Emag vs. Nasty Impulse

[Jammin James]

why can't you stand impulses?

[nutz]

I shoot a vision imp. I have not had any problems with it. Yes you do have to take it apart after ever day of play and slop dow33 on lots of parts, but it is very very easy to do and can be done in under 5 min. Now I would go with the nasty for this choice simply because impulses are really a good gun. Sure you gotta take care of it but its nothing close to rocket science. Also most imps need very little tweaking to get them to perform. If you got a nasty it would perform well straight out of the box.

However the Emag is a very good gun too. Ive had one before and I felt it just wasnt the gun that felt best to shoot. My impy was.

Now don't let the opinions and bias of this forum sway you. In the end when you need to choose a gun. Pick the one that feels best to you and pick the one you can play your best with. Try both guns out at local fields and see what you like. Heck you might even find a different gun to fall in love with....

i don't own either one but i've shot both, and i like the way the emags trigger feels, i mean once you get into that high of a marker price range the guns performance are almost identical (20bps what? ) but anways what i was saying is once you start spending close to one grand on a marker, the most important factor is feel, and how you like the "feel" of the gun.. so go shoot both of 'em at your field!!!


oh BTW don't forget the emag is both an electric and mechanical marker!

I wouldn't get an impulse, they tend to break a lot, my bro had one but he got rid of it and bought a mag. Whatever you get, if you can get it at your local store, so if you have problems they can fix it. I know this forum is good for help, but nothing beats someone who can show you how to fix it first hand.

[AcemanPB]

lol not at my local store... they are morons all they know how to fix is a tippmann, and they can barely do that cause they couldn't even install my friends RT kit on his tippmann and they don't stock mag stuff!! oh and they are very expenisve, i think a M98 runs around 200 no kidding

The only thing i don't like about impulses, besides that they don't feel solid which is an opinion, is that they are gas hogs and not consistant. Changing the velocity is about 15 minutes going back and forth to the chrono and you have to fix the velocity constantly. They often need to be fixed as well. These are my observations of my friend and his impulse, that he sold. When it works right, it works really well but don't use black paint w/ the vision.

Your signature is apt.

for those of you with emags, I have a question. How long is the trigger pull in hybrid mode? (is it adjustable?)

[EnderWigginPballin]

Impulses are nice guns... I was considering a Rat (stupid me) for a while, but then Lvl 10 came along.... and once i order that and my Intelliframe, my Mag is gonna be just as good as any Impulse...

AND, if you want a truly good Impulse, go with a Freak Factory or Demonic. the other Imps, like Rats and Nasties are just milled bodies with aftermarket parts put into them. the Demonic and FF are actually designed as custom guns, the parts were all designed and made for them... the Nasty and Rat are pretty much conglomerations of Eclipse and New Desingz parts.

the Impulse is also really tall, and it's electro which is in itself something that should be held against it. electro vs. mechanical is like automatic vs. manual transimmsions. everyone drives an automatic because it's easier, but we all know that a manual is more fun and takes more skill and practice, which makes it cooler...

Ok dont say emags are better because of the magnet trigger. Eclpise makes a magnetic tirgger for the impulse.

Impulses arnt gas hogs if you set them up right. My impulse runs at 90 PSI with the LPR mod and i get about 1600 shots outa a 68/3k tank.

The 20 bps thing isnt a way to compare them. Use your finger to fire 20bps.. if you cna do that then you can do that on either an Emag or a vision impulse.

Impulses are a little taller but you can get cool new bodies like the Adrenaline impulse and nasty, FF, Demonic or Toxic.

If you let your batteries die (50,000 shots on a 9 volt) then it is your fault not the gun's.

The stop impulse trigger does suck so you just have to buy a new one.

New Adren impulses are Fear Factory impulses are coming out and they are around the 1000$ range.

Try both guns but don't try a stock impy then try an emag thats not equal comparison.

If you want a marker that look great and performs GOOD, then get the impulse. If you want a marker that looks good and performs GREAT, get an emag.
