E-Mag weight

[Schnitzel]

Once, when playing a game a lot like charades in my drama class, this kid walked up to take his turn and I just immediately thought "A Wrinkle in Time". It's a book I read a LONG time ago. Anyway, he gets up there, and makes a symbol for "book". Huh. Then he makes the symbol for "four words". So I figured, what the hey, and said "A Wrinkle in Time". He couldn't believe it, and frankly neither could I. ...And a couple of times I weny to pick up my cell phone and realized that it wasn't ringing, and then it started ringing. Freaks people out when you answer at the first possible second.

huh?

I guess you would have to have read RT_Luver's post.

Granted, I was way off topic, I just wanted to answer RT's post.

While flatlines are certainly nice tanks, why tie up the money and extra weight in an adjustable tank if you only use your e-mag in e-mode?

I realize that the weight savings are not much but every little bit helps.

Just a thought.

I would say that the flatline is one of the lightest regs and tank set ups available. It's worth having it over a screw in because of the on/off and adjustability.

OK you guys asked for it...your about to see a pict of a fully rigged emag, warp, hopper and flatline 68/3K combo on a digital scale running in at exatly 9.0 pounds. Note that the tank is at 2K and not many balls in the system on this picture. Later filled to 3K and full hopper it was right on 9.5 but I do not have a picture of that. (hope this is not too small for you to make out the 9.0)

Phil, just admit it, you put helium in the tank...

and err the picture is photoshopped, I can clearly see where you removed the mice which were standing on the desk and supporting the gun...

err.. Can you convert it to KG for me, no idea what these pound thingies are

hehe... Pounds is money to you I guess...

Hmmm is it not 2.2 pounds per Kilo?

Thing that worries me is the above report of a Hallo and a 88ci tank gaining it up to 3+ more pounds. Man! I am not considering that set up!

I'm not sure if my Flatline weighs more than the Crossfire screw in I have for my other marker. I bought the flatline with the EMag thinking that 1 company 1 place to service.

Cost-wise, the Flatline is a pretty good deal. For $265, I got an excellent performing, adjustable tank, with drop forward. Comparable, but still a little more expensive than a screw-in 68/4500 plus $30 drop forward.

ANYWAYS I'm with the dude up top...what IS a ULE grip?

You might want to get on the weight of the Halo first. It's very heavy.

More than a warp w/ Revy? No way...

Irregardless, I don't want to spend anymore money on PB for a while. I'll make due with what I have. I'll play with my Retro AM when I don't want to carry "the beast". Or maybe experiment with a remote...

If you want to make you gun FEEL lighter, then i would move the battery pack twards the tank. I say feel lighter because all you are doing is moving weight and adding some to attach it, but it does feel quite a bit heavier. If you dont understand that too well when i say feel lighter use this as an example; take a weight and hold it out with your arm extended and then hold it by your chest. Which one FEELS lighter? i know a guy who is trying to make the piece if you are interested.

C&C Body, lose the warp, Dynaflow tank (Conquest doesn't have a high enough output).

[magman007]

my problem with the e-mag is all the weight is in the back, none in the front, sure the pack is heavy, but if you tilt it back, your gonna have a little trouble tiltin it foreward again, why? because the triggerframe (dang hump) and the body rail and the valve are all very heavy! also, all of the colored e-mags, have the ULE or Ultra Light E-mag parts on them, the body rail is milled down more, and so is the triggerframe, the reiggerframe dosnt have that dang darn hump in it, me i love the hump, i just hate the weight it adds.
