Tourney coming up... not pleased with mag.

Same problem

I had the same problem at a small local tourney. My gun would freeze up off the break! My friends were shooting tippmanns with no problem. I finally decided to fix the problem. I bought a palmers sideline stab. It works perfect. In my opinion, the only way to run a mag off CO2.

Just out of curiosity, why did you only post a response, that would lead him to buy equipment other than agd? ... I mean as said before.. this is AUTOMAGS.ORG right.. not E-99Spyder.org or whatever...

Because we are not here to sell mags, we are here to help people out and talk about paintball. Mags are great, but i'm not going to try and stop him from buying a E99.

[Kaiser Bob]

Just a small question, if you can't afford a 90 dollar stab for your gun, how would you afford buying a 125 dollar E-99 without selling your mag?

[Dayspring]

Tell me you're kidding. We are here to spread the good word of mags to others. You can't honestly think these forums are up just to provide us a place to chat do you? We're a marketing tool for AGD. (And a pretty good one at that). I believe it was either Shartley or CPhilip that posted it-

I'm sick of seeing people told to buy this gun or that gun (other than a 'Mag). It's disrespectful to AGD. You want to plug another marker, go somewhere else.

Where in there did i say it only works on HPA? all im saying is if he wants the best performance he has to put in the best stuff. and if i was you i would read AND comprehend what it is others said before you talk and start calling people ignorant.

EDIT: i edited my first post to make it easy to understand

You better edit your post. My mag preformed good enough on Co2. With your logic on Co2, your bs statement, "the gun doesn't make the player" goes down the toliet.

[AGD]

Don't spend any money to make the mag work on co2. If your really broke sell it and buy the spider. The thing that makes the most sense is to get a screw in HPA for around 150 and keep it. You will use the HPA with every gun you ever own but the spider you will sell before the year is out for less than you pay for it.

Well...

HPA is so cheap nowadays that it is definitely the best solution - assuming you can get HPA fills, which this guy apparently can't.

I ran my old Mag Classic on CO2 on a remote for ages without any trouble, even in cold weather. Remotes are the best expansion chambers ever, huge amounts of surface area relative to volume. If you're in the habit of using the tank as a stock, just pick up a stock.

If you don't have an anti-siphon tank now, it shouldn't be a surprise that the gun isn't working - are you sure your friend's spyder wasn't performing better just because he had an anti-syphon and you didn't?


Note: You don't need anti-syphon with a remote. You DEFINTIELY need one without it - and even then, be sure to only hold your gun upright and screw it in to align the arrow correctly. Remember hat the anti-syphon tank puts the "in" point at about the middle of the top side of hte tank - so you want to keep that point "up" whenever possible.

But yeah, don't assume it was the spyder unless you're sure that other things are constant.

Well...

Tom's had great advice, but for the wrong question. You're not answering the question that was asked.

This guy's field doesn't do N2 fills. Even if the local welding or scuba shop does, he's not going to get through a day of play on one tank fill, especially not the 3K 68 screwin he's going to get for sub-$100. What's he going to do, drive back to the scuba shop after every two games to get his tank filled back up?

It would be stupid for this guy to buy a N2 tank he can't get filled at his field.


He needs an anti-syphon tank or a remote/expansion chamber. Just because N2 is the right answer for you doesn't make it the right answer for everyone else.

uh in case you cant read ( wich is what i suspect at the moment) i did edit my post befor you even read it. second how does the fact that your mag worked on co2 affect the fact that the gun doesnt loose games? you make no sense at all. READ and COMPREHEND other peoples post before you talk.

Tom that would be possible but he doesnt have a close area in which he can get nitro fills. Me personally finds this odd, if your "tourney" team goes to tourneys most feilds should support them. Not saying that your lieing or what not, you could just play more back-yard ball than on rec fields. But if you cant support the money for making your gun run on C02 then as Tom said dont try. Its not worth it, mags need to be setup properly to be ran on C02 other wise they just shoot like poo-pee.

So if i were you i would sell the mag and look into a nice imp, upgraded or not (your the one spending money) make sure to go for a newer one. And run C02 on it, or eather a shocker, but i would make sure if you were to go for a shocker you were there to see it/shoot it. Cause ones going online are rather phishy, eclipse makes a mean shocker, and the new shockers arent that bad at all. Just boxey
