudn my SFL, I guess I can have an opinion about this.

I like Impy's, obviously I was going to buy one, but just remember that it will always be a tweaked out version of a medium priced electric gun. The Nasty, and Rat and all of their likes are not really $1000 electros. I have shot a Nasty and a Rat and I can say without question that I would not take either one of them over an e-mag nor especially over my SFL. In terms of pure shooting pleasure the mag wins everytime.

Some people do not like the plain tube design of mags, point of fact I am one of them, but that does not change that fact that they are awesome guns. So appearance will go to the Impy.

Lastly, reliability. I had my SFL out last weekend and had to to put it away and break out my Retro because the bottle developed a leak. I have never had a day of play where my mag developed a problem. Its virtually impossible to beat the reliability of a mag.

So what we are really talking about is do you like the looks of an Impy so much that you are willing to compromise in other areas to have that? Or you could be patient and wait for the Extremes to come out and spend a little more money and have it all.

Just my opinion, I could be wrong.

put in another perspective...would you rather have a $600 tricked out spyder, or a $600 stock RT Pro (or cocker if you're a guy dude).

well jammin james, i hear ya. i am going through that same decision, i played with an impulse for the first time today and it was a pretty nice gun. honestly, i want a used emag with lvl10 then upgrade to the xtreme body kit with ACE, then i will have it all. now the problem is that the impulse does it all except pinch paint but with the vision its not a problem. so what do i do? imp vision or lvl10 emag to an xtreme. im talking about bang for the buck though, not which is ultimately better which is the xtreme no doubt. not to mention u cannot beat quality and customer service of AGD products. but im as stuck as u are, just sharing.(if only money wasnt an issue, ahhh life would be great with my c+c xtreme emag)

I'd take a stock RT pro over any Impluse on the planet. Period. I've shot several, and I just can't stand Impys.
